Trivia
- In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Roughneck Kirby in the Lost Tower uses only one Pokémon; a Cleffa. This is highly contradictory to the established archetype for this Trainer Class, as well as his name that fans consider to go along with his Pokémon.
- However, he does mention that he is in the Lost Tower because his Pokémon died at the hands of Team Galactic, and Cleffa is the only one he has left.
- Also, in Pokémon Platinum, one of the Roughnecks that can be fought in the Battle Frontier expresses a dislike towards having Pokémon fight each other.
- The Japanese name of this Trainer Class refers to a subculture known as the Skinheads, who are often believed to represent racist and Neo-Nazi views. This is most likely the reason why the name was changed for international releases.
