Master Trainer: Difference between revisions

A '''Master Trainer''' (Japanese: '''マスタートレーナー''' ''Master Trainer'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. They are 153 Trainers who each specialize in a different species of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from [[Generation I]], plus {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}. They can be encountered in various locations around [[Kanto]] after becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. Master Trainers wear red clothing and have the icon of their favorite Pokémon in a bubble above their heads. Their Pokémon are high [[level]]ed and tend to have a lot of {{AV}}s and maximum {{IV}}s in certain [[statistic|stats]].

When the {{player}} battles a Master Trainer, they can only use one Pokémon of the same species as the Master Trainer's favorite and neither party can use [[item]]s other than their [[Key Stone]] and [[Mega Stone]]s in battle. Upon defeating one, their title can be used by the player in [[Link Battle]]s. While the Master Trainers do not use [[regional variant|Alolan Pokémon]] or [[Mega Evolution]], the player is permitted to use them when challenging their respective Master Trainers. The player's party will be fully restored before and after each battle against a Master Trainer. If the player wins, the Master Trainer can be [[rematch|re-battled]] the following day; if the player loses, they can speak to the Master Trainer for an immediate rematch. Master Trainers do not give out [[prize money]] when defeated, nor do players [[black out]] and payout money if they lose.  

The Master Trainers for [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Mythical Pokémon]], and {{p|Ditto}} do not battle the player. Instead, they grant the player their title upon showing them a Pokémon of their respective specialty with a high enough {{stat|CP}}. These Trainers all have the appearance of a Master Trainer {{tc|Scientist}}.

Defeating at least six Master Trainers allows the player to battle {{ga|Red}} outside the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], who will grant the player the title of Battle Master after being defeated. Earning every Master Trainer title, except for those of Mythical Pokémon, earns the player the title of {{tc|Grand Master}}.
