A '''Tuber''' (Japanese: '''うきわボーイ''' ''Inner Tube Boy'' and '''うきわガール''' ''Inner Tube Girl'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that debuted in the [[Generation III]] games. They are young children in inner tubes that are learning to swim. They come in male and female versions. They appear to be younger versions of {{tc|Swimmer}}s. The [[prize money]] for defeating them is generally low.


A '''Tuber''' (Japanese: '''うきわボーイ''' ''Inner Tube Boy'' and '''うきわガール''' ''Inner Tube Girl'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation III]] games. They are young children in inner tubes that are learning to swim. They come in male and female versions. They appear to be younger versions of {{tc|Swimmer}}s. The [[payout]] for defeating them is generally low.
When male Tubers are paired with female Swimmers in [[Double Battle]]s, they are called {{tc|Sis & Bro}}s.


They generally use a combination of {{type2|Water}} and {{type2|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}—particularly {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, and their related forms.

*In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are no male Tubers, and the male version of the Trainer class is not even programmed into the games, despite there being a {{tc|Sis and Bro}} (which is comprised of a female {{tc|Swimmer}} and male Tuber). The image to the right is taken from the Sis and Bro sprite from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. It is possible that a ''true'' male Tuber class would have used different colors, as the male Tuber in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald uses a different color palette than the female Swimmer, requiring them to be changed for the Sis and Bro class.
*In the [[Generation IV]] [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Frontier]], male Tubers use the [[Ninja Boy]] overworld sprite, while female Tubers use the [[Twins]] overworld sprite.

A Tuber (Japanese: うきわボーイ Inner Tube Boy and うきわガール Inner Tube Girl) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation III games. They are young children in inner tubes that are learning to swim. They come in male and female versions. They appear to be younger versions of Swimmers. The prize money for defeating them is generally low.

When male Tubers are paired with female Swimmers in Double Battles, they are called Sis & Bros.

They generally use a combination of Water-type and Normal-type Pokémon—particularly Marill, Zigzagoon, and their related forms.
