Trivia[]
- They are commonly found in mountains as part of their training regimens.
- One of the Black Belts from Pokémon Masters mentioned that when he was working as a security guard of a souvenir shop in Mahogany Town, he got blasted by Hyper Beam from a power opponent's Dragonite, so he has a phobia towards Hyper Beam and Dragon-types afterwards.
- He might be the same person Lance, who wanted to check the hidden Team Rocket hideout in the shop, has blasted.
- Several incarnations of the Black Belt resemble the Street Fighter character Ryu.
