The Doctor Trainer class was introduced in [[Generation V]]. Battling them is optional; they do not challenge the Trainer upon sight, but instead when spoken to. Doctors will challenge the player on sight in the [[Black Tower]], where they will heal the Trainer's party only once, but the player may choose when. Upon being defeated, the Doctor will heal the Trainer's party fully, and any time spoken to afterwards, unless they are battled in [[Big Stadium and Small Court|Big Stadium or Small Court]]. Some will give out [[Max Revive]]s when defeated. They are the male counterparts of {{tc|Nurse}}s.

In the [[Plasma Frigate]], much like [[Juggler]] Dalton of [[Silph Co.]] before him, Doctor Julius is an odd one out as he is the only assumed member of [[Team Plasma]] that is not a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|Grunt}}. It is likely possible that he was coaxed by Team Plasma's goals under their leader [[N]] and not [[Ghetsis]] because he states that he hopes no more Pokémon will get hurt after Team Plasma rules the world. Despite his allegiance, he will still heal the player's Pokémon. He will not appear when the player visits the Plasma Frigate in the post-game when it is docked at the [[P2 Laboratory]], however.

A Doctor (Japanese: ドクター Doctor) is a Pokémon Trainer who specializes in healing and taking care of injured and sick Pokémon.

In the games

The Doctor Trainer class was introduced in Generation V. Battling them is optional; they do not challenge the Trainer upon sight, but instead when spoken to. Doctors will challenge the player on sight in the Black Tower, where they will heal the Trainer's party only once, but the player may choose when. Upon being defeated, the Doctor will heal the Trainer's party fully, and any time spoken to afterwards, unless they are battled in Big Stadium or Small Court. Some will give out Max Revives or Full Restores when defeated. They are the male counterparts of Nurses.

They use Psychic- and Bug-type Pokémon, as well as Pokémon considered to be healers, such as Audino. Doctors will use Full Heals during battle if their Pokémon are afflicted with status conditions. Doctors appear primarily in locations without a nearby Pokémon Center, such as the Desert Resort.

In the Plasma Frigate, much like Juggler Dalton of Silph Co. before him, Doctor Julius is an odd one out as he is the only assumed member of Team Plasma that is not a Grunt. Despite his allegiance, he will still heal the player's Pokémon. He will not appear when the player visits the Plasma Frigate in the post-game when it is docked at the P2 Laboratory, however.

Unlike their real world counterparts, Pokémon Doctors seem not to be preferred over Nurse Joy and the healing capabilities of Pokémon Centers, with all the doctors in the anime having operated on their own or in small offices away from Pokémon Centers. Doctors have a wide range of knowledge, being able to treat many symptoms and knowing what types of Berries and other healing items to use. Some doctors are also experts with evolution.

In Gonna Rule The School!, a Pokémon Doctor's class was taught at the Pokémon Trainer's School in Rustboro City.

Notable Pokémon Doctors include Dr. Abby, Dr. Moss, Dr. White, and Dr. Proctor (temporarily). Brock is also training to become a Doctor.

Notably, Pokémon Doctors have been present in the anime long before the Trainer class was first introduced in the games.

Doctor Logan in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Daisy Oak became a famous Pokémon Doctor, even attending other regions, as revealed in Tackling Togekiss. Her work includes studies over the Pokérus and its infection.

In the Black & White arc, Doctor Logan appears as a recurring character. He is Brycen's doctor from when the Gym Leader used to star in movies. Logan was called in by Brycen to help heal Black's injuries during Black's training to get stronger so that he could control the Light Stone. Once the training had finished, Logan watches Black and Brycen's Gym battle alongside Iris.

At the Pokémon League, Logan teams up with several other Trainers Black met on his journey. Together, they face the Seven Sages in battle to rescue the kidnapped Gym Leaders. Eventually they succeed and proceed to help defeat the Team Plasma Grunts attacking the League.
