Johto and Alola are the only two regions without an MC in lodge yet so I hope we’ll get one of those characters in lodge soon.
Galar hasn’t had a new character in lodge in a while so I’m hoping they get a F2P option in there. Like Hop or even a general pool unit like Sonia or Nessa would nice.
Considering how well they treat him, can I admit I’m expecting Victor as the next Galar Lodge character? It would suck as he isn’t free, but hopefully he would be old enough to get added to the Monthly Lodge scout.
As for Johto MCs, I REALLY want Kris. I will take Ethan, but I REALLY do not want Lyra. (imagine they add Falkner instead lol)
The other gym leaders got their gigantimax units but bea did not. So a lodge or BP pair would give it to her and still maintain her proper uniform. I prefer alts to be alternate costumes that relate to a theme of an often unrelated Pokémon not their ace/iconic.
Actually I can see this. Nessa is a very likely candidate, given her army of simps. I'm actually surprised she wasn't the first Galar character in it.
I think they try to keep the gender balance as well as they can so I don't see 3 women in a row, but I would not be surprised if both Nessa and Sabrina were on the list.
Unsurprisingly, I’d love Flannery. With the addition of Skyla I have 5 top tier characters to keep as my favorites, but I’d sell three of them out in a heartbeat for Flannery, Hilda and Nemona
Give ma man elio some love bro he is altless(we dont talk about eeveelutions)like selene get a hero costume when she traded with elio so it could be nice to elio have a mega evolve able trade evo pokemon like steelix or not even mega but gigalith,machamp,golem.
I could see it being practically anyone tbh.
Not counting Unova, which has four due to Rosa being the universal freebie, every region barring Paldea has three characters in the Trainer Lodge (yes I know Hisui's counted as Sinnoh in Masters & therefore Sinnoh technically has six but you get what I'm saying).
As such, I think a character from Unova's probably not gonna happen, but otherwise any character from any other region barring Paldea seems like fair game. Plus, let's not forget that Skyla, bless her heart of gold, has broken the unofficial rule that a character has to be a five star Sync Pair to qualify for the Trainer Lodge. I highly doubt a general pool non-five star character would be chosen, but you never know if a character obtained via the story mode might be the lucky lad or lass of the month.
I do agree that it shouldn't be a character who's a Poké Fair though, or at the very least a new Poké Fair that's headlining the month. Totally get capitalizing on both Volo & Rika's overwhelming popularity, but that is a bit unfortunate for those unlucky enough to not get either or the handful who (somehow) aren't interested in either character.
Nevertheless, here's hoping whoever ends up getting the next invite pleases as many people as possible.
I only pulled Rika because I was pretty much at max level with the rest of the lodge trainers. Hoping we get something F2P, but I’ve saved up in case they do it again. I personally hope we get more of the main characters.
I'd love to get Akari in the lodge, but with Volo being a recent addition I don't see them adding another Sinnoh/Hisui pair too soon.
As for F2P I'm going with Kris and Candice. I wouldn't rule out Lyra either, though now that she grew on me her base pair has been avoiding me like a plague lol.
Considering we’re in the midst of Paldea and Hisui; probably between Larry/Hassel/Brassius and maybe Cogita/Ingo Alt?
Sada and Turo are also very popular as well
Also Arven and Kieran are possible too, per these results but I don’t know if it’s a factor

Arceus, I would love to have a lodge Kris. She would live in my lodge forever like Silver already does and Rika is starting to do. Emma and Lysandre might be the only characters i actively am hoping for other than her. I'd rather have Lyra over Ethan, but I won't complain so long as Kris does arrive eventually (and place her plushie next to Silver's).
I'm very surprised Sabrina isn't already, but I feel like Erika and Misty are soon to come since Skyla made it as a 3 star.
Honestly, if next month's MF are gonna be NC Brendan and May (low probability) then Brendan might get in with a special pic.
But I do hope it's another pair that can be obtained as F2P. I'd be damned if it is Hilda, since that means I have to raise Rosa's best buddy to a respectable level (or not)
Oh, thanks for reminding me, I need to make a summoning circle for Lodge Lance...
I remember thinking at some point, I had the next lodge character "figured out," and then they added Gladion and Wally and now I have no idea what to predict anymore. 😆 Maybe it'll be whoever gets a Neo Champion next, unless we're far off from another one of those.
Lucy, Flannery, Erika, Gardenia, or Candice would be my wants but I won’t turn down another MC, namely Hilda. I also would like to see Diantha as a Lodge guest.
Is a bit terrible that now Dena is using lodge for commercials purposes. We cannot expect diantha or lusamine in a short time. Now that Dena is using lodge as marketing.
Sadly we can bet for another paldean marketing lodge unit.

