Poachers have appeared in a number of episodes as well as {{pkmn|movie}}s. [[Team Rocket]] was the first major organization to steal Pokémon for profit. The first major hunter to appear in a movie was also a member of said team: the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], the main villain of ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. Using a unique [[Poké Ball]] known as the [[Dark Ball]], he attempted to capture {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}. Another poacher also appeared briefly at the beginning of the film.

A group of poachers, the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]], appeared in a memory of [[Ash's Larvitar]] in ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]''.

A trio of Pokémon hunters served as antagonists in ''[[Pokémon the Movie: The Power of Us—Zeraora]]''. Two of the hunters made their first appearance in [[ESEZ1]], where they were part of a virtual reality simulation of [[Fula City]]'s past. There, the two attempted to kidnap the wild Pokémon living in Fula City, only to be stopped by {{OBP|Zeraora|M21}}. Thinking they could make a profit on Zeraora as well, the hunters attempted to take it as well and used their Pokémon to battle it. Zeraora easily defeated the hunters' Pokémon and forced them to escape. Afterward, the hunters informed their boss, [[Agai]], of the situation, which led to him deciding to face Zeraora himself.
In [[ESEZ2]], Agai and the other hunters attacked a boy named [[Nozomu]] in an attempt to steal his {{p|Elekid}}. After Nozomu was saved by Zeraora, Agai battled against it, only to lose as well, forcing him and the hunters to retreat once more.

Pokémon Hunter J

Poachers have appeared in a number of episodes as well as movies. Team Rocket was the first major organization to steal Pokémon for profit. The first major hunter to appear in a movie was also a member of said team: the Iron-Masked Marauder, the main villain of Celebi: The Voice of the Forest. Using a unique Poké Ball known as the Dark Ball, he attempted to capture Celebi. Another poacher also appeared briefly at the beginning of the film.

J was the first recurring poacher. She traveled through the Sinnoh region with her henchmen, stealing Pokémon on behalf of her clients, who often gave large sums of money in exchange. Like the Iron-Masked Marauder, she often used sinister gadgets to achieve her goals.

Pokémon hunters tend to be far more dangerous than other villains in the series as they typically have no qualms about having their Pokémon attack humans directly or using guns to attack their target. This is most often shown by J, who in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 2 seemed to be trying to kill Ash repeatedly, and Rico who also had his Pokémon attack Jessie and James.
