A '''Channeler''' (Japanese: '''きとうし''' ''Shaman'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are generally depicted as Shinto priestesses. They scared out people from [[Pokémon Tower]] and were possibly unwittingly helping [[Team Rocket]] make their base in the tower. Their strange behavior when challenging the player and reactions after being defeated seem to imply they were possessed by the ghosts they used while battling. In fact, some Channelers apologize, saying "I was possessed!" when talked to after battle.

A '''Channeler''' (Japanese: '''きとうし''' ''Shaman'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that have only appeared in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|their|s}} [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|remakes]]. They are generally depicted as {{wp|Shinto}} priestesses. They scared people away from [[Pokémon Tower]] and were possibly unwittingly helping [[Team Rocket]] make their base in the tower. Their strange behavior when challenging the {{player}}, and their subsequent reaction after being defeated, seems to imply that they were possessed by the ghosts they used while [[Pokémon battle|battling]]. In fact, some Channelers apologize after battle, saying, "I was possessed!" when spoken to.


They specialize in {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon. However, since they only appear in the [[Pokémon Tower]], this restricts them to training {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}} as they are the only obtainable {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon in Kanto (excluding {{p|Gengar}} which is only available via trade).
They specialize in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, specifically {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}.


In [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and Generation II, they're known as Mediums.
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Channelers battled outside of [[Gym]]s will award three {{i|Poké Ball}}s along with [[prize money]].  


==Appearance==
In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, they are known as '''Mediums''', which may lead to a confusion with {{tc|Medium|a similar Trainer class}} introduced [[Generation II|later]]. They wear white robes and carry {{wp|Gohei}} to help channel spirits.

==In the TCG==
[[File:ChannelerUnifiedMinds232.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Channeler]]
{{main|Channeler (Unified Minds 190)}}
'''Channeler''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese SM Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Miracle Twin}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Unified Minds}} expansion, with artwork by [[TOKIYA]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in the same Japanese and English expansion, with artwork by the same artist. It allows the player to remove additional effects of attacks on their Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* In the {{DL|Pokémon Red and Green beta|Unused Trainer Parties|internal data for Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue}}, many Channeler Trainers go unused. All but one of them have a {{p|Gastly}}.
* In [[Generation I]], a Channeler in the [[Pokémon Tower]] says ''"Give... me... your... soul..."'' This line was changed in the [[remake]]s.
