A Backpacker (Japanese: バックパッカー Backpacker) is a type of Trainer class introduced in Generation V. They are young men and women who carry large backpacks with them.

Backpackers use many different types of Pokémon. They will always have just one Pokémon in their party unless they are involved in a triple battle, rotation battle, or the Battle Subway. Some will give out Max Repels when defeated.

Trivia

• Even though Backpackers typically only use one Pokémon, their sprites show them with a few Poké Balls attached to their backpacks, apparently for quick access to them.
• According to an NPC, Professor Juniper and her father were once backpackers.
