A Scientist (Japanese: はぐれけんきゅういん Researcher Gone Astray in Generations I and II and HGSS, けんきゅういん Researcher in Generation III and DPPt) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are men in lab coats and glasses, with the ones in FireRed and LeafGreen as well as HeartGold and SoulSilver holding beakers as well. They are often (but not always) aligned with Team Rocket, as shown in Generations I, II, III and IV, and with Team Galactic, as shown in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

They generally use inorganic or artificial Pokémon such as Porygon, Muk, and Voltorb.

In Pokémon Stadium, Scientists are known as Lab Men. In the English version of Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Scientists are known as Researchers, while Scientists working for Cipher are called Cipher R&D in XD.
