A Guitarist (Japanese: ギタリスト Guitarist) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in Generation II games. They appear as young, blond men or black haired women, playing guitars.

They specialize in Electric-type Pokémon, as they play electric guitars. They may also use Pokémon associated with sound waves such as the Whismur evolutionary line in Generation III, and in Generation IV, Zubat^DP or the Kricketot family^Pt due to its relation with music. They may have some relation to the Rocker class introduced in Generation I, and the Musician class introduced in Generation V.

Guitarist Roo in the anime

May battled against Jeremy, who seems to be based on the Guitarist class in Weekend Warrior. However, he owned a Venusaur and a Butterfree, which are not Electric-type like the Guitarists use in the games. However, Butterfree are capable of using sound waves in the games, possibly referencing the Trainer class.

In Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 1) and Rocking the Virbank Gym! (Part 2), Guitarist named Roo appeared as a guitarist of Roxie's rock band "The Koffing".
