Lacey is the first person the player meets upon their arrival at Blueberry Academy, giving the player their first battle there and introducing them to the [[Terarium]] and [[Blueberry Quest]]s. Later, she is met at the [[Blueberry Academy Cafeteria]], where she votes against [[Drayton]]'s proposition of letting the player participate in the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}}, but is ultimately outvoted. Her Elite Trial is a Pokémon quiz consisting of five questions that the player must answer correctly. After the trial has been cleared, Lacey can be battled.

Lacey (Japanese: タロ Taro) is a character introduced in The Indigo Disk in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. She is a second-year student attending Blueberry Academy, and a member of the BB League Elite Four. She uses Fairy-type Pokémon.

Appearance

Lacey is a young female with fair skin, orchid pink hair, olive brown eyes, and a slim build. Her hair has bright azalea pins over the ears with turquoise jewels resembling to crystals. Her attire is based on the color scheme of the Blueberry Academy, where she wears a white dress shirt with a red ribbon tie surrounding the collar area and a navy blue rectangular pocket where the tie travels through. Her pants are navy blue with white angled stripes by the knee area. She also wears a lavender coat that extends past the knees with pink butterfly wings attached by the arm area, and her footwear features white canvas sneakers.

In the core series games

Lacey is a girl who likes cute Pokémon, which led to her becoming a Trainer of Fairy types. Her father is Driftveil City Gym Leader Clay,[2] with whom she shares the same ace Pokémon. When interacting with Nemona in the League Club Room, she and Lacey are revealed to know each other, with Nemona having battled her father in the middle of a fancy party.[2] She has a habit of crossing her arms in an X-formation to show her disapproval whenever she disagrees with something. She is ranked as the second-strongest member of the Elite Four at Blueberry Academy, situated at Coastal Plaza.

Lacey is the first person the player meets upon their arrival at Blueberry Academy, giving the player their first battle there and introducing them to the Terarium and Blueberry Quests. Later, she is met at the Blueberry Academy Cafeteria, where she votes against Drayton's proposition of letting the player participate in the BB League, but is ultimately outvoted. Her Elite Trial is a Pokémon quiz consisting of five questions that the player must answer correctly. After the trial has been cleared, Lacey can be battled. She rewards the player with TM227 (Alluring Voice) upon being beaten.

After the player has caught Terapagos, Lacey can occasionally be found in the League Club Room, where she offers to rematch the player once a day.

Pokémon

Lacey keeps her Pokémon in Nest Balls.

First battle

Winning this fight is not mandatory. The player will not black out and the story will progress either way.



Subsequent battles

Lacey uses this team in both her Elite Four battle and when challenged at the League Club Room. She sends out her Excadrill last and will Terastallize it at the first opportunity.



Traded to the player

Upon the third unique interaction with Lacey in the League Club Room, she will trade a Snubbull to the player in exchange for almost any Pokémon excluding Shiny, Legendary, or Mythical Pokémon.

Main article: Lacey (Stellar Crown 139)

Lacey is introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Stellar Miracle expansion and the English Stellar Crown expansion, with artwork by Sanosuke Sakuma. An ultra rare version with artwork by the same illustrator and a special illustration rare version of the card illustrated by Souichirou Gunjima were released in the same sets. It allows the player to shuffle their hand into their deck and draw 4 cards, or 8 cards if their opponent has 3 or fewer Prize cards remaining.

  • Lacey is the first Elite Four member to specialize in Fairy-type Pokémon.

    • Lacey is also the only member of the BB Elite Four to use more than one Pokémon not of her specialty type.
  • While Lacey refers to her usage of Plusle and Minun in her first battle as her "Plus-Minus strategy", they each have their Hidden Abilities Lightning Rod and Volt Absorb rather than Plus and Minus, respectively, and her strategy relies on using Discharge to trigger them.
  • Lacey's Rotom Phone uses a Fairy Case.
  • Lacey's trial, a Pokémon quiz, is the same as that employed by Opal, the Gym Leader of Ballonlea in the Galar region.
