'''Flint''' (Japanese: '''オーバ''' ''Ohba'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series==
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Flint is the third member of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]]. He is friends with [[Volkner]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. Flint's younger brother is [[Buck]], and their grandfather runs the [[Battleground]].

Flint first encounters the {{player}} in Sunyshore City, informing him about the recent blackouts and Volkner's disillusionment as a Gym Leader. He asks the player to bring back the excitement of Pokémon battles to Volkner before seemingly returning to the [[Pokémon League]].

In {{game|Platinum}}, Flint and Volkner challenge the player and their {{ga|Barry|rival}} to a [[Double Battle]] upon their arrival to the [[Battle Zone]].

==Quotes==
{{main|Flint (Elite Four)/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Flint E4 anime.png|thumb|250px|Flint in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Flint was first mentioned in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'' by [[Lucian]], and again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'' by [[Officer Jenny]].

Flint made his physical debut in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]''. He noticed {{Ash}}'s determination as he walked by the [[Sunyshore Gym]], and went on to escort the group directly to [[Volkner]], who was hiding away in the [[Sunyshore Tower]]. After Volkner declined Ash's challenge to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, Flint took {{ashfr|the group}} to a café run by his old friend, the [[Proprietor]]. Flint explained that he use to battle the Sunyshore street hoodlums with his {{TP|Flint|Chimchar}} when he was younger. He came across Volkner one day and defeated him in battle, though the next time the pair met, Volkner won. The two soon became rivals and later good friends after having a Tag Battle against the Proprietor. After turning 20, Flint left his [[hometown]] and eventually became a member of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]]. At the same time, Volkner became the Sunyshore Gym Leader.

[[File:Young Flint.png|left|thumb|250px|Young Flint and his Chimchar]]
However, Flint constantly returned to Sunyshore City to convince the increasingly despondent Volkner to start battling again. After Volkner refused Ash's challenge for a battle again, Flint battled Ash in his place and defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]], {{AP|Infernape}}, and {{AP|Buizel}} with his {{p|Infernape}} easily. In the process, Volkner observed the match and became reinvigorated upon observing Ash's teamwork with his Pokémon. Flint was glad to see this development and watched as Volkner reconsidered his decision to turn Ash away.

In ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'', Flint sat in the grandstands to watch Volkner go up against Ash. The Gym battle was interrupted by {{TRT}} after they stole the Sunyshore Tower and caused the city to have a power outage. Flint, Volkner, and Ash all jumped onto the tower as Team Rocket was beginning to rocket into the sky, though Flint lost his grip and feel into the ocean below. However, he worked with {{an|Brock}} to provide pedal power to the local [[Pokémon Center]] during the crisis. Flint later watched as Volkner landed the Sunyshore Tower back onto the ground, and he wished {{an|Dawn}} the best with her upcoming {{pkmn|Contest}}s as she and her friends left Sunyshore.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Flint watched Volkner battle Ash again. In the [[DP180|next episode]], he saved {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Floatzel}} from Team Rocket and won against [[Jasmine]] in an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}}. He also revealed that he would be challenging [[Cynthia]] for the title of [[Sinnoh League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Ash and his friends watched Flint battle Cynthia at the {{DL|Pokémon League|Champion League}} on TV in  ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. As mentioned by the emcee, Flint's Infernape managed to defeat two of Cynthia's Pokémon. However, Flint lost the match after his Infernape was defeated by [[Cynthia's Garchomp]].

Flint made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====Character====
Flint is a supportive friend, and despite all of his success as a member of the [[Elite Four]], he made several efforts to reach out to [[Volkner]] over the years. He is also passionate about battling and a prolific user of defense, a strategy he used to defeat {{Ash}} and later [[Jasmine]] of the [[Olivine Gym]]. In addition to strategy, in ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'', Flint told Ash that having confidence in oneself is just as critical to being a successful [[Pokémon Trainer]].

===GOTCHA!===

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Flint Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Flint in Pokémon Adventures]]
====History====
====={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
Flint debuts in ''[[PS416|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia VI]]'', when [[Volkner]] invites him to help him investigate a giant hole that appeared in the [[Sendoff Spring]].

====={{chap|Platinum}}=====
Flint and Volkner are seen in the [[Fight Area]] with their Pokémon. They are later seen investigating the hole at the Sendoff Spring when they receive a call from [[Buck]]. He tells Buck about the object that he is looking for at [[Stark Mountain]], the [[Magma Stone]], but the reception is lost and they get cut off.

