"Looker" (Japanese: ハンサム Handsome) is the codename for a character introduced in Pokémon Platinum. He was first announced in an issue of CoroCoro as an international police officer on assignment investigating Team Galactic and its plans.

In the games

The player first meets Looker.

In Pokémon Platinum, Looker is an important character, encountering the player multiple times over their journey across Sinnoh. He is apparently not a native speaker of the national language. He first meets the player in Jubilife City, giving them the Vs. Recorder, and appears often when Team Galactic is near. His motives are clear: his mission is to stop Team Galactic from causing havoc in the Sinnoh region.

When Cyrus retreats into the Distortion World, Looker shifts his investigation towards Pluto, who has taken control of the team. He is not seen again after the player defeats the Elite Four, when he or she journeys to Stark Mountain. Here he is seen in the final stages of his investigation, arresting Pluto and ending Team Galactic's reign of terror once and for all.

After this, Looker can be found in the Veilstone Game Corner.

Disguises

Looker is shown to be quite good at disguising himself. His prime disguise is that of a Team Galactic grunt. At Stark Mountain, before he apprehends Pluto, he disguises himself as his Croagunk.

Pokémon

Although he does not battle with or against the player at all during the entirety of the game, it is known that he has a Croagunk.
