Backpackers use many different types of Pokémon. In {{2v2|Black|White}}, they will always have just one Pokémon in their party unless they are involved in a [[Triple Battle]], [[Rotation Battle]], or the [[Battle Subway]]. They often use more than one Pokémon in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. Some will give out {{DL|Repel|Max Repel}}s when defeated.
