The '''Pokémon poacher''' was a minor antagonist who appeared in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''.

==In the movies==
[[File:Pokemon poacher younger M04.png|thumb|250px|left|The Pokémon poacher, 40 years younger]]
Forty years prior to the events of ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', the [[Pokémon poacher]] was on the trail of an elusive {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} in the forests near [[Arborville]]. He threw a capture device, but narrowly missed his target as it flew off. The pursuit caught [[Sam]]'s attention and he intervened. Celebi entangled the poacher's {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Scyther}} in vines before [[Time travel|sending itself and Sam forty years into the future]] to escape.

In the present day, the Pokémon poacher had continued to work in the hunter trade. His encounter with Celebi had become legendary and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] decided to pay him a visit to find out more information. The Pokémon poacher denied the veracity of the story, but the Iron-Masked Marauder was not convinced. He subsequently {{pkmn2|caught}} the poacher's {{p|Tyranitar}} in a [[Dark Ball]]. The now-corrupted Tyranitar unleashed a powerful {{m|Hyper Beam}} and destroyed the poacher's base of operations. In response, the poacher agreed to show the Iron-Masked Marauder where he saw Celebi, and the Iron-Masked Marauder went on to successfully capture Celebi.

===Character===
The poacher has a ruthless and selfish personality who likes to sell Pokémon to the highest bidder, which he has done for over forty years. He uses his {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Scyther}} to track down and exhaust the target, while he follows the pursuit on his motorcycle. The poacher keeps his catches out in the open air and trapped in confined cages with metal bars.
