A Juggler (Japanese: ジプシージャグラー Gypsy Juggler in Generations I and II, ジャグラー Juggler in Generations III and IV) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are depicted as slim young men in flashy costumes, juggling Poké Balls.
They specialize in using Mr. Mime, as well as Selfdestructing ball Pokémon like Voltorb, keeping with their circus theme, similar to the Clown class. They are fond of constantly switching out their Pokémon in battle.
A famous Juggler line (upon being defeated), from the Generation II games, was "Oops, dropped my balls!". This statement caused endless snickers in the fandom. This trainer was found on Route 35.
Oddly enough, among the Team Rocket Grunts and Team Rocket scientists in Silph Co. is Juggler Dalton, who attacks the player like any grunt, exclaiming that kids shouldn't be here. He battles the player with a Kadabra and a Mr. Mime.

In the anime
In Round One - Begin!, Ash battled Mandi, a flamboyantly-dressed young man whose title in the Japanese version was that of Juggler.
In the TCG
In the Aquapolis expansion of the TCG, the Juggler character gets its own card.
In other languages
- French: Jongleur
- German: Jongleur
- Italian: Giocoliere
- Korean: 집시저글러 (Gypsy Juggler)
- Spanish: Malabarista
Trivia
- Strangely, in Generation I, there are two identical Juggler classes in the game's code, at hex D5 and DD.
- The HeartGold and SoulSilver sprite for Juggler is an edited FireRed and LeafGreen sprite.
- Juggler is the only trainer class not to retain its original title from Generation II in HeartGold and SoulSilver. That is probably because "Gypsy Juggler" might sound racist to some.
