Stat Trainers

Stat Trainers are fan term for a group of five Generation IV Pokémon Trainers – Cheryl, Mira, Riley, Buck, and Marley – who specialize in Pokémon that excel in a certain stat.
The stat Trainers first appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, where each is encountered at a certain point during the player's journey. Unlike other Trainers, the stat Trainers ask the player to help them to navigate their way through a certain area, participating in Multi Battles against other Trainers and wild Pokémon, and healing the player's Pokémon after each battle.
After the player has entered the Hall of Fame, the stat Trainers that the player has encountered so far will be waiting in the Battle Tower to participate in Multi Battles.
In Diamond and Pearl, only Cheryl is required to be encountered during the game's storyline; the others are optional. In Pokémon Platinum, in addition to reprising their role from Diamond and Pearl, the stat Trainers the player has encountered will also appear in the Battleground in the Survival Area as potential opponents. Riley and Buck are also now required to complete the game's storyline, with both of their scenarios involving Team Galactic.
The stat Trainers also appear in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver as Multi Battle partners in the Battle Tower.
