While most of the memorable people in Pokemon are Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, or Rivals, a majority of the game is made up of just plain old Pokemon trainers. They tend to focus on specific types or categories of Pokemon.

So let's take a look at the trainer types you'll encounter the most across all of the Pokemon games! For those wondering how these totals were reached, the numbers represent each in-game trainer across the series with a unique name and/or team of Pokemon under that classification. Let's lock eyes with the most common trainer types in all of Pokemon.

10 Picnicker (120)

Like most of the trainers on this list, Picnickers were introduced in the first generation of Pokemon games, except they were referred to as Jr. Trainer (Female). Making their homes in the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn regions, Picnickers are young girls in scout uniforms that raise a variety of Pokemon found in the route they're on.

What's especially interesting is that their male counterpart, the Camper, has a lot less individual trainers with only 90. Picnickers start this list off strong with 120 unique trainers.

9 Psychic (146)

Next up is the Psychic, but you probably saw that coming. They're often sporting purple or black hair and floating Pokeballs around themselves with glowing auras. Psychics tend to focus on Psychic-type Pokemon, but will sometimes throw in a Ghost-type to catch unassuming players off guard.

Psychics first appeared in Pokemon Red & Blue and stopped appearing in new games (non-remakes) after X & Y. This is probably because GameFreak finally realized that if a person had Psychic abilities, they probably wouldn't be so easy to be defeated by a 10 year old. But they were popular enough during their time to warrant 146 unique trainers.

8 Master Trainer (153)

The only trainer type on this list not introduced in the first generation is the Master Trainer. Master Trainers are a group of post-game trainers in Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee that focus on individual Pokemon. Therefore, there is a trainer for every single Pokemon in the original Kanto Pokedex plus Meltan and Melmetal.

This is a fun concept, but would often result in the same strategy of building up your Pokemon's defenses and teaching it Toxic and Protect. If the Pokemon is a Poison-type, just learn a powerful Ground or Psychic-type move. You can't deny that all 153 Master Trainers look fantastic in their red outfits.

7 Lass and Youngster (169)

Do you prefer shorts or skirts? Either way, you can't go wrong with Lasses or Youngsters. Both represent younger trainers who use a variety of Pokemon found early in the game or just plain old cute ones.

Both trainer types are classics of the series, although the Youngster is more iconic. Whether you're a fan of Joey and his top percentage Rattata or the fact that shorts are comfy and easy to wear, Youngsters are one of the most quoted trainer classes in all of Pokemon. However, Lasses have been on the rise recently, especially in Sword & Shield.

6 Fisher (173)

It's well known that a majority of Pokemon are Water-types, so it only makes sense that Water-type trainers are some of the most plentiful in the games. And the Fisher represents the best and worst that Water-type Pokemon have to offer.

Fisher specifically use Pokemon that can be found while fishing. This means that their teams can range from great to terrible. Yes, one trainer can have Tentacruel and Gyarados, but another will just have five Magikarp. This is what makes the Fisher so interesting. They may be pushovers in the beginning of your journey, but towards the end they can be among the toughest. And you can easily see that amongst all 173 of them.

5 Blackbelt (175)

Have you ever wanted to have a Pokemon battle with Ryu? Well, the closest you can get is by taking on one of the 175 Blackbelts across all the Pokemon games. These Fighting-type aficionados normally wear a karate gi along with a headband, no shoes, and a black belt. Go figure.

Blackbelts are also part of the most duo types, including Crush Kin, Brains and Brawn, Capoeira Couple, and others. Also, they're called Judoboys in Pokemon Stadium. None of these counted towards the total amount of trainers, but it is still pretty interesting.

4 Hiker (184)

Hikers are easily some of the most iconic trainer types in Pokemon. That combination of portly stature, vest, and walking stick has shown up across different mountainous routes and caves. Hikers tend to focus more on Rock, Ground, and Fighting-type Pokemon.

There is just something fun about hikers. They're always incredibly jovial, even if they've lost in battle. Hikers are just happy to be out in the great outdoors with their Pokemon. And they really are everywhere with 184 different Hikers across all of the mainline Pokemon games.

3 Rocket Grunt (194)

Team Rocket easily has the most recognizable grunts in all of Pokemon. While this probably has more to do with the anime, they also happen to appear in the most games out of all the teams. They're introduced in Red, Blue, & Yellow, came back in Gold, Silver, & Crystal, and returned a third time as Rainbow Team Rocket in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Because of this, they have 194 different grunts working for them.

While there are a lot of different grunts across all of the evil teams, no one had the recruiting power of Giovanni and Team Rocket. It seems that money and profit is more important to people than legends or ideals.

2 Swimmer (344)

Remember when I said there were a lot of Water-type trainers? Well, Swimmers dwarf them all with 344 different unique trainers across all of the games. That's almost twice as many as the Fisher! This is in large part because the Swimmer trainer type includes both male and female Swimmers.

The most Swimmers are found in the Hoenn region. Who could see that coming?

1 Ace Trainer (450)

The most common trainer type is also one of the most challenging: the Ace Trainer. Originally referred to as Cool Trainers in the first game, there are 450 different of them across all of the games. Ace Trainers have the same benefit as Swimmers in that male and female trainers are under the same category. They're also the most common trainer type in the Master Trainer subcategory.

Either way, Ace Trainers tend to focus on powerful and evolved Pokemon, with a large amount of them found across the various Victory Roads in the series. Their style is always sporty and combined with an arrogant smirk. They're vicious opponents that can be absolute run-enders for Nuzlockers and speedrunners.
