A '''Galactic Grunt''' (Japanese: '''ギンガだんのしたっぱ''' ''Team Galactic Underling'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation IV]] games. They are the grunts of [[Team Galactic]]. There are male and female versions, and they all dress in the spacesuit-looking outfits that are the Team Galactic uniforms and have light blue hair that is cut quite short and rounded.

In the games, Galactic Grunts generally act as footsoldiers and guards for [[Team Galactic]]. Like all villain team Grunts, they are not individually named. Unlike other team grunts however, such as [[Team Rocket|Rocket grunts]], [[Team Plasma|Plasma grunts]], [[Team Aqua|Aqua grunts]] and [[Team Magma|Magma grunts]], Team Galactic grunts don't seem to get what are the global objectives of the [[Team Galactic|team]] and often speak nonsense about them, which makes them look silly as to why they joined the team in the first place. They also are known to simply quote Team Galactic's mottos and policies that can be found in their Headquarters even if they do not challenge the player. Certain Galactic grunts sometimes drop keys to their warehouses and HQs when they are defeated and/or they run away.

 

In {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, They generally use a combination of {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Stunky}}, {{p|Croagunk}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Bronzor}}, and the {{p|Wurmple}} line.

 

In {{v2|Platinum}}, they don't use the Wurmple or Bronzor lines anymore and now also use the {{p|Houndour}} and {{p|Murkrow}} lines.

A group of Galactic Grunts first appear in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade (II)]]'', where they interrogate [[Rad Rickshaw]], the owner of the bicycle shop, after abducting him. They were quickly dispelled by [[Cynthia]]'s {{p|Spiritomb}} and fled their [[Galactic Eterna Building|hideout]], but many more of them made another appearance in ''[[PS358|Stunning Staravia & Stinky Skuntank I]]'', where one of them snatched {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Pokédex]] and almost got away with it, and many others fought [[Paka and Uji|Paka, Uji]], {{adv|Diamond}}, and {{adv|Pearl}} to find and issue a ransom on Platinum.  

Finally, more groups of grunts attack the [[Lake Verity|three]] [[Lake Valor|lakes]] [[Lake Acuity|of]] [[Sinnoh]] alongside their three Commanders, [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]], and [[Saturn]].
