In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Pokémon Breeders will always pull the player aside for a battle even if he or she has defeated them before when they are passed, unless they are encountered in [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], where they can be rebattled without getting pulled (players have to talk to them instead). All Breeders in Black 2 & White 2 will be reset again when the player leaves the location they are situated in.

A Pokémon Breeder (Japanese: ポケモンブリーダー Pokémon Breeder) is primarily a Pokémon Trainer who raises and mates carefully selected Pokémon to reproduce specific improvements in future generations of Pokémon, such as moves, individual values, or Natures.

In the games

Pokémon Breeders (written as "PKMN Breeder" in-game until Generation VI) first appeared as a Trainer class in Generation III, and they can often be found near Pokémon Day Cares. They raise a large number of varied Pokémon, generally maintaining a balanced team, although they are often weak compared to other Trainers in the area they reside in.

In Pokémon Emerald, there is a stats judge known as the Legendary Top Pokémon Breeder in the Battle Frontier.

Also, a few people playing the games themselves consider themselves Pokémon Breeders, breeding certain Pokémon together to receive maximum opportunity for good Egg Moves, Natures, and IV spread.

In Black 2 and White 2, Pokémon Breeders will always pull the player aside for a battle even if he or she has defeated them before when they are passed, unless they are encountered in Big Stadium and Small Court, where they can be rebattled without getting pulled (players have to talk to them instead). All Breeders in Black 2 & White 2 will be reset again when the player leaves the location they are situated in.

A Pokémon Breeder in the anime

In the Pokémon anime, Pokémon Breeders typically concern themselves with raising Pokémon for health and friendship, rather than for competitive fields like Pokémon Gyms and Pokémon Contests. However, they may participate in grooming competitions such as the Pokémon Beauty Contest.

Aspects that Pokémon Breeders typically also handle or cover include Pokémon grooming and Pokémon nutrition.

A female Pokémon Breeder appeared in The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!.
