Biker (Trainer class)

A Biker (Japanese: ぼうそうぞく Wild-riding Gang) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are generally depicted as rough men wearing jackets with wild hairstyles riding motorcycles. Furthermore, they are also oftentimes spotted with Roughnecks. Pokémon Red and Blue's sprite is nearly identical to Pokémon Gold and Silver's sprite. Coincidentally, the sprites of Bikers in HeartGold and SoulSilver are similar to the sprites of the Roughnecks in FireRed and LeafGreen. The bikes shown in the HeartGold and SoulSilver sprites have a part that looks very similar to the horn of a male Heracross.

They specialize in Poison and Fire-type Pokémon and are sometimes depicted as being affiliated with Team Rocket.

In the anime

Chopper on his Zapdos bike

A bunch of bikers appeared in The Bridge Bike Gang, as the title gang. Notable members include Chopper and Tyra. The gang stopped Ash and his friends from crossing the bridge, but after a battle, Ash told them he was trying to save a sick Pokémon, so the bike gang let them go. Jessie and James were also members of this biker gang before joining Team Rocket.

In the manga

In PS275, a group of bikers appeared on Three Island. There, they decided on taking all of the berries from the nearby Berry Forest, then they would destroy the town. On the way to the forest, they nearly ran over a young girl. The boss of the gang then threatened the girl. Overhearing this, the legendary Deoxys attacked the bikers. They were all battered and bruised, but the leader got away and begged for help from a man, only to be smacked away and buried under his Nidoking and Nidoqueen's Rock Tomb attacks when he tried to retaliate using a Magmar.
