A '''Tower Tycoon''' (Japanese: '''{{j|タワータイクーン}}''' ''Tower Tycoon'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who presides over their region's [[Battle Tower]]. The Tower Tycoon will battle the {{player|challenger}} of the Tower at set intervals. [[Anabel]] and [[Palmer]] are the only known Tower Tycoons.

In the English version of {{game|Emerald}}, the class is called '''Salon Maiden''', used by Anabel.

==Trivia==
* Though the word "{{wp|Business magnate#Etymology|tycoon}}" is actually derived from the Japanese word {{j|{{jwp|征夷大将軍|大君}}}} ''taikun'' (a title for the {{wp|shogun}}), it is converted into {{wp|katakana}} as an English term to match the names of the other Frontier Brains' Trainer classes, rather than using the {{wp|hiragana}} {{j|たいくん}} or its respective katakana {{j|タイクン}} (without the lengthening {{wp|chōonpu}}).
