A '''Master Trainer''' (Japanese: '''マスタートレーナー''' ''Master Trainer'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] introduced in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. They are 153 Trainers who each specialize in a different species of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from [[Generation I]] (as well as {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}) who can be encountered in various locations around [[Kanto]] after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. Master Trainers wear red clothing and have the icon of their favorite Pokémon in a bubble above their heads.

When the {{player}} battles a Master Trainer, they can only use one Pokémon of the same species as the Master Trainer's favorite and neither party can use [[item]]s other than their [[Key Stone]] and [[Mega Stone]]s in battle. Master Trainers do not give out [[prize money]] when defeated, nor do players [[black out]] or lose money if they lose. Upon defeating one, their title can be used by the player in Link Battles. The {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] and {{p|Ditto}} Masters do not battle the player. While the Master Trainers do not use [[regional variant|Alolan Pokémon]] or [[Mega Evolution]], the player is permitted to use them when challenging their respective Master Trainers. If the player loses to a Master Trainer, they can simply speak to the Master Trainer again to immediately re-battle.

Defeating at least six Master Trainers allows the player to battle {{ga|Red}} outside the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], who will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] after being defeated. Earning every Master Trainer title earns the player the title of {{tc|Grand Master}}. Note that the Master Trainers of {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Meltan}}, and {{p|Melmetal}} do not {{pkmn|battle}} the player. Instead, they will grant the player their title upon showing them a Pokémon of their respective specialty with a high enough {{stat|CP}}. These Trainers all share their appearance with Master {{tc|Scientist}}s.
