A Lass (Japanese: ミニスカート Miniskirt, shortened in Generation I to ミニスカ Miniski) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation I games. They are depicted as average young girls in clothing resembling school uniforms. Lasses appear to be the female counterparts of Youngsters, and they grow up to be Beauties.[1]

They use a variety of Pokémon but tend to use cuter and/or common Pokémon such as Pidgey, Nidoran♀, Zigzagoon, etc. In the Battle Maison of Generation VI, they specialize in Normal- and Fairy-type Pokémon. In the Battle Tower in Generation VIII, they specialize in Grass- and Fairy-type Pokémon.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, Lasses will award three Poké Balls along with prize money upon being defeated, except Gym Trainers and Master Trainers.

In Getting Down to The Ire!, a Lass observed the Manalo Conference alongside a Youngster and a Roggenrola.

Whimsicott is the Lass's only known Pokémon. Alongside Erika's Vileplume and a Beauty's Lotad, it battled Scottie's Pikachu, Brock's Onix, and Rosa's Snivy.

Whimsicott's only known move is Leech Seed.
