A Cue Ball or Roughneck (Japanese: スキンヘッズ Skinhead) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They appear as gigantic, hulking bald men. Cue Balls are usually in the vicinity of Bikers, as proven by their many appearances on Cycling Road. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, they have a Gyarados on the back of their vest; in Pokémon Black and White, they have a Krookodile. Their name may be referring to their bald heads, which can resemble white billiards balls.
They specialize in Template:Type2 Pokémon in Generations I and III, and in Dark-type in Generation V. They are sometimes depicted as being affiliated with Team Rocket. In Generation V, they are paired with Bikers to form Hooligans.

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.
