An Ace Trainer (Japanese: エリートトレーナー Elite Trainer) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are depicted as teens or young adults, and can be male or female. The title Ace Trainer is used in Generation IV and onward only; prior to this the Trainer Class was known as Cooltrainer.

They are Trainers who frequently travel around the world to meet new Trainers and take part in Pokémon League competitions. In Generation I, the Cooltrainers are shown carrying whips (which were also used by Team Rocket Grunts of the time). In Generation II onward, they no longer carry whips. They tend to have strange hair colors, like blue, green and purple.

They generally use strong and evolved Pokémon, have a diversified and balanced party, and their artificial intelligence is generally very good compared to other Trainer types in their games. They often have healing items like Gym Leaders and use type advantages to their advantage. They are usually seen during the mid to last part of the game in Victory Road, as they are presumably on their way to challenge the Elite Four. In the Battle Subway, some of them employ a set strategy revolving around the Ability Intimidate.

When paired together in Double Battles, they are called Double Teams (Ace Trainers) or Cool Couples (Cooltrainers).

In the Generation IV games taking place in Sinnoh, Ace Trainers have two sets of sprites, with one set of Ace Trainers dressed warmly for the blizzards near Snowpoint City.

In Black and White, some will give out PP Ups when defeated.
