Juggler (Trainer class)

Template:TrainerClassInfobox

A **Juggler** (Japanese: **ジプシージャグラー** *Gypsy Juggler* in Generations I and II, **ジャグラー** *Juggler* in Generations III and IV) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They are depicted as slim young men in flashy costumes, juggling Poké Balls.

They specialize in using spherical Pokémon like Voltorb, as well as Psychic-type Pokémon, fitting with their class title and keeping with their circus theme, similar to the Clown class. They occasionally exhibit the behaviour of constantly switching out their Pokémon in battle.

Oddly enough, among the Team Rocket Grunts and Team Rocket scientists in Silph Co. is Juggler Dalton, who attacks the player like any grunt, exclaiming that kids shouldn't be here. He battles the player with a Kadabra and a Mr. Mime. After the battle, he says that it's a long way to his boss, indirectly referring to Giovanni, which hints that Dalton is associated with Team Rocket (though he is clearly not a grunt). He is also the only Team Rocket member not belonging to either the Team Rocket or Scientist Trainer class.

In Template:Eng, a Juggler is one of the opponents in the Poké Cup and sticks to a comedic, unpredictable strategy in every encounter: his Pokémon almost always carry the move Metronome, and if anything else, usually Counter, a sleep move and Dream Eater combo, or Psywave. In the Ultra Ball difficulty of Round 2, his team knows nothing but Metronome.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, a Juggler found by the Pokémon Center in Violet City and another by Pal Park in Fuchsia City can trade Berries in exchange for shards.

## Trivia

 File:Juggler line RB.png

* In Generation I, there are *two* identical Juggler classes in the game's code, at hex D5 and DD.

* Juggler is the only Trainer class not to retain its original Japanese title from Generation II in HeartGold and SoulSilver. This is likely because "Gypsy Juggler" could be considered offensive to people of Romani descent.

* In Generation I, a Juggler from the Fuchsia Gym had one line considered famous in fandom.

**JUGGLER**: "Dropped my balls!"
