ASailor (Japanese:ふなのりSailor) is a type ofPokémon Trainer that debuted in theGeneration Igames. Originally they were often depicted as burly men in sailor suits flexing their muscles, though their actual physical shape varies between games. The sailor is one of two minor trainer classes, the other beingGuitarist, whose design features a visible tattoo. TheGeneration I sprites have an anchor tattoo and thePokémon XD model has “FeeL GooD” tattooed across the knuckles reminiscent of "Hold Fast" tattoos. InPokémon Diamond, Pearl, andPlatinum as well as inBrilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, a sailor namedEldritch plays a minor part in the game's storyline.

They usually specialize inWater-type Pokémon, with the exception of usingRaticate and theMachop evolutionary line.

InLet's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Sailors battled outside ofGyms will award threePoké Balls along withprize money upon being defeated.
