Team Plasma Grunts

A Team Plasma Grunt (Japanese: プラズマだんのしたっぱ Team Plasma Underling) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation V games. They are the grunts of Team Plasma. There are male and female versions, and they all dress similarly to knights from the Middle Ages. Many of them use Patrat, Sandile, Scraggy, Purrloin, Trubbish, and their respective evolutions.

Team Plasma Grunts are hypocritical, as they fight for Pokémon liberation yet keep their own Pokémon to battle with, unlike N, who seems to catch nearby wild Pokémon for battle and release them after, and the Seven Sages, who refrain from battling and call upon Grunts instead. In fact, Grunts, N, and Ghetsis are the only Team Plasma members to even battle the player. And although they preach living in peace with Pokémon, some of them still abuse Pokémon, such as two grunts kicking a Munna for its Dream Mist, and treat Pokémon as tools, such as when one grunt states that N's Castle was built by overworking the Pokémon they had captured.

Appearance

The Uniforms of Team Plasma's Grunts appear to include armor or parts of clothing that merely look like armor. The black cords on the top front of their hoods either function to hold it together (a two-piece hood) or are simply an aesthetic addition.
