A '''Bug Catcher''' (Japanese: '''むしとりしょうねん''' ''Bug Catcher Boy'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are generally depicted as little boys in hats, carrying nets and what appears to be their lunchboxes, or containers to keep caught bugs in, held by a strap after [[Generation II]]. Most Bug Catchers have been considered just hobbyists. Some Bug Catchers move around areas, and don't always stay in the same place each day. Experienced Bug Catchers may become {{tc|Bug Maniac}}s.

Bug Catchers are usually one of the first Trainer classes encountered during the course of the games' storylines, mostly appearing on earlier [[route]]s. In [[Generation I]], Bug Catchers are the first Trainer class that the player encounters. They first appear in [[Viridian Forest]], while the last one is on {{rt|9|Kanto}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Bug Catchers appear again on the [[Sevii Islands]], in the [[Pattern Bush]]. In [[Generation II]], Bug Catchers appear on {{rt|30|Johto}}, but they are not the first Trainer class seen in the game, and are actually more uncommon in this Generation than any other in which they appear. In [[Generation III]], there are a few Bug Catchers, appearing between {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}. The number of Bug Catchers in Generation III surpasses each other generation except the first. In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Bug Catchers don't appear until {{rt|204|Sinnoh}}, after the player defeats the first Gym Leader, which is unusually late in the game. There are only four Bug Catchers, most of them appearing in the [[Eterna Forest]]. There are no Bug Catchers in the [[Unova]], [[Kalos]] and [[Alola]] regions.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Bug Catchers will award three {{i|Poké Ball}}s along with [[prize money]] upon being defeated, except for [[Master Trainer]]s.


In Pokémon Stadium, they are referred to as '''Bug Boys'''.

A Bug Catcher (Japanese: むしとりしょうねん Bug Catcher Boy) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation I games. They are generally depicted as little boys in hats, carrying nets and what appears to be their lunchboxes, or containers to keep caught bugs in, held by a strap after Generation II. Most Bug Catchers have been considered just hobbyists. Some Bug Catchers move around areas, and don't always stay in the same place each day. Experienced Bug Catchers may become Bug Maniacs.

Bug Catchers are usually one of the first Trainer classes encountered during the course of the games' storylines, mostly appearing on earlier routes.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Bug Catchers will award three Poké Balls along with prize money upon being defeated, except for Master Trainers.

In Pokémon Stadium, they are referred to as Bug Boys.
