Team Plasma (Trainer class)
Team Plasma is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation V games. This class is comprised of all the members of Team Plasma which battle the player, namely the Grunts, Ghetsis, and their leader N in his final three battles with the player.
Many of the Grunts use Patrat, Sandile, Scraggy, Purrloin, Trubbish, and their respective evolutions while N, who believes that Pokémon should not be used as tools, utilizes a diverse team of Pokémon found in the vicinity of the battlefield. Ghetsis seems to prefer extremely powerful Pokémon when he battles the player.
