A Musician (Japanese: ミュージシャン Musician) is a type of Pokémon Trainer introduced in Generation V. In Unova, they are depicted as young men with long hair and glasses playing an acoustic guitar and resemble Generation IV's Guitarists. In Galar, they are depicted as young men with short hair and sunglasses holding a microphone.

In Generation V, most Pokémon used by Musicians are related to sound and music. In Generation VIII, they specialize in Electric-type Pokémon.

In Double Battles, a Musician paired with a female Dancer are called a Music Crew.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In Wheeling and Dealing, White secured business for her BW Agency by allowing Tep and Gigi to star in a music video alongside a group of four Musicians.

A Musician appeared with his Eelektrik in Unraveling Mysteries.

Another Musician appeared in With a Little Help From My Friends. He was based on the Musician who plays the guitar in Café Sonata and teaches Meloetta Relic Song in the games. He was impressed by Bianca's flute performances that White recorded and sent to him, and invited the two to Café Sonata. By the time White and Bianca arrived, he was being attacked by a wild Vullaby, and his hand was broken as a result of the attack, which left him unable to play the guitar.

Trivia

• In Pokémon Black and White, a Musician's overworld sprite won't turn to face the player if he's talked to from the side or behind.
