Dawn (Japanese: ヒカリ Hikari) is a Pokémon Trainer in the Pokémon games Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. Her male counterpart is Lucas.

In Diamond & Pearl, as well as their respective remakes, Dawn wears a black V-neck tank top with a white shirt under it and a short pink mini skirt. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink Poké Ball print on it. She also wears yellow hair clips that hold up her hair in front. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also wears a long red scarf.

In Platinum, she wears a long red sweater dress with pink buttons, a thick white scarf and pink boots with white buttons, as well as white socks underneath her boots (replacing the black ones in Diamond & Pearl). Her hair clips are also pink, replacing the yellow hair clips in Diamond & Pearl. Her beanie is almost identical to the one she wears in Diamond & Pearl, but is flipped horizontally.

She lives in Twinleaf Town with her mother, Johanna, and her best friend and rival, Barry. In Diamond and Pearl, as well as their remakes, she receives her first Pokémon in Lake Verity after she and Barry are attacked by wild Starly. In Platinum, she receives her first Pokémon on Route 201 instead of Lake Verity and she battles Barry after Prof. Rowan goes back to Sandgem Town with his assistant, Lucas. She also meets Looker, an officer of the International Police who looks after Team Galactic to stop them. In Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, she has to stop Team Galactic and Cyrus from destroying the entire universe.

As NPC

When she is not chosen as the player, she is Professor Rowan's assistant. She lives in Sandgem Town with her father, who is also one of Professor Rowan's assistants, her little sister, and her grandfather. She shows Lucas, the player, the Pokémon Center and the PokeMart and teaches him how to catch a Pokémon.

-**They both had a large number of rivals in their professions for the top spot.

-**Since the beginning (especially when they first meet), they both had great admiration for [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and his actions out of love for Pokémon (when Ash rescued [[Pikachu]] by climbing one of Team Rocket's mecha for Dawn and when he helped an agitated Garchomp on Prism Tower on live TV for Serena), and are never judgmental of and very kind to him, even going as far as always believing in Ash to win his battles.
+* Glaceon
-*In the anime, when Dawn comes to Snowpoint City with Ash and [[Brock (Pokémon)|Brock]], she wears her game counterpart's outfit from ''Pokémon Platinum''; the only thing that is different is that Dawn kept her golden hairclips instead of replacing them in the pink ones.
