They specialize in using {{p|Mr. Mime}}, as well as {{m|Selfdestruct}}ing ball Pokémon like {{p|Voltorb}}, keeping with their circus theme, similar to the [[Clown]] class. They are fond of constantly switching out their Pokémon in battle.

A famous Juggler line (upon being defeated), from a Juggler in [[Fuchsia Gym]], in [[Generation I]], was "Oops, dropped my balls!" This statement caused endless snickers in the fandom. [[File:RedJuggler.png|thumb|right|250px|The famous line.]]

Oddly enough, among the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s and [[Team Rocket scientists]] in [[Silph Co.]] is Juggler Dalton, who attacks the player like any grunt, exclaiming that kids shouldn't be here. He battles the player with a {{p|Kadabra}} and a {{p|Mr. Mime}}. After the battle, he says that it's a long way to his boss, indirectly referring to Giovanni, which hints that Dalton is associated with [[Team Rocket]] (though he is clearly not a grunt). He is also the only Team Rocket member not belonging to either the [[Team Rocket]] or [[Scientist]] Trainer class.

In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, a Juggler is one of the opponents in the [[Poké Cup]] and sticks to a comedic, unpredictable strategy in every encounter: his Pokémon almost always carry the move {{m|Metronome}}, and if anything else, usually {{m|Counter}}, a sleep move and {{m|Dream Eater}} combo, or {{m|Psywave}}. In the Ultra Ball difficulty of Round 2, his team knows nothing but Metronome.
