In the Generation IV games, Trainers from the Waiter class are generally rare and those that want to battle can be only be found in the Battle Tower and the Battle Frontier. There are no other Trainers from the Waiter class outside this place that will challenge the player to a battle.

A Waiter also welcomes the player into the Seven Stars Restaurant in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, but he cannot be battled.

In Generation VI, a similar Trainer class is introduced under the name of Garçon.
