A '''Master Trainer''' (Japanese: '''マスタートレーナー''' ''Master Trainer'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] 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]], plus {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}. They 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. Their Pokémon are high [[level]]ed and tend to have a lot of {{AV}}s and maximum {{IV}}s in certain [[statistic|stats]]. | A '''Master Trainer''' (Japanese: '''マスタートレーナー''' ''Master Trainer'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

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 trainer can use [[item]]s in battle. To begin the battle, the Pokémon of that species must be in the first (top-left) position of the [[party]]. Upon defeating one, their title can be used by the player in [[Link Battle]]s. The player's title will be automatically be set to the last earned, and can be changed by talking to a woman in the Game Freak office in [[Celadon Condominiums]]. While the Master Trainers do not use {{rf|Alolan}} Pokémon or [[Mega Evolution]], the player is permitted to use them when challenging their respective Master Trainers. The player's party will be fully restored before and after each battle against a Master Trainer. If the player wins, the Master Trainer can be [[rematch|re-battled]] the following day; if the player loses, they can speak to the Master Trainer for an immediate rematch. The player can [[escape|run]] from a Master Trainer at any time, counting as a forfeit. Master Trainers do not give out [[prize money]] when defeated, nor do players [[black out]] and pay out money if they lose. | ||
