A Linebacker (Japanese: フットボーラー Footballer) is a type of Trainer class introduced in Generation V. They are players of Gridiron football. They mostly utilize Fighting-type Pokémon.

All Linebackers are found in Big Stadium.

In a real game of American football, a Linebacker would never use a 3-point stance and no player would use a closed fist. Using a closed fist during the game, could potentially disqualify you from participating.
