ABattle Girl (Japanese:バトルガールBattle Girl) is a type ofPokémon Trainer that debuted in theGeneration III games. They are generally depicted as young girls or young women, dressed in midriff-baring crop tops and shorts, traditionalKung Fu uniforms inBlack and White, or blue karate gis inX and Y, and striking a fighting pose.

Gyms andbattle facilities aside, they useFighting-typePokémon exclusively. In theBattle Subway, they specialize inFighting-,Fire-, andSteel-type Pokémon. In theBattle Maison, they specialize in Fighting-, Fire-, andRock-type Pokémon.

The characterShauna from the episodesA Meditite Fight! andJust One of the Geysers is based on this class.

In general, their male counterparts appear to beBlack Belts. InPokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, a nearly identical sort of Trainer calledCrush Girl (Japanese:かくとうむすめFighting Girl) appeared.

Computer technicianBebe uses the Battle Girl's sprite, which seems to have inspired her design in the TCG.
