Assuming he's a Rock-type gym leader (he is a rock climber with gems in his hair) I'd say his name comes from granite. I'd argue that's more plausible than pomegranite (he's definitely not a grass-type leader).

:Pomegranate has nothing to do with types. Characters in the Japanese versions are named after plants. Since Clemont has "lemon" in it and Viola keeps her Japanese name, it's obvious that they are trying to keep the theme, sort of. Granite is likely, but until we know his specialized type, we can't just assume the origin. It'll be added once we know it.

I like to think that Grant's name originates from the Jurassic Park character, Alan Grant, who was a palaeontologist(basically a fossil hunter). The link between the two is Grant's party, which are dinosaurs. what do you think? [[User:Animebernard|Animebernard]] | |||
:I agree. Also, Cyllage City is not far from the Glittering Cave, where fossils can be found. [[User:MetalMetroid997|MetalMetroid997]] ([[User talk:MetalMetroid997|talk]]) 10:36, 4 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
::Coincidence. Grant is not a paleontologist and relating it to the close distance of his city to Glittering Cave is just forcing it. --[[User:神奇超龍|<font color="#2B547E">'''超龍'''</font>]]<sub><small>「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」</small></sub> 12:13, 4 December 2013 (UTC) | |||

== Korean name for Grant == | |||
His Korean name is 자크로 ''Jakeuro''. | |||

== Rock Type Leader == | |||
I know we're waiting for official confirmation, but here are the things that point to Grant being a Rock type leader: His official profile background is brown, his badge looks like bricks, his gym looks like it has a cavern motif, he's a rock climber, and his hair looks like a mountain with gems in it. The name also sounds like Granite, a type of rock. [[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 00:59, 13 September 2013 (UTC) | |||

== Battle Chateau Lv 40 == | |||
I just fought Grant at the Battle Chateau and his pokemon were lv 40. His Aurorus had Rest, Sleep Talk, Avalanche, & Stone Edge.(But it only used Stone Edge, Had to use Ditto to find out the other moves). The only move his Tyrantum used was Stone Edge too, but I couldn't find out what it's other moves were. {{unsigned|StarDragonJP}} | |||

Is it worth mentioning that Grant is the only {{type|Rock}} specialist to not use a member of the {{p|Geodude}} or {{p|Onix}} lines at one point in the games? I know the anime replaced his {{p|Amaura}} with an Onix, but the anime ≠ the games. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 18:42, 28 June 2017 (UTC) | |||
