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 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. | Poachers have appeared in a number of episodes as well as {{pkmn|movie}}s.
