A '''Cue Ball''' or '''Roughneck''' (Japanese: '''スキンヘッズ''' ''Skinheads'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They appear as bald men wearing leather jackets. Cue Balls are usually in the vicinity of {{tc|Biker}}s, as proven by their many appearances on [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]]. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, they have a {{p|Gyarados}} on the back of their vest; in {{game|Black and White|s}}, they have a {{p|Krookodile}}. Their name may be referring to their bald heads, which can resemble white billiards balls.
