A Cook (Japanese: コック Cook) is a type of Trainer class introduced in Generation VII. They are depicted as apron-wearing men and women interested in cooking. They can be seen as the counterpart for Generation VI's Chef class in Generation VII onward.

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, all Pokémon used by Cooks are holding Leftovers.

From Generation VIII onward, they tend to specialize in food-themed Pokémon.

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Cooks keep their Pokémon in Great Balls. In the Battle Tower, they specialize in Bug-, Fire-, and Water-type Pokémon.
