A '''Galactic Grunt''' (Japanese: '''ギンガだんのしたっぱ''' ''Team Galactic Underling'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that 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 turquoise 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. They 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. They generally use a combination of {{t|Bug}}-{{sup/4|DP}}, {{t|Dark}}-{{sup/4|Pt}} and {{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon.

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 [[Team 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.

Later, more groups of grunts attack the [[Lake Verity|three]] [[Lake Valor|lakes]] [[Lake Acuity|of]] [[Sinnoh]] alongside their three Commanders, [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]], and [[Saturn]]. Finally, a group of grunts appeared at [[Stark Mountain]] where they followed [[Charon|Charon's]] orders in order to help him capture [[Heatran]].

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP Adventure]] a Galactic Grunt known as [[B-2]] is given a recurring role in the manga. He is distinguishable from other grunts due to his jiggling buttocks after being bitten by [[Hareta]]. The other grunts were given various assignments from their boss, [[Cyrus]].
