A family of eagles who hail from Rustboro City.
In general:
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Apollo is this to Frank: while both defeated the Elite Four in a region, Apollo was able to beat the past Champion while Frank couldn't.
* BadassFamily: All Hawkwind seen on-screen train fully-evolved Pokémon, and one of them is ''the regional Champion''. Frank also defeated the Sinnoh Elite Four, but wasn't able to overthrow the champion.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: The entire family is much more screwed up than they let on. Don is a serial adulterer with several bastard children, Amelia is constantly cheated on yet refuses to get a divorce, Frank is a chain smoker who lets his trauma dominate his life, and Apollo is frequently harassed by both the media and annoying fangirls.
* DrinkBasedCharacterization: Both Apollo and Frank are fond of drinking whiskey, fitting their masculine nature.

* NobleMaleRoguishMale: Apollo is the Noble (a distinguished regional champion with a steady love life), while Frank is the Rogue (an aggressive traumatized Pokémon trainer with a messy love life).
