Pokémon the Series: XY
A female Sky Trainer named Moria appeared in Battles in the Sky!, commanding a Talonflame. At the beginning of the episode, she was seen defeating a male Sky Trainer using a Skarmory. Later she also battled Ash twice. In the first battle, her Talonflame took a rather easy victory over Ash's Hawlucha, while in the second battle, Ash's Fletchling evolved into a Fletchinder and learned Flame Charge in the middle of the match, resulting in Ash's victory.
A couple of other, unnamed Sky Trainers also appeared in the Sky Battle Center where Ash and his friends practiced the basics of Sky Battles.
Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon
A Sky Trainer appeared in Getting a Jump on the Competition!, participating in the Pokémon Sled Jump Games on Mount Lanakila with an Emolga.

Pokémon Adventures
Y, who was first introduced in An X-cuse to Come Out and Play, is training to become a Sky Trainer. She chose this career path out of irritation when people expected her to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a Rhyhorn Racer, deciding to do the exact opposite thing and learn to fly.
Later, it is revealed that there was a Sky Trainer school in Vaniville Town, where Y studied at along with her senior, Yvette, who had collected 18 of the Vivillon patterns.
