Pokémon the Series

The concept of Pokémon Breeders was first introduced inShowdown in Pewter City, twogenerations before the Trainer class was introduced in thegames. InPokémon the Series, Pokémon Breeders typically concern themselves withraising Pokémon for health andfriendship, rather than for competitive fields likeGyms andPokémon Contests. However, they may participate in grooming competitions such as thePokémon Beauty Contest.
Aspects that Pokémon Breeders typically also handle or cover includePokémon grooming andPokémon nutrition.
Breeders hatch, care for, and raisefirst partner Pokémon at secret breeding grounds as part of thePokémon League's system to distribute them to new Pokémon Trainers, as noted inA Mudkip Mission.
A female Pokémon Breeder appeared inThe Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!.
