A Channeler (Japanese: きとうし Kitōshi) is a type of Pokémon trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are generally depicted as old Shinto priestesses. They scared out people from Pokémon Tower and were possibly unwittingly helping Team Rocket making their base in the tower. Their strange behavior when challenging the player and reactions after being defeated seem to imply they were possessed by the ghosts they used while battling. In fact, some Channelers apologize, saying "I was possessed!" when talked to after battle.

They specialize in weak Ghost-type Pokémon.

In Pokémon Stadium, they're known as Mediums. Also, in Generation II there is a Trainer Class with similar appearance named Medium. However, it's a different class.
