They are generally depicted as young-to-middle-aged men with hardhats and tools, with female Workers debuting in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}} as tall blond women. They appear to be similar to the {{tc|Engineer}} class, but they use different Pokémon. They use {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Steel}}-, and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon. In the [[Battle Subway]] and [[Battle Maison]], they specialize in Pokémon benefiting from {{weather|sandstorm}}.

====History====

In ''[[PS341|Putting a Crimp in Kricketot]]'', a Worker in [[Oreburgh City]] is seen loudly scolding his Psyduck, [[nickname]]d "Yeller" (Japanese: '''きいろ''' ''Yellow''), for playing with the controls of a bulldozer. Psyduck had caused the machine to roll down the hill, putting {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} in danger. The Worker apologizes to them, and Platinum asks him for a tour of the [[Oreburgh Mine]] as repayment, hoping to dig for coals. Diamond and Pearl initially let her go by herself with the Worker. However, they go after her as soon as [[Chatler]] tells the location of the mine to the boys by repeating the Worker's voice. After [[Platinum's Piplup]] defeats a swarm of {{p|Kricketune}}, the Worker mentions that [[Roark]] envisioned the mine as a place to dig for coal, and for training Pokémon as well. Piplup's pride is hurt because she has not participated in the past few battles together with Diamond and Pearl's Pokémon, so the Worker suggests Platinum to go challenge the [[Oreburgh Gym]] to help Piplup regain her confidence. In ''[[PS374|Brash Bronzong I]]'', the Worker who owns a Psyduck is seen again. He and Roark talk about [[Byron]] investigating [[Team Galactic]] in [[Canalave City]].

Several Workers made an appearance at {{rt|4|Unova}} in ''[[PS481|Sandstorm]]''. They were playing a game of [[card flip]] during their break. However, one of the Workers turned out to be a disguised {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}. The Grunt was exposed and beaten by [[Grimsley]].

A group of Workers, some of them in their winter clothes, was seen in ''[[PS489|Drawing Bridges]]'' amongst the Trainers waiting to get to cross the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]].

Another group of miners working for Clay, named Tavarius (Japanese: '''タケオ ''' ''Takeo''), Tibor (Japanese: '''ツナシロウ''' ''Tsunashirō''), Pasqual (Japanese: '''トオル''' ''Tooru''), and Friedrich (Japanese: '''フンボルト''' ''Humboldt'') appeared in ''[[PS546|Giant Chasm]]''. They were seen helping Clay free the people trapped in the ice in [[Opelucid City]]. Like the workers seen in ''Lights, Camera...Action'', they could be found in the Driftveil Gym in {{2v2|Black 2|White 2}}.

In ''[[PASS02|Crackle!! Practice Battle]]'', a Worker in a X & Y design watched as [[Leon]] attempted to herd the {{p|Wooloo}} away from the [[Wedgehurst|Wedgehurst Station]], but to no avail.
