Idol (Trainer class) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokmon encyclopedia

From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

An Idol (Japanese: アイドル Idol) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in the Generation IV games. Outside the Battle Frontier, there is only one Idol, Grace, who is found in the Jubilife City TV station in Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl and inside various Sinnoh Pokémon Centers after the player obtains the Vs. Seeker in Pokémon Platinum. Idols are teenage girls dressed up in elaborate pink pop star outfits with a microphone.

They mostly use cute Pokémon from the Fairy Egg Group, such as Pikachu and Clefairy, in battle.
