A Tower Tycoon (Japanese: タワータイクーン Tower Tycoon) is a Pokémon Trainer who presides over their region's Battle Tower. The Tower Tycoon will battle the challenger of the Tower at set intervals. As of Generation IV, Anabel and Palmer are the only known Tower Tycoons (however, Anabel's title was changed to "Salon Maiden" in localizations).

Trivia

  • Interestingly, though the word "tycoon" is actually derived from the Japanese word 大君 taikun, it is converted into katakana as an English term, much like the names of the other Frontier Brains' Trainer classes, rather than using the hiragana たいくん or its respective katakana, タイクン (without the lengthening chōonpu).
