A Poké Kid (Japanese: ポケモンごっこ Make-believe Pokémon) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation IV games. They are little kids in Pokémon costumes.
In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Poké Kids appear as little girls that are possibly the children of male Poké Fans. Outside of battle they appear to be just an ordinary Pikachu; this is used to mess with the player on multiple occasions, including a Poké Kid hidden amongst several regular Pikachu. They exclusively use Pikachu, and in Platinum, Pichu and Raichu.
In Sword and Shield, male Poké Kids were introduced, who take on the appearance of Pikachu, while girls wear Eevee costumes instead. Unlike before, they don't exclusively use Pikachu.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Diamond & Pearl arc
In Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I, a Poké Kid makes a cameo while the main characters visit Veilstone City. Her friend was supposed to challenge Maylene but she mixed the Poké Kid and her friends with the three main characters, due to the main characters possessing an item that made landing attacks easier she had heard the kids talking about.
Platinum arc
The Poké Kid from above, together with her friends, is seen entering the Battle Frontier in Deprogramming Porygon-Z.
HeartGold & SoulSilver arc
A Poké Kid was seen exploring the Safari Zone Gate with her mother in Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down.
Trivia
- In Platinum, Poké Kid Ariel can be found in these Pokémon Center locations around Sinnoh:
- Sunday, Monday, Thursday: Floaroma Town
- Tuesday, Friday: Solaceon Town
- Wednesday, Saturday: Resort Area
- Poké Kid Ariel says "Pi-Pikachu!" before battle. Ash's Pikachu says the same after many of Ash's various victories (winning a Badge, catching a Pokémon, and so on).
- The Poké Kid bears some resemblance to the concept of Moemon, a hacked game where Pokémon are turned into gijinka.
