Quotes
Cyllage City
- "Oh dear... If you're here for the Bicycle race, I'm afraid you're too late. The race is over, and I took first place. I feel bad that you missed it. Here--allow me to give you this Strength HM in consolation. If one of your Pokémon uses the move, it will be able to push large rocks around."
- "However, if you want to use the move outside of battle, you'll first need a Badge from the Gym I run in this city. On that note, I'll be waiting for you in the Gym. Come challenge me at your leisure."
Cyllage Gym
- "I've been waiting in eager anticipation! What have I been waiting for? For a worthy challenger to appear! It's quite an achievement to have climbed all the way up here. Very impressive, actually! I have a feeling that our battle will turn out to be worth the wait! I hope you'll show me that your skill as a Trainer surpasses even mine."
- "You have proven to be a wall that I am unable to surmount!"
- "There are some things that seem out of reach no matter how hard you try. However, it's important that you never give up—no matter the opponent or the odds. I could tell from our battle that you and your Pokémon understand that. To commemorate such an impressive show of teamwork, please accept the Cliff Badge!"
- "With the Cliff Badge in your grasp, you should have no issues working together with Pokémon up to level 40. This even applies to Pokémon you've received from other people in trade. And that's not all. You also get…this!"
- "It's Rock Tomb. With this move, a Pokémon can hurl rocks at its target, not only inflicting damage but also lowering the target's Speed and preventing it from moving. Now that you've become a master wall climber and conquered this Gym, it's time you thought about how to apply your skills in other areas! Think about how you can improve yourself, as well as the Pokémon that are always by your side. When you find the answer, that's when you'll truly be able to smile!"
- (post-game) "Have you heard of the Battle Chateau on Route 7? I like to take the occasional trip there. If it pleases you, I hope you might honor me with a rematch there someday."
Battle Chateau
- "There is only one thing I wish for. That by surpassing one another, we find a way to even greater heights."
- "You continue to be a wall that I am unable to surmount!"
- (if giving the player an item) "To commemorate such an impressive show of teamwork, please accept this gift!"
- "Yes, this is the way it should be. This way both humans and Pokémon will grow."
- After defeating the player
- "Do not give up. That is all there really is to it. The most important lessons in life are simple."
Gym Freaks
- April: "Hello! It's time for Gym Freaks, your source for the hottest news about hot Gym Leaders in Kalos. So... I'm now in front of the Cyllage City Gym! ... Whoa! Grant has arrived! He's good looking! So good looking! Lean yet muscular. Fascinating! That hairstyle of rolling stones into your hair is very popular among young people now! Grant is not only a Gym Leader but also a leader in fashion! Oh... He went inside the Gym... That's all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone."

He's good looking! So good looking! Lean yet muscular. Fascinating! But I know that he cuts down on his eating to keep his weight down! I saw him longingly looking at sweets in front of a café. He's so cute! Oh... He went inside the Gym... That's all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone."
In the anime
Grant debuted in Breaking Titles at the Chateau!, where Ash and his friends met him at the Battle Chateau. He was promoted to the Grand Duke rank after his Onix won a battle against Viola's Surskit. Close to the end of the episode, Ash and his friends discovered that Grant is the Cyllage City Gym Leader, making Ash even more excited about his upcoming Gym battle with him.
Grant can't resist scaling walls, and often falls on the ground, which Viola has become accustomed to. He also seems to be good friends with her.
Grant reappeared in XY025 when Ash reached Cyllage Gym. Grant, unlike most Gym Leaders, allowed Ash to use his entire team against him while he'd only be using two Pokémon. After some hard battles, Ash emerged victorious and Grant awarded him the Cliff Badge, telling the Trainer he'd like to battle him at the Battle Chateau sometime.

Onix
|
| Onix is Grant's first known Pokémon which he used in a battle against Viola's Surskit at the Battle Chateau. Despite Surskit creating its signature ice battle to aid its speed, Onix was able to turn the tables on the Pond Skater Pokémon by using its masterful control of Rock Tomb to trap it and Rock Polish to increase its speed, keeping Surskit on the defensive. Eventually, Onix ended the battle by using its powerful Flash Cannon to knock Surskit out.
Onix reappeared in XY025 as the first Pokémon Grant used in his Gym Battle against Ash, going up against Froakie. Onix attempted to keep up with the Bubble Frog Pokémon, however its speed in combination with Double Team confused Onix leaving it open to attacks, eventually allowing Froakie to knock it out with Water Pulse.
Onix's known moves are Rock Tomb, Flash Cannon, Rock Polish and Iron Tail.

Tyrunt
|
| Tyrunt was the second Pokémon used by Grant in his Gym Battle against Ash. Tyrunt, unlike Froakie, was quick and while Froakie was able to dodge Rock Tomb it was easily overpowered by Tyrunt's Draco Meteor. Next Tyrunt went up against Fletchling, and managed to knock it out easily (but not before taking damage from a super-effective Steel Wing)
Finally Tyrunt went up against Pikachu, who was able to dodge Tyrunt's attacks and even used the projectiles from Draco Meteor for momentum, before knocking out Tyrunt by firing Thunderbolt into its mouth.
Tyrunt's known moves are Rock Tomb, Draco Meteor, Crunch and Dragon Tail.
