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.

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. If the player answers the same question incorrectly twice in a row, they must battle a League Club member before they can continue. 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.

Appearance

Lacey is a young woman with pale skin, pink hair, and hazel eyes. She has pink and green pins in her hair, near her ears. She wears a long lavender coat with sashes around the arms with decoration resembling fairy wings over the BB Autumn Uniform. She wears white sneakers.

Pokémon

Lacey keeps her Pokémon in Nest Balls.

First battle

Winning this battle 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.
