A Hiker (Japanese: やまおとこ Mountaineer) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They appear as large, 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.

A Hiker in the original series
Hikers in the Sun & Moon series

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 SM095, 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.

In the Black & White arc

Another Hiker named Andy makes an appearance in Black's First Trainer Battle where he accepts a challenge from beginning Trainer Black. They have a Triple Battle but due to the heat emitted from Black's Tep, Andy gets overheated and runs away to cool himself down with water. 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. Black tells Andy that it was his Cottonee that caused the fire because it was trying to help its Trainer by attempting to get over its weakness to Fire-type moves. Feeling happy over what his Pokémon would do for him, Andy is convinced by Black to start his dream once again.

Andy later appears at the Pokémon League alongside several other Trainers to help battle Team Plasma.
