The Pokémon G-Men (Japanese: ポケモンGメン Pokémon G Men) is an organization in Pokémon the Series. Lance is the only known member.

Not much is known about the organization. Lance explained that the Pokémon G-Men's main purpose as a detective unit is to travel the countryside, investigating and arresting anyone who improperly treats Pokémon. Their agents tend to infiltrate the targeted operation in a disguise before passing on any incriminating information to Officer Jenny to make the arrests.

The organization was first mentioned in the Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver episode Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution. It was mentioned again during Lance's reappearances in Rage Of Innocence, in the Ruby and Sapphire series episode Gaining Groudon, and in the Journeys series episodes Flash of the Titans! and Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!.
