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.

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, with whom she shares the same ace Pokémon. 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 Blueberry Academy's Cafeteria, where she votes against Drayton's proposition of letting the player participate in the BB League, but is ultimately outvoted. Her Elite Trial is a Pokémon quiz consisting of five questions that the player must answer correctly. After the trial has been cleared, Lacey can be battled. She rewards the player with TM227 (Alluring Voice) upon being beaten.

Pokémon

Lacey keeps her Pokémon in Nest Balls.
