A '''Pokémon Performer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンパフォーマー''' ''Pokémon Performer'') is a [[Gender|female]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} who raises {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to compete in [[Pokémon Showcase]]s, where they demonstrate their [[Friendship|partnership]] in a number of activities.

==Role==
A Performer's job is to create dance routines and movement sequences for her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and herself, as they have to show the audience how well coordinated they are together through their performance. They also must be able to use their Pokémon's capabilities and skills to their advantage, displaying their [[move]]s and characteristics in an entertaining way. This is similar to how [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s show off their Pokémon in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of a [[Pokémon Contest]], but the key difference is that Performers have to involve themselves in the performances.

As there are different themes used during the first round of a [[Pokémon Showcase]], Performers have to excel in other activities as well, such as baking {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|Poké Puffs}} and dressing up their Pokémon with accessories. They can also use [[PokéVision]] videos as a way to promote themselves for Pokémon Showcases.

Performers who win a Pokémon Showcase are awarded with a {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}}. Once they have collected at least three Princess Keys, one from each class, they can enter the Master Class tournament, where they compete for the title of Kalos Queen. The current Kalos Queen is {{an|Aria}}, who managed to win the Master Class tournament with her {{p|Braixen}}.
