A Grand Duchess (Japanese: グランダッチェス Grand Duchess) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that debuted in Generation VI. This Trainer class is a title of nobility, granted in the Battle Chateau, and Trainers with this class only appear there. Grand Duchess is the highest rank of nobility for females, ranking above Duchess. They are the female counterparts of the Grand Duke class.

The female player character may earn the title of Grand Duchess by defeating most of the Trainers in the Battle Chateau. Diantha is the only non-player character who uses this Trainer class. She can be battled after the player has reached the rank of Grand Duke/Grand Duchess in the Battle Chateau.
