Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

He trades his Crobat with Toxic and Confuse Ray for an Arcanine with Extreme Speed and Overheat; his Slaking retains Earthquake and Shadow Ball, but trades Swagger and Brick Break for Yawn and ''Hyper Beam''; and he replaces his Lapras (who only had Ice Beam as a standard attack, with Horn Drill as an alternate offensive) with Suicune (who has Blizzard, Surf, and Bite, backed up with Calm Mind).

** In ''Masters'', he uses Houndoom for Battle Villa battles and Gallade in the main story. Strangely enough, he's the only trainer in the whole game whose Pokémon ace is already being used by other trainers (in his case, Barry uses the Piplup line and thus bars Darach from using Empoleon, though him using Houndoom or Gallade doesn't stop Karen and Wally from using them themselves). Time will tell when his official inclusion will change his ace.
