A Pokémon poacher (Japanese: ポケモンハンター Pokémon hunter) is a person who captures wild Pokémon, sometimes many of the same Pokémon at a time, to sell for profit. These people are also referred to as Pokémon hunters, and are known for having exceptionally powerful Pokémon.

Pokémon Hunter J

Poachers have appeared in a number of animated series episode, as well as in the movies. Team Rocket was the first major organization shown 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 try to kill Ash repeatedly, and Rico, who also had his Pokémon attack Jessie and James.
