A Team Flare Grunt (Japanese: フレア団のしたっぱ Team Flare Underling) is a type of Pokémon Trainer introduced in Generation VI. They are members of Team Flare who are dressed in red business suits and sport hairstyles resembling wisps of fire; however, two Team Flare Grunts dressed as a Garçon and a Waitress can be battled in Lysandre Café after Lysandre announces that he and his Grunts will launch the ultimate weapon. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, they also don other disguises, including as an innkeeper and an editor-in-chief.

They use a combination of Fire-, Dark-, Poison-, Fighting-, and Electric-type Pokémon.

Reason: XY132

Several Team Flare Grunts first appeared in From A to Z!. They were led by Mable during their search for Zygarde in Terminus Cave. Mable and the Grunts were unable to capture Zygarde as it used Land's Wrath to get away. The Team Flare Grunts were later seen with Celosia, this time when Squishy went running off from Ash, his friends, and Sawyer. The Grunts and Celosia battled Ash and his friends, but were unable to finish the battle as Ash and his friends retreated via a distraction caused by Pikachu's Electro Ball. The Team Flare Grunts found the group as they were by the campsite looking for Squishy as it ran off again. While Ash and Sawyer dealt with Celosia, Ash had his friends take Squishy to safety. Bryony and her set of Team Flare Grunts later found Squishy by a rock on a river. Squishy transformed into its 10% Forme and sent Bryony and her set of Grunts packing.

In Meeting at Terminus Cave!, a set of Team Flare Grunts stood by Terminus Cave along with Celosia and Bryony awaiting for Squishy's arrival. After Ash and his friends went into the cave, Team Flare came out of hiding. The Grunts battled the group once more, but were defeated by Squishy's 10% Forme, although this allowed Squishy to separate from the group as a result.

In An Explosive Operation!, the Team Flare Grunts battled Z2, who soon transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes. They were about to lose until Alain arrived per Lysandre's request. Alain then proceeded to battle Z2 with his Charizard. The battle distracted Z2 long enough for Team Flare to use their specialized weapons to weaken it back to its Zygarde Core Forme. They then took the Core into their custody.

Spritzee
Team Flare's Spritzee

Spritzee belonged to a member of Team Flare that was disguised as an innkeeper. When Y went to talk to X, the innkeeper had her Spritzee attack Y to prevent her from leaving the inn. Y's Fletchy broke the window for Y, allowing her to escape while it stayed behind to battle Spritzee. Eventually, Fletchy won and defeated both Spritzee and the innkeeper.

None of Spritzee's moves are known.

Tyrunt
Team Flare's Tyrunt

Tyrunt was first used by a Grunt on Route 5. They attempted to collect a Manectite hidden in a tree, but an Electrike happened to lead X and his friends to the same tree. The Mega Stone was found and taken by Clemont, but the Grunt had Tyrunt chew through the tree and have it crash on top of Clemont, leaving it open to be stolen. X pursued the Tyrunt, but it also managed to steal Kanga's Kangaskhanite as well.

Espurr (×4)

None of their moves are known.

Later, two Grunts used both Noibat to attack X's group once again. They attack Y in the air, leaving her at a disadvantage. With their supersonic waves, the Noibat prevented the group's voices from reaching their Pokémon, which prevented them from helping Y. By having Chespin pop a Wailmer balloon, the Noibat and their Trainers were sent flying when the balloon crashed into them as it deflated. Later, more were used to guard the Team Flare Secret HQ, but were defeated by X's team.

None of Noibat's moves are known.

Sliggoo

Sliggoo was used by two Grunts at the Fun Minigame Corner. It attacked Y while she was trying to bond with her Eevee, Vuivui. With its acidic slime, it burned through Y's helmet and nearly melted her. Vuivui battled against Sliggoo, but was no match until it evolved into a Sylveon, thus becoming immune to Sliggoo's attacks. Vuivui defeated Sliggoo by draining its health with Draining Kiss and send the two Grunts flying.

None of Sliggoo's moves are known.

Goomy (×2)
Team Flare's Goomy