Later, Flint and Volkner witness Platinum and her friends traveling to the Distortion World. Volkner teases Flint about caring that his younger brother has been injured, though Flint denies it and intends to defeat the person that beat Buck. Later, they arrive at the [[Sendoff Spring]], and enter the Distortion World through the [[Turnback Cave]].

Upon arriving, they are attacked by {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Giratina}} and are chased throughout the Distortion World by it. Despite a powerful combination attack they used, Giratina proves too powerful for them and defeats the two with a {{m|Dragon Breath}}. They manage to get up soon after, only for Giratina to leave to fight the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] in the area.

After Charon is defeated, Giratina tries one last time to attack Platinum, only for Flint and Volkner to attack it from behind and defeat it. Satisfied, the two hi-five each other in a prideful boast of their strength.

====Pokémon====
{{TrainerPoké

|gender=male
|pkmn=Magmortar
|type1=Fire
|img=Flint Magmortar Adventures.png
|epnum=PS417
|epname=Leaping Past Lopunny
|desc={{p|Magmortar}} is the only known Pokémon in Flint's possession. He was seen with Flint in the Fight Area along with Volkner and his {{p|Electivire}}. Later, he fought Giratina at the Distortion World only to be defeated. Later, he fought Giratina again, this time actually managing to defeat it.

Magmortar's only known move is {{m|Lava Plume}}, and his Ability is {{a|Flame Body}}.}}

[[File:Flint E4 DPA.png|thumb|200px|Flint in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
Flint appeared in ''[[DPA24|Hareta's Heart's Desire]]'' as he found out about the tournament and wanted to compete in it. Rapidash was the first Pokémon sent out. It was up against [[Hareta's Empoleon]]. Despite the type-disadvantage, Rapidash was able to defeat Empoleon with a {{m|Sunny Day}}/{{m|SolarBeam}} combo. He recalls Rapidash and sends out Drifblim while Hareta sends out {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}} and {{p|Misdreavus}}.

However, Hareta had no choice but to use Misdreavus as he was disallowed to use two Pokémon at once. Drifblim was able to defeat Misdreavus with {{m|Payback}} but due to it using {{m|Skill Swap}} beforehand, both Pokémon were out. Hareta than uses his Regigigas and Flint calls out Rapidash once again. Regigigas was able to defeat Rapidash with {{m|Mega Punch}}. Flint has one more Pokémon but resigns before even using it, giving Hareta the win.

Later, in ''[[DPA37|Gathering of the Legendary Pokémon]]'', he along with the Gym Leaders and Sinnoh Elite Four head to the Galactic HQ to take on the remaining Team Galactic grunts.

However, after Drifblim went for an attack, it was stopped by Misdreavus's {{m|Skill Swap}} which resulted in both side's Pokémon being knocked out as Misdreavus used Drifblim's Ability {{a|Aftermath}} from the effect of Skill Swap.

Drifblim's only known move is {{m|Payback}}, and its Ability is {{a|Aftermath}}{{tt|*|Skill Swapped by Hareta's Misdreavus}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Although he specializes in {{t|Fire}} types, in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, only two of the five {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that Flint uses are actually Fire-type, with only eight Fire-type moves between them, only four of which are actual attacking moves. Each of Flint's Pokémon knows at least one Fire-type move. In {{game|Platinum}}, Flint's entire team consists of his type specialty.
** This can be attributed to the fact that Diamond and Pearl's [[List_of_Pokémon_by_Sinnoh_Pokédex_number#Diamond_and_Pearl_edition|Pokédex]] contains only two complete lines of Fire-type Pokémon, both of which he uses the final evolutions of.
* Flint's Magmortar is the only Pokémon of a member of the Elite Four to use [[Seal]]s in Pokémon Platinum. Incidentally, it is used in the Double Battle with [[Volkner]], who uses his {{p|Electivire}}, the only Pokémon of a [[Gym Leader]] to have Seals.
* When the {{player}} talks to Volkner in the [[Villa]], he reveals that the reason that Flint uses the Fire type is his name.
* Flint is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four that doesn't have a Pokémon in any of his teams that knows {{m|Stone Edge}}.
* In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, [[Shauntal]] mentions Flint in one of her pre-battle quotes from her novels. She writes that his hairstyle "would be great with {{m|Head Charge}}," and that he is commanding a Pokémon to use {{m|Overheat}}.
* Flint has the least number of Pokémon {{SP|4}} (excluding Lv X cards) cards, with only four (the other Sinnoh Elite Four members have five each).
