==In the games==
Pokémon Breeders appeared as a [[List of trainer classes|trainer class]] in [[Generation III]], and can often be found near [[Pokémon Daycare]]s. They raise a large number of varied Pokémon, generally maintaining a balanced team, although they are often weak compared to other trainers in the area they reside in.
Pokémon Breeders (written as "{{PK}}{{MN}} Breeder" in-game until [[Generation VI]]) first appeared as a [[Trainer class]] in [[Generation III]], and they can often be found near [[Pokémon Day Care]]s. They raise a large number of varied Pokémon, generally maintaining a balanced team, although they are often weak compared to other Trainers in the area they reside in.


In [[Pokémon Emerald]], there is also a [[Legendary Top Pokémon Breeder]] in the [[Battle Frontier]].
In {{game|Emerald}}, there is a [[stats judge]] known as the [[Stats judge#In Generation III|Legendary Top Pokémon Breeder]] in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.


==Appearance==
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Pokémon Breeders will always pull the player aside for a battle even if he or she has defeated them before when they are passed, unless they are encountered in [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], where they can be battled again without getting pulled (players have to talk to them instead). All Breeders in Black 2 and White 2 will be reset again when the player leaves the location they are situated in.

====Artwork====
Pokémon breeders typically concern themselves with raising Pokémon for health and [[happiness]], rather than for [[Pokémon battles]]. They also participate in beauty contests and related competitions - not to be confused with [[Pokémon Contests]], though it is not uncommon for them to take interest in these as well.

A Pokémon Breeder (Japanese: ポケモンブリーダー Pokémon Breeder) is primarily a Pokémon Trainer who raises and mates carefully selected Pokémon to reproduce specific improvements in future generations of Pokémon, such as moves, individual values, or Natures.

In the games

Pokémon Breeders (written as "PKMN Breeder" in-game until Generation VI) first appeared as a Trainer class in Generation III, and they can often be found near Pokémon Day Cares. They raise a large number of varied Pokémon, generally maintaining a balanced team, although they are often weak compared to other Trainers in the area they reside in.

In Pokémon Emerald, there is a stats judge known as the Legendary Top Pokémon Breeder in the Battle Frontier.

In Black 2 and White 2, Pokémon Breeders will always pull the player aside for a battle even if he or she has defeated them before when they are passed, unless they are encountered in Big Stadium and Small Court, where they can be battled again without getting pulled (players have to talk to them instead). All Breeders in Black 2 and White 2 will be reset again when the player leaves the location they are situated in.

In Generation VII, Pokémon Breeders keep their Pokémon in Friend Balls.
