A Fisherman or FisherStadGSC (Japanese: つりびと Fisherman) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They usually are middle-aged men with rods, reels, and fishing gear. There is normally a Poké Ball attached to the end of the line. The class was named Fisher in Pokémon Stadium and Generation II, but otherwise is named Fisherman.

In the Japanese version of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, they are depicted smoking, as fishermen smoking is a common stereotype in Japan. The cigarette was removed in international releases.

They specialize in Water-type Pokémon that can be caught via fishing. At least once in every core-series game prior to Pokémon Sun and Moon, there is a Fisherman who will fight the player with a full team made up entirely of Magikarp. In Generation VII, they keep their Pokémon in Lure Balls.
