A Hiker (Japanese: やまおとこ Mountaineer) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation I games. They appear as large, typically bearded men carrying a walking stick and wearing hiking gear. In the following generations, they also carry a large backpack.
They specialize in a combination of Fighting-, Ground-, and Rock-type Pokémon that are common in mountains and caves, such as Onix, Machop, and Geodude, although not all of them exclusively train those types.
In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, aside from Master Trainers, Hikers will award three Poké Balls along with prize money upon being defeated.

Ash battled a Hiker in Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden. Bulbasaur was able to defeat the Hiker's Rhyhorn, but took such a heavy hit in the battle that it needed to be rushed to a Pokémon Center afterwards. The same Hiker later made a cameo appearance in The Rivals.
Another Hiker appeared in You're a Star, Larvitar!, being one of the Trainers who had their Pokémon temporarily stolen by Team Rocket in the episode.
A trio of Hikers appeared in A Crowning Moment of Truth!. One of them had his Magmar beaten by an Alolan Marowak, then again for a second time, causing them to take it to a Pokémon Center. At the end of the episode, they kept photobombing the pictures that the Rotom Pokédex was trying to take of the group. They reappeared in Sparking Confusion!, where they re-encountered Ash and his classmates while they were investigating unusual activity detected at Wela Volcano Park as the Ultra Guardians. In the end, they agreed to patrol the park and caught an Alolan Golem that had gotten attached to them. They reappeared in Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!, where they once again photobombed Rotom's attempts to photograph Ash, his classmates, Misty, and Brock. Although he was not seen, promotional material revealed that at least one of the three Hikers participated in the Battle Royal preliminary round of the Manalo Conference during Battle Royal 151!, but was ultimately defeated.
A Galarian Hiker appeared in A One-Stick Wonder!, supplying Ash and Goh with curry ingredients while they were camping out in the Wild Area.

When Andy comes back, he becomes disheartened upon finding his Pokémon already defeated by Black. Disappointed, he decides that he should quit being a Trainer, a decision that Black is shocked to hear. Andy reveals to Black that when he was younger he wanted to challenge the Pokémon League but due to his weakness to heat, he kept losing battles and eventually decided to quit being a Trainer altogether.
The leftover flames from the battle caused the whole field to catch ablaze. With Andy's help, Black is able to put all of the flames out.
