A Pokémon Ranger (written as "PKMN Ranger" in-game until Generation VI; Japanese: ポケモンレンジャー Pokémon Ranger) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation III games. They come in male and female variations, dress in sturdy orange and black clothing, and carry a length of rope. Two Pokémon Rangers, one male and female, who battle together in Double Battles are called Rangers.

Unlike the Rangers of Fiore, Almia and Oblivia, Rangers in Hoenn, the Sevii Islands, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos collect and train Pokémon just like other regular Pokémon Trainers. However, they are still primarily concerned with protecting wild Pokémon, keeping the environment safe, and making sure travelers do not get injured or lost when walking through the wilderness, as they mention in their battle dialogue.

They specialize in Grass-type Pokémon in Generation III and they often have healing items. In Generation IV onward, they use a variety of powerful Pokémon, similar to Ace Trainers.

In Pokémon Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, they give out Berries when defeated, unless if they are encountered in the Big Stadium or Small Court where they instead give out Max Repels.

In the anime

Elisa, a Pokémon Ranger in the anime

Several Pokémon Rangers appeared in the anime, debuting in the Advanced Generation series. Generally, they are tasked with keeping an eye on an area and looking after the wild Pokémon there. Some of these areas are restricted and have to be protected from poachers.

A Ranger named Katrina appeared in A Bite to Remember. In All in a Day's Wurmple, twin brothers Forrest Franklin and Forrester Franklin referred to themselves as Pokémon Rangers. A Pokémon Ranger by the name of Mr. Morita appeared in True Blue Swablu. A female Ranger named Elisa was seen in Beg, Burrow and Steal.

In the Kanto region, a member of the Wilderness Guard Core named Kerrigan appears in Duels of the Jungle!.

In the Diamond & Pearl series, while referring to herself as a Pokémornithologist, Rosebay acts as a sort of Pokémon Ranger in A Staravia is Born! In Promoting Healthy Tangrowth!, Verona is a female Ranger who watches over the forest near Lake Acuity. In Regaining the Home Advantage!, Crispin guards a mountain where powerful Metagross and Magnezone lived and regularly did battle.

A Pokémon Ranger in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W

A Pokémon Ranger appears in The Battle for More Friends! where he battled Monta. Monta spots him and goes up to him to ask him for a battle which he accepts. He sends out his Zebstrika and Swanna against Monta's newly caught Emolga and Snivy. His Pokémon are very powerful and he has a very good knowledge of Abilities, but he underestimated Monta's Pokémon as they were able to knock out his Pokémon with one hit.

Pokémon

Pokémon Ranger's Zebstrika
Zebstrika
A Pokémon Ranger's Zebstrika was first seen with Swanna in a battle against Monta's Snivy and Emolga. Emolga goes in with an Electro Ball attack on Swanna but suddenly the attack misses and Zebstrika is hit instead. The Ranger explains that Zebstrika's Lightningrod Ability pulls electric attacks towards it instead. Excadrill uses Dig near it but the Ranger takes no notice, revealing that Zebstrika is strong enough to take Excadrill's Dig. However, he underestimates Monta when the Dig hits and knocks it out with one hit.

Monta explains that using Excadrill's Ability Sand Force, which raises its attacks and doubles the power of the Dig, it was able to defeat it.

None of Zebstrika's moves are known, and its Ability is Lightningrod.

Debut The Battle for More Friends!
Pokémon Ranger's Swanna
Swanna
A Pokémon Ranger's Swanna was first seen with Zebstrika in a battle against Monta's Snivy and Emolga. Emolga goes in with an Electro Ball attack on Swanna but suddenly the attack misses and Zebstrika is hit instead. The Ranger explains that Zebstrika's Lightningrod Ability pulls electric attacks towards it instead. It goes in for an Aerial Ace which hits Snivy and does loads of damage. It then attacks Emolga with a BubbleBeam which does some damage. It is later defeated by Emolga's Shock Wave giving Monta the win.

Swanna's known moves are Aerial Ace and BubbleBeam.
