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 girls dressed as witches in Generation III and as 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.
