A Juggler (Japanese: ジプシージャグラー Gypsy Juggler in Generations I and II, ジャグラー Juggler in Generation III) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are depicted as slim young men in flashy costumes juggling Poké Balls.

They specialize in Mr. Mime, as well as Selfdestructing ball Pokémon like Voltorb, keeping with their circus theme, similar to the Clown class. They are fond of constantly switching out their Pokémon in battle.

A famous Juggler line (upon being defeated), from the Generation II games, was "Oops, dropped my balls!". This statement caused endless snickers in the fandom.

Oddly enough, among the Team Rocket Grunts and Team Rocket scientists in Silph Co. is Juggler Dalton, who attacks the player like any grunt, exclaiming that kids shouldn't be here. He battles the player with a Kadabra and a Mr. Mime. After the battle, he says that it's a long way to his boss, indirectly referring to Giovanni, which hints that Dalton is associated with Team Rocket (though is clearly not a grunt). He is also the only one Team Rocket member, who doesn't belong to Team Rocket or Scientist trainer classes.
