An '''Office Worker''' (Japanese: '''ビジネスマン''' ''Businessman'' and '''OL''' ''Office Lady'') is a type of {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} introduced in [[Generation V]] as '''Clerks'''. They are based on Japanese {{wp|Salaryman|salarymen}} and {{wp|Office lady|office ladies}}.


A '''Clerk''' (Japanese: '''ビジネスマン''' ''Businessman'' and '''OL''' ''Office Lady'') is a type of [[Trainer class]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. They are based on Japanese {{wp|Salaryman|salarymen}} and {{wp|Office lady|office ladies}}.
In [[Generation V]], there are two versions of the male Clerk: one more prominent and common (aka the average employee), while the other is more rare, generally portrayed as the one in charge of the others. Female Clerks are denoted as '''Clerk ♀''', while both male Clerks are '''Clerk ♂'''.


==Appearance==
In [[Generation VII]], female Office Workers share their appearance with {{tc|Teacher}}s, {{tc|Actor}}s, and {{tc|Reporter}}s.
===Male===
 
There are two distinct sprites for the Clerk ♂. One appears to be a regular employee, while the other appears to be a boss.
A female Office Worker and a female {{tc|Preschooler}} can team up to form a {{tc|Dancing Family}} and challenge the {{player}} to a [[Double Battle]]. One male and one female Office Worker can also tag together to create a {{cat|Double Battle Trainer classes|Double Battle Trainer class}} known as {{tc|Colleagues}}.

An Office Worker (Japanese: ビジネスマン Businessman and OL Office Lady) is a type of Trainer class introduced in Generation V as Clerks. They are based on Japanese salarymen and office ladies.

In Generation V, there are two versions of the male Clerk: one more prominent and common (aka the average employee), while the other is more rare, generally portrayed as the one in charge of the others. Female Clerks are denoted as Clerk ♀, while both male Clerks are Clerk ♂.

In Generation VII, female Office Workers share their appearance with Teachers, Actors, and Reporters.

A female Office Worker and a female Preschooler can team up to form a Dancing Family and challenge the player to a Double Battle. One male and one female Office Worker can also tag together to create a Double Battle Trainer class known as Colleagues.
