=====Initial battle=====
{{main|Shauntal (Masters)}}
*Before battle
Shauntal forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Chandelure}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Shauntal became a playable sync pair since the game's release.
:''"'Eyes brimming with dark flame, this man rejected everything other than himself in order to bring about one singular justice...' That's part of a novel I'm writing. I was inspired by the [[N|challenger who was just here]], and somehow I got a little sad... Excuse me. You're a challenger, right? I'm the [[Elite Four]]'s {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon user, Shauntal, and I shall be your opponent."''


*During battle (the first non-KO hit)
Shauntal has also made notable appearances in the game's Main Stories, the [[PML Arc]], and the [[Villain Arc]].
:''"Beginnings are important, whether in a good novel or a good battle!"''


*After sending out last Pokémon
{{PairDex/h|Ghost}}
:''"It seems this is the beginning of my final chapter."''

*During battle (less than half HP)

:''"I feel we're about to turn the page to the epilogue of this story."''


*When defeated
==Gallery==
:''"Wow. I'm dumbstruck! I know a lot of words, but right now I can't figure out how to say this. Perhaps, if the feeling I'm having now is put into words, it will be trapped there. So let me say this... My feeling is you're a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}!"''


*After being defeated
====Raw TCG artwork====
:''"S-sorry! First, I must apologize to my Pokémon... I'm really sorry you had a bad experience because of me! Oh! It's not your fault! This is how battles always are. Even in light of that, I'm still one of the Elite Four!"''

=====Rematch=====
==In the manga==
*Before battle (five variants)
===Pokémon Adventures===
:''"'The Trainer's thoughts joined with the Pokémon's mind, and a lustrous {{m|Aqua Ring}} unfurled...' That's part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"''
[[File:Unova Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Shauntal in Pokémon Adventures]]
:''"'"Do you know {{m|Thunderbolt}}?" was his first greeting to me. It wasn't until after we battled that I learned his name was [[Volkner]].' That's part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"''
Shauntal is first seen as a stowaway on the [[Battle Subway]] in ''[[PS490|A Stormy Time in the Battle Subway]]''. There, she meets {{adv|White}} and explains to her that she is there to find inspiration for a new story. They are soon caught up in a battle between the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Thundurus}} and {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Tornadus}}. Shauntal reveals to White that she has been searching for them so she can find the inspiration she wanted. Shauntal uses her {{p|Jellicent}} to provoke the two Pokémon into fighting even further, much to White's shock. Despite her attempts to provoke them, the two Pokémon are calmed down and taken away by {{DL|Forces of Nature (Adventures)|Landorus}}. The two then go to board the train, but Shauntal seems worried because she saw [[Giallo|someone]] throw Poké Balls at the three Pokémon just as they were leaving.
:''"'The tiny but strong Pokémon looked up at its Trainer and saw the seeds of doubt taking root as together they faced their toughest opponent yet. The Pokémon sounded a soft cry of reassurance, and the battle began...' That was part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"''
:''"'This world doesn't exist just for you. And I'll tell you why...' That was part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"''
:''"'I have no idea what day it is today, but I will never forget it for the rest of my life.' That was part of a novel I wrote. I absolutely love writing about the close bonds between the Trainers who come here and the Pokémon they train. Could I use you and your Pokémon as a subject?"''


*During battle (the first non-KO hit)
When the Pokémon League begins, she and Grimsley travel via Shauntal's {{p|Golurk}} to meet up with their fellow Elite Four members. Although worried about Alder's recent defeat at the hands of {{adv|N}}, Shauntal expresses glee at the idea of the battle against Team Plasma being a good idea for her next novel. The four then watch as spectators for the tournament before their battles can begin. Although the tournament is won by {{adv|Black}}, the event is interrupted by Team Plasma, who attacks the stadium by surrounding it with [[N's Castle]]. Shauntal uses her Golurk to try and confront N at the top of the castle, but they are attacked by [[Colress|Hood Man]], who uses Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus against them to try and figure out how to activate the three Pokémon's Therian Formes. After gaining sufficient information, Hood Man escaped, taking the Pokémon with him.
:''"The beginning is always important for both battles and novels."''

Shauntal in Pokémon Adventures

Shauntal is first seen as a stowaway on the Battle Subway in A Stormy Time in the Battle Subway. There, she meets White and explains to her that she is there to find inspiration for a new story. They are soon caught up in a battle between the Legendary Pokémon Thundurus and Tornadus. Shauntal reveals to White that she has been searching for them so she can find the inspiration she wanted. Shauntal uses her Jellicent to provoke the two Pokémon into fighting even further, much to White's shock. Despite her attempts to provoke them, the two Pokémon are calmed down and taken away by Landorus. The two then go to board the train, but Shauntal seems worried because she saw someone throw Poké Balls at the three Pokémon just as they were leaving.

When the Pokémon League begins, she and Grimsley travel via Shauntal's Golurk to meet up with their fellow Elite Four members. Although worried about Alder's recent defeat at the hands of N, Shauntal expresses glee at the idea of the battle against Team Plasma being a good idea for her next novel. The four then watch as spectators for the tournament before their battles can begin. Although the tournament is won by Black, the event is interrupted by Team Plasma, who attacks the stadium by surrounding it with N's Castle. Shauntal uses her Golurk to try and confront N at the top of the castle, but they are attacked by Hood Man, who uses Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus against them to try and figure out how to activate the three Pokémon's Therian Formes. After gaining sufficient information, Hood Man escaped, taking the Pokémon with him.
