Bea's Grapploct (Japanese: サイトウ オトスパス Saitou's Otosupus) is a Pokémon owned by Bea.
In the anime
Grapploct debuted in Solitary and Menacing!, where it was seen battling the Karate Master in the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City, where it defeated his Hitmonchan. It had also battled his Hitmonlee and won, as shown during a flashback. Bea then used Grapploct in her World Coronation Series match against Ash, where it went up against his Riolu. Despite Riolu putting up a tough fight, Grapploct eventually emerged victorious, causing Ash's rank to drop.
In Making Battles in the Sand!, Grapploct appears in a flashback. Due to the defeat against Bea, Ash tries to look for other ways to train Riolu, and because of that he loses to two Trainers who use Pokémon with similar characteristics to Grappoclt.
Its rivalry with Ash's Lucario
Grapploct reappeared in Octo-Gridlock at the Gym!, where it was battling Chuck's Poliwrath at the Cianwood Gym but the battle was called off when Ash arrived, requesting a rematch which Bea accepted. Grapploct was the second Pokémon used, going up against Pikachu after it had defeated Hitmontop. Despite Pikachu putting up a tough fight, Grapploct emerged victorious and battled Riolu once again. After putting up a tough fight, the battle saw both Pokémon go down, resulting in a draw.
In Battle Three With Bea!, Grapploct is the first Pokémon used by Bea in her third battle against Ash, this time battling Pikachu. After a brief but difficult battle, Ash switches to Lucario, where this time it's Bea who calls her Pokémon back. In A Battle of Mega Versus Max!, Grapploct was sent out to battle Pikachu, managing to defeat him before finally being defeated by Lucario.
In Toying With Your Motions!, Grapploct watched Ash's match against Leon alongside its Trainer.
Personality and characteristics
Grapploct is a strong Pokémon, taking on many a tough opponent such as Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Riolu, and Pikachu, defeating them all and only drawing to Riolu during a rematch. Despite this, Grapploct is shown to have a soft side, as seen in Octo-Gridlock at the Gym! where it encouraged Riolu to enjoy some food that Bea was offering it.
