Hex Maniac (Trainer class)

A Hex Maniac (Japanese: オカルトマニア Occult Maniac) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation III games. They appear as young girls dressed as witches in Generation III and as young girls in long black dresses in Generation VI. They appear to be possessed in the Japanese versions of the Generation III games, much like Channelers before them. Though regardless of this they often have a spooky, eerie demeanor to them.

Trivia
  • In Lumiose City, on the second floor of the Fighting Dojo, a girl resembling a Hex Maniac mysteriously appears behind the player as soon as they enter the room, and moves around them without moving her legs, as if floating. She says, "No, you're not the one..." and disappears without a trace. The meaning of this in-game event, if it has any, is so far unknown.
  • A Hex Maniac can be seen in the background of the Haunted House stage of Pokkén Tournament, frantically trying to open a locked door.
  • In Pokémon GO, a Hex Maniac refers to a Trainer who has caught at least 10 Ghost-type Pokémon.
