A Gentleman (Japanese: ジェントルマン Gentleman) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation I games. They are older men in dapper suits.

They generally use Pokémon based on pets - such as Growlithe, Manectric, or Chatot. They also tend to give out large amounts of money for winning. In the Battle Subway, they specialize in Legendary Pokémon.

In Pokémon Stadium, this Trainer class is known as Old Man. In Generation IV, they gain a female counterpart, the Socialite. In Generation VI, the Monsieur class appears to be a Kalos counterpart.

In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon, and Generation VIII, they keep their Pokémon in Luxury Balls.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Gentlemen battled outside of Gyms will award three Poké Balls along with prize money upon being defeated.

A Gentleman in the anime

A Gentleman appeared in Battle Aboard the St. Anne. This Gentleman owned a Raticate that, oddly enough, could use Jump Kick. Ash traded his Butterfree for the Raticate, but during the resistance against Team Rocket's takeover of the St. Anne, he grew a little worried about his Butterfree. Once the takeover was fully thwarted, he and the Gentleman traded back their Pokémon, just before the St. Anne started sinking due to a storm.

A Gentleman appeared in Meowth's fantasy in Imitation Confrontation.

A Gentleman made a brief cameo appearance in Time Warp Heals All Wounds.

A Gentleman appeared in JN033, where he traded away his Farfetch'd for a Spearow.

The Gentleman's Raticate was first seen fighting a young Trainer's Starmie, who was defeated. It was then used in a battle against Ash's Butterfree. The Gentleman, who was in awe over Butterfree's power, traded Raticate to Ash for it. Ash soon started to regret the trade and, as the St. Anne was sinking, traded Raticate back to the Gentleman.

Little is known about the Gentleman's Squirtle as it was seen only very briefly when it teamed up with a bunch of other Squirtle to fight off Team Rocket.

None of Squirtle's moves are known.

Butterfree was originally owned by Ash. It was traded to the Gentleman after a battle between the two Trainers when the Gentleman stated his interest in the Butterfly Pokémon. It teamed up with some other Butterfree with their Stun Spore to get rid of Team Rocket before it was traded back to Ash, who missed it too much.

In Moving Past Milotic, Emerald has his Pokémon healed by a Gentleman in one of the Battle Pike rooms.

In Verily Vanquishing Vileplume I, a Gentleman named Walter (Robert in the Chuang Yi translation) is seen battling Ninja Boy Lao in the Battle Dome. While it is unknown who won, what is known is that Walter at some point lost a match, eliminating him from the tournament.

Another Gentleman appears in Bombastic Bibarel and Heroic Hippopotas where he, along with a Socialite, battles Diamond and Pearl.

Pokémon

Here is a listing of Walter's Pokémon from the Emerald arc:

Oddish

Hippopotas ♂
Gentleman's Hippopotas

Hippopotas is the Gentleman's only known Pokémon. By using a Ground-type move to create a Sandstorm along with Bibarel's Water Gun, they were able to confuse the battlefield. However, it wasn't that long before the Hippo Pokémon gets knocked out by Tru's Wood Hammer.

Hippopotas's only known move is Sand Tomb.
