Trivia

• All versions of Lucian use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). Those Trainers include Aaron, Bertha, Flint, and Shauntal.
  • Despite being added in the same update as Aaron and Bertha, Lucian is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four to have special voice-over lines.

Origin

Lucian's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Lucian uses Girafarig during his first battle with the player in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl. Girafarig's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ruby.
