An Artist (Japanese: げいじゅつか Artist) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation IV games, and are depicted as old men wearing berets and carrying art supplies. They are similar to the Painter class from Generation III.

In Generation IV they use Pokémon that can learn Copycat and Mimic, such as Bonsly and Mime Jr., as well as Pokémon related to the arts, such as Kricketune and Smeargle. In Generation V they have no particular specialty.
