Grant debuted in ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met him at the [[Battle Chateau]]. He was promoted to the {{tc|Grand Duke}} rank after his {{p|Onix}} won a battle against [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}}. Close to the end of the episode, Ash and his friends discovered that Grant is the Cyllage City Gym Leader, making Ash even more excited about his upcoming [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with him.

In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Grant accepted Ash's Gym challenge after the latter's arrival at the [[Cyllage Gym]]. Unlike most Gym Leaders, he allowed Ash to use his entire team against him while he would only be using two Pokémon. After some hard battles, Ash emerged victorious and Grant awarded him the Cliff Badge, telling the Trainer he would like to battle him at the [[Battle Chateau]] sometime.

He reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', when Ash was talking to [[Everett]] about the Gym Leaders that he had defeated in Kalos, in order for him to be able to compete in the [[Lumiose Conference]].

===Character===

Grant cannot resist scaling walls, but has a tendency to fall off the rocks he is climbing on, which easily annoys Viola. He also seems to be good friends with her.

Grant is first seen in Cyllage City alongside Clemont. He teases Clemont for leaving the Prism Tower in the hands of Bonnie while he is away, but Clemont shrugs it off. Grant then points Clemont to {{kal|Grace}}, who he noticed sitting on a bench. They see her being taken away by [[Team Flare]] members and wonder what is happening. Later, he finds that Cycling Road had been damaged from a helicopter crash. He angrily demands the pilot, [[Cassius]], explain to him what had happened, which causes the two to get into an argument. Cassius manages to end the argument by agreeing to pay for the damages.

Later, he travels to a Laverre City hospital alongside Valerie and Olympia. They came to visit their friend and fellow Gym Leader Korrina, who was still recuperating from injuries she sustained from a battle with Team Flare. Additionally, the Gym Leaders gathered to have meeting with Team Flare as the subject. Grant notes that while they are still waiting for Wulfric and Ramos to arrive, no one has been able to contact Clemont, which worries him. Afterward, he heads off to the meeting with Valerie and Olympia.

After meeting up with Wulfric and Ramos, the Gym Leaders finish their meeting and return to Y's group. They travel by sea on Wulfric's {{p|Avalugg}} to Geosenge Town, where Team Flare's base is located. Upon arriving, they find the ultimate weapon in the process of being activated. When Y leaps in to keep the weapon's petals from opening, the Gym Leaders assist her by also using their strength and their Pokémon to keep the weapon closed. Despite their best efforts, the Gym Leaders are unable to prevent the ultimate weapon from blooming and firing on the Kalos region. The attack hits many areas and damages several buildings, but the heroes' efforts managed to weaken the weapon's power and prevent any lives from being taken. The Gym Leaders and Y were also protected from the attack thanks to Olympia and Valerie's Pokémon surrounding them in barriers.

 

Later, the Kalos Gym Leaders help rebuild the damaged buildings that were destroyed by the ultimate weapon's blast. Due to Team Flare's influence over the media, the Gym Leaders and X's group were blamed for the incident.

 

Sometime later, Team Flare attempts to reactivate the plan to use the ultimate weapon by extracting life energy from wild Pokémon captured at the [[Pokémon Village]]. The plan is interrupted by the arrival of Viola, [[Clemont]], [[Alexa]], [[Bonnie]], and [[Yvette]], who lead a charge to free the captured Pokémon. When {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Chalmers}} attempts to call for backup, he finds that Grant and the other Gym Leaders have defeated the other members of Team Flare that were stationed at Cyllage City. After Team Flare is fully defeated, Grant and his allies meet with X and his friends at [[Lumiose City]] to congratulate them on their victory.

|desc={{p|Aurorus}} is Grant's first known Pokémon. It was first seen accompanying its Trainer as they patrolled around Cycling Road only to find it in shambles from the crash of Cassius's helicopter. At Geosenge Town, it helped try to keep the ultimate weapon from opening with its weight. Later, it helped repair the damage done by the ultimate weapon firing on Kalos.  

|epnum=PAXY24

|desc={{p|Tyrantrum}} is Grant's second known Pokémon. It was first sent out at Geosenge Town to keep the ultimate weapon from opening as it was being unearthed. With the help of Valerie's {{p|Mr. Mime}}, it was able to stand on the air, but was knocked off by Bryony's {{p|Bisharp}}.
