-Shipping Name Origin
"TrickyShipping" was coined by Vycksta on Serebii.net in around May of 2009.[Notes 1] In their words, it's a play on how Lance is "a 'tricky' customer to trainers because of his status as Kanto E4 member/Johto champion and Lyra's the same for stopping Team Rocket and taking his place on the latter."[1]
