A Rancher (Japanese: ぼくじょうおじさん Ranch Man) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation IV games. They are depicted as middle-aged men, wearing cowboy hats and overalls, and carry pitchforks. Most are found near Solaceon Town.

Ranchers are the male counterparts of Cowgirls. When one of each is paired in a Double Battle, they are called Ranchers.

Unlike many other Trainer classes, Ranchers do not seem to specialize in any certain type of Pokémon.
