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, unwilling to pull the player into the League Club's ongoing drama, 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.

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.

Trivia

• The French official website for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet misspelled Lacey's French name (Taro) as "Tara" in the subheading for her.^[5][6] This error was fixed as of September 11, 2023.^[7]
• Lacey is the first Elite Four member to specialize in Fairy-type Pokémon.
• Lacey is the only member of the BB Elite Four whose designated Terastallized Pokémon is not of her specialty type prior to being Terastallized. It is also the only such Pokémon to be first discovered in Unova.
  • 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 is the only BB Elite Four member who doesn't have a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution.
