Trivia
- The French official website for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet misspells Lacey's French name as "Tara" in the subheading for her,[4] even though the aforementioned website and in-game material has "Taro" as her French name.[5][6] This error has been fixed as of September 11, 2023.[5]
- 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.
- She is also the only member of the BB Elite Four to use more than one Pokémon not of her specialty type.
- Lacey being Clay's daughter is foreshadowed by their names in English and Japanese, their signature Pokémon being Excadrill, the green gems in Lacey's hairpins matching the green gem on Clay's hat, and the theme of Lacey's biome being a remix of Driftveil City's music.
