A Firebreather (Japanese: ひふきやろう Fire-breathing Guy) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation II games. In Generation II they were generally depicted as fat clowns spewing out flames, while HeartGold and SoulSilver redesigned them as fat fire-breathing men wearing clothing designed after Magmar.

They specialize in Fire-type Pokémon. They may, however, use Poison-type Pokémon that produce smoke, like Koffing and Weezing, as well.

In the anime

Infernando

Infernando, who appeared in A Ghost of a Chance!, is based on the Firebreather Trainer class as it appeared in Generation II.

Trivia

• Between Generations II and IV, one Firebreather got a name change from "Dick" to "Richard," likely due to the stigma the name Dick (a diminutive of the name Richard) carries as a word in and of itself.
