Ruin Maniac (Trainer class)
A Ruin Maniac (Japanese: いせきマニア Ruin Maniac) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation III games. They are often depicted as stereotypical explorers, in Generation III as old men in safari outfits and pith helmets, generally having an appearance of an archeologist in the field. In Generation IV they are younger and wear fedoras and jackets, which make them look very similar to Indiana Jones.
They can usually be seen near any archaeological sites containing rare Pokémon or events. One such Trainer in Generation IV proposes a contest between and the player and himself at who can be faster: the player catching 26 Unown or the Ruin Maniac digging through the Maniac Tunnel.
They generally use a mixture of Rock, Ground and Template:Type2 Pokémon such as Geodude, Bronzor, Sandshrew and Sandslash.
