From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
A Musician (Japanese: ミュージシャン Musician) is a type of Pokémon Trainer introduced in Generation V. In Unova, they are depicted as young men with long hair and glasses playing an acoustic guitar and resemble Generation IV's Guitarists. In Galar, they are depicted as young men with short hair and sunglasses holding a microphone. In Paldea, they are young women depicted as country artists, wearing cowgirl clothing.
In Generations V and IX, most Pokémon used by Musicians are related to sound and music, and tend to use sound-based moves. In Generation VIII, they specialize in Electric-type Pokémon.
In Double Battles, a Musician paired with a female Dancer are called a Music Crew.

By the time White and Bianca arrived, he was being attacked by a wild Vullaby, and his hand was broken as a result of the attack, which left him unable to play the guitar.
