A '''Pokémon poacher''' is someone who captures [[wild Pokémon]], sometimes many of the same species at a time, to sell for profit.  These people are sometimes referred to as '''Pokémon hunters''', and are known for having exceptionally powerful Pokémon.

==In the anime==
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 was also a member of the said team: the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], the main villain of ''[[M04|Celebi: 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.

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 (in the case of the [[Pokémon Poacher Brothers]] or [[Rico]], who used an {{wp|FN P90}} model gun) to attack their prey. This is most often shown by [[J]], who in ''[[DP072|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.