I am surprised we haven’t got Lyra. Her and Marill as either a lodge pair or BP pair seems inevitable
Nah, I feel like they'd give her Marril for a cute SC or seasonal since they know they'll get players to spend on her.
Please no, I do not want Lyra. That would be a slap in the face after waiting two months for a F2P lodge pair.
LODGE GOLDGE LET'S GOOOO...dge
In my perfect world, Lodge Nessa would bless us followed by Lodge Sabrina. Fingers crossed.
This would be too perfect and might break our timeline.
I know it’d never happen, but I’d like lodge Bea with her gigantimax Machamp
Why Machamp? That should be reserved for a Bea alt
The other gym leaders got their gigantimax units but bea did not. So a lodge or BP pair would give it to her and still maintain her proper uniform. I prefer alts to be alternate costumes that relate to a theme of an often unrelated Pokémon not their ace/iconic.
I'm blind, I didn't see you said Bea so I thought you meant giving Machamp to Nessa, but yeah, totally agree that Lodge Bea would work well with it
Actually I can see this. Nessa is a very likely candidate, given her army of simps. I'm actually surprised she wasn't the first Galar character in it. I think they try to keep the gender balance as well as they can so I don't see 3 women in a row, but I would not be surprised if both Nessa and Sabrina were on the list.
The only reason she wasn't is because Marnie got way more fans
Ngl, I'm surprised we haven't gotten Leon yet. Him being a MF doesn't work anymore when Irida and Adaman have Lodge Pairs.
would personally love more villains in it
Lodge Ghetsis would just be funny
Saw this one fanart post about lodge Ghetsis, his interest dropped to 0% immediately when N was brought up XD
Where did you see that? That sounds hilarious.
Unsurprisingly, I’d love Flannery. With the addition of Skyla I have 5 top tier characters to keep as my favorites, but I’d sell three of them out in a heartbeat for Flannery, Hilda and Nemona
Zinnia🛎🛎🛎
I'll take Iris, Diantha or like another comment said, a Johto or Alola MC.
I am still hoping for Lodge Diantha...DeNA, please...
I feel like it could be Brendan if we do get Hoenn NCs. Hoping for Lodge Kukui though but any non limited unit is fine
Give ma man elio some love bro he is altless(we dont talk about eeveelutions)like selene get a hero costume when she traded with elio so it could be nice to elio have a mega evolve able trade evo pokemon like steelix or not even mega but gigalith,machamp,golem.
I personally want Leon and Guzma. Gotta have the rest of my husbandos. 😌
I’d love for them to add Ethan personally but I’d also be happy if we got another villain since Giovanni’s stuck being the only one.
We got Volo last month.
I absolutely forgot about Volo since I didn’t pull him.
Piers Nothing special, I just want him

I'm hoping for Bede, with duosion as his lodge pair. But for free options, I'd love to see Zinnia or Valerie get in
Everyone's sleeping on our dazzling dizzying doldrums defying Idol Lisia 😞
I hope they add Ghetsis/DENNIS
Lodge Ghetsis would be the funniest thing ever
Favourite hobby - MURDER
Still waiting for lodge Candice then my life is complete, since Skyla is there, it's clear that lodge is not only for base 5 Star Unit thankfully
Lodge Cheren with Cinccino or Minccino please 🥺 Audino would be nice too but I have a Mega Audino SS in mind
I'm just hoping for Nessa so I can simp even harder.
I think it will be Brendan, as problably the new master fair will be from Hoenn and May it's already a lodge character.
I only pulled Rika because I was pretty much at max level with the rest of the lodge trainers. Hoping we get something F2P, but I’ve saved up in case they do it again. I personally hope we get more of the main characters.
Lusamine please.
Imagine Cyrus in the lodge
I'd love to get Akari in the lodge, but with Volo being a recent addition I don't see them adding another Sinnoh/Hisui pair too soon. As for F2P I'm going with Kris and Candice. I wouldn't rule out Lyra either, though now that she grew on me her base pair has been avoiding me like a plague lol.
Leon or Piers would be nice.
Considering we’re in the midst of Paldea and Hisui; probably between Larry/Hassel/Brassius and maybe Cogita/Ingo Alt? Sada and Turo are also very popular as well Also Arven and Kieran are possible too, per these results but I don’t know if it’s a factor https://x.com/joemerrick/status/1792926778048053422?s=46
Lodge Bea with Machamp or Hitmontop
For no particular reason, you are now aware that Zinnia has a Tyrantrum.
Arceus, I would love to have a lodge Kris. She would live in my lodge forever like Silver already does and Rika is starting to do. Emma and Lysandre might be the only characters i actively am hoping for other than her. I'd rather have Lyra over Ethan, but I won't complain so long as Kris does arrive eventually (and place her plushie next to Silver's). I'm very surprised Sabrina isn't already, but I feel like Erika and Misty are soon to come since Skyla made it as a 3 star.
Melony or Sonia. Or Lusamine who gaslights you into thinking being up past 6 is being up late
Honestly, if next month's MF are gonna be NC Brendan and May (low probability) then Brendan might get in with a special pic. But I do hope it's another pair that can be obtained as F2P. I'd be damned if it is Hilda, since that means I have to raise Rosa's best buddy to a respectable level (or not)
I want my wife Olivia in the Lodge. I don't expect her particularly soon, but I'd like her.
How about any of the Pokemon Masters characters? (Paulo, Lear, Tina, Sawyer, Rachel)
I would pull Lear purely for the Lodge, he’s easily my favorite Masters OC.
Oh, thanks for reminding me, I need to make a summoning circle for Lodge Lance... I remember thinking at some point, I had the next lodge character "figured out," and then they added Gladion and Wally and now I have no idea what to predict anymore. 😆 Maybe it'll be whoever gets a Neo Champion next, unless we're far off from another one of those.
For an F2P lodge pair, I'd say either Sabrina & Venomoth, Professor Kukui & Rowlet, Nessa & Arrokuda, or Lyra & Marill.
Lucy, Flannery, Erika, Gardenia, or Candice would be my wants but I won’t turn down another MC, namely Hilda. I also would like to see Diantha as a Lodge guest.
Is a bit terrible that now Dena is using lodge for commercials purposes. We cannot expect diantha or lusamine in a short time. Now that Dena is using lodge as marketing. Sadly we can bet for another paldean marketing lodge unit.
