A Worker (Japanese: はたらくおじさん Working Man in Generation III, さぎょういん Laborer in Generation IV onwards) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation III games, where they appeared in Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. They later appeared in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. Workers can also appear in Johto's Battle Frontier.

They are generally depicted as young-to-middle-aged men with hardhats and tools. They appear to be similar to the Engineer class, but they use different Pokémon. They use Rock-, Fighting-, Steel-, and Ground-type Pokémon. In the Battle Subway and Battle Maison, they specialize in Pokémon benefiting from sandstorm.

In Black and White, some Workers dress in warmer clothing for colder climates, similar to the Ace Trainers that are on Route 217 and in Snowpoint Gym. They are mainly found in Cold Storage; they still use mainly Fighting-type Pokémon, but several also use Ice-type Pokémon. While the Cold Storage is no longer accessible in Black 2 and White 2, bundled-up Workers can still be found in places such as Twist Mountain. In the Battle Subway, these specialize in Ice-type Pokémon.

A group of Workers appeared in Genesect and the Legend Awakened. Their work was interfered by flickering streetlights, caused by Genesect Army's actions at Pokémon Hills. Fortunately, their Ampharos was able to give them light with its tail, allowing the men to continue their work.

Two Workers in Pokémon Adventures

Workers Felix (Japanese: カンキチ Kankichi), Rich (Japanese: リイチ Rīchi), Sterling (Japanese: ギンジ Ginji), Don (Japanese: タモツ Tamotsu), and Heath (Japanese: タイゾウ Taizo) work as miners for Clay. They were first seen in Lights, Camera...Action, where they and Clay unearthed a mysterious stone at the Desert Resort. Later, in Mine Mayhem, Heath was ordered to bring Black to the Driftveil Gym so that he and Clay could have their Gym battle.

Several Workers made an appearance at Route 4 in Sandstorm. They were playing a game of card flip during their break. However, one of the Workers turned out to be a disguised Team Plasma Grunt. The Grunt was exposed and beaten by Grimsley.

A group of Workers, some of them in their winter clothes, was seen in Drawing Bridges amongst the Trainers waiting to get to cross the Driftveil Drawbridge.
