A Backpacker (Japanese: バックパッカー Backpacker) is a type of Trainer class introduced in Generation V. They are young men and women who carry large backpacks.

In Generation V, some Backpackers give out Max Repels when defeated. A large number of Backpackers can be found in Nacrene City.

In Generation VI, only male Backpackers are present. They appear to be a younger version of a Hiker. Outside the Battle Maison, most of them only use Normal-type Pokémon.

In Generation VII, there are only female Backpackers, whose design is similar to the one in Generation V. At the Battle Royal Dome, Backpackers specialize in Rock- and Ground-type Pokémon. At the Battle Tree, Backpackers exclusively use Legendary Pokémon during later battles.
