A Bug Catcher (Japanese: むしとりしょうねん Bug Catcher Boy) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. From then, they have appeared in every generation of game so far. They are generally depicted as little boys in hats and carrying nets and what appears to be their lunchboxes, or containers to keep caught bugs in, held by a strap after Generation II. Most Bug Catchers have been considered just hobbyists. Some Bug Catcher move around areas and don't always stay in the the same area daily. Experienced Bug Catchers may become Bug Maniacs.
Bug Catchers are usually one of the first trainer classes encountered during the course of the games' storylines, mostly appearing on earlier routes. In Generation I, Bug Catchers are the first trainer class that the player encounters. They first appear in the Viridian Forest, while the last one is on Route 9. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Bug Catchers appear again on the Sevii Islands, in the Pattern Bush. In Generation II, Bug Catchers appear on Route 30, but they are not the first trainer class seen in the game, and are actually more uncommon in this Generation than any other. In Generation III, there are a few Bug Catchers, appearing between Routes Route 102, through Route 119. The number of Bug Catchers in Generation III surpasses each other generation except the first. In Generation IV, Bug Catchers don't appear until Route 204 after the player defeats the first Gym Leader, unusually late in the game. There are only four Bug Catchers, most of them appearing in the Eterna Forest.

In the anime
- Although no main characters directly based on Bug Catchers have appeared in the anime, Ash and Samurai both own bug catching nets. Samurai is a boy appearing as the character of the day who lives in Viridian Forest and dresses up in samurai armor. Like Bug Catchers, he specializes in Template:Type2 Pokémon and has a bug-catching net. Samurai's sole appearance came in Challenge of the Samurai.
- In The Spheal of Approval, a boy named Marius strongly resembled the Bug Catchers in the game, but did not own any Bug-types.
