This article is about the Trainer class. For other uses, see Pokémon Ranger.

A Pokémon Ranger (written as "PKMN Ranger" in-game; Japanese: ポケモンレンジャー Pokémon Ranger) is a class of Trainer that debuted in the Generation III games. They come in male and female variations, dress in sturdy orange and black clothing, and carry a length of rope.

Unlike the Rangers of Fiore, Almia and Oblivia, Rangers in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova collect and train Pokémon just like other regular Pokémon Trainers. However, they are still primarily concerned with protecting wild Pokémon, keeping the environment safe, and making sure travelers do not get injured or lost when walking through the wilderness, as they mention in their battle dialogue.

They specialize in Grass-type Pokémon in Generation III. In Generation IV and V they use a variety of powerful Pokémon, similar to Ace Trainers.

In Pokémon Black and White, they give out Berries when defeated, unless if they are encountered in the Big Stadium or Small Court.

Pokémon

Zebstrika
Debut PBW03

A Pokémon Ranger's Zebstrika was first seen in a battle against Monta's Snivy and Emolga with Swanna. Emolga goes in with an Electro Ball attack on Swanna but suddenly the attack misses and Zebstrika is hit instead. The ranger explains that Zebstrika's Lightningrod Ability pulls electric attacks towards it instead. Excadrill uses Dig near it but the Ranger takes no notice, he reveals that Zebstrika is strong enough to take Excadrill's Dig. But he underestimates Monta and the Dig hits and faints it with one hit.

Monta explains that using Excadrill's Ability Sand Force which raises its attacks and doubles the power of the Dig it was able to defeat it.

None of its moves are known, but its Ability is Lightningrod.

Swanna
Debut PBW03

A Pokémon Ranger's Swanna was first seen in a battle against Monta's Snivy and Emolga with Zebstrika. Emolga goes in with an Electro Ball attack on Swanna but suddenly the attack misses and Zebstrika is hit instead. The ranger explains that Zebstrika's Lightningrod Ability pulls electric attacks towards it instead. It goes in for an Aerial Ace which hits Snivy and does loads of damage. It then attacks Emolga with a BubbleBeam which does some damage. It is later defeated by Emolga's ThunderShock giving Monta the win.

Swanna's known moves are Aerial Ace and BubbleBeam.
