Flint | Flint made his physical debut in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]''. He noticed Ash's determination as he walked by the [[Sunyshore Gym]], and went on to escort the group directly to [[Volkner]] who was hiding away in the [[Sunyshore Tower]]. After Volkner declined Ash's [[Gym]] challenge, Flint took the group to a café run by his old friend, the [[Proprietor]]. Flint explained that he use to {{pkmn|battle}} the Sunyshore street hoodlums with his {{TP|Flint|Chimchar}} back in the day. He came across Volkner and defeated him in battle, though the next time the pair met, Volkner won. The two soon became rivals and they later became good friends after having a Tag Battle against the Proprietor. After turning 20, Flint left his hometown and eventually became a member of the [[Elite Four]]. At the same time, Volkner became the Sunyshore Gym Leader. | ||

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
- Upon entering the city
- "Yo! Fellow Trainer! Your Pokémon are secure inside their Poké Balls, but there's no masking that aura of serious toughness! Oops, sorry, I should introduce myself. The name's Flint! I'm one of the Pokémon League's Elite Four!"
- "I just had this idea. Maybe you can pull it off. It's about this town's Gym Leader. He's really lost his enthusiasm lately because there've been so few good challengers worth his time. He's so bored, he spends all his time renovating the Gym. And then the blackout happened... That sure didn't help lift his mood. You know where I'm going with this, don't you? I need you to give him a battle that's so hot, it will reignite his passion for battling. I'm counting on you, hotshot!"
- Outside of Sunyshore Gym, before talking to Volkner at the Vista Lighthouse
- "Yo! Hiya! He hasn't come back yet. When he does, you know what you've gotta do. Give him a battle that's so hot, it will reignite his passion for battling! I'm counting on you, hotshot!"
- Outside of Sunyshore Gym, after talking to Volker at the Vista Lighthouse
- "Yo! Hiya! He's finally come back! He seemed to be feeling upbeat, too. I have a hunch that he recognized your toughness right away. I bet he's getting excited over the thought of battling you. Remember what you have to do, hotshot. Give him a battle that's so hot, it will reignite his passion for battling! All right, hotshot! I'll be waiting at the Pokémon League!"
- Before battle
- "Yo Trainer! You had me counting the days on my fingers waiting for you to come. I heard from Volkner what you did in Sunyshore. You managed to light a fire in that guy's heart again. How could you not expect me to look forward to seeing you in battle?
- After sending out last Pokémon
- "I can feel your determination. Your will is overpowering me!"
- When last Pokémon is at critical health
- "This situation... This is heating up! I'm blazing now!"
- Upon being defeated
- "...! I wasn't expecting this! I wasn't looking down on you... But I didn't think for one second that I'd lose! This is fantastic! You and your Pokémon are inspiring!"
- After being defeated
- "...Whew... Burnt right down to cinders..."
- ".....................Keep going..."

- Before battle (rematch)

- "...Volkner."
- "Let's say I'm in a battle, OK? What if I didn't use my Poké Balls? Instead, I can have my guys come in and out of my Afro to battle. That'd bewilder the other guy, huh? Wouldn't that be hilarious?"
- "Hmm..."
- "It's this place. You know how drab the League is? Don't you think the place should be more, you know, festive? With more decorations, awards, and things like that?"
- "Say, hey, Volkner. What do you say we battle here?"

In the anime
Flint was first mentioned in An Elite Meet and Greet! by Lucian, and again in A Trainer and Child Reunion! by Officer Jenny.
Flint made his physical debut in Flint Sparks the Fire!. He noticed Ash's determination as he walked by the Sunyshore Gym, and went on to escort the group directly to Volkner who was hiding away in the Sunyshore Tower. After Volkner declined Ash's Gym challenge, Flint took the group to a café run by his old friend, the Proprietor. Flint explained that he use to battle the Sunyshore street hoodlums with his Chimchar back in the day. He came across Volkner and defeated him in battle, though the next time the pair met, Volkner won. The two soon became rivals and they later became good friends after having a Tag Battle against the Proprietor. After turning 20, Flint left his hometown and eventually became a member of the Elite Four. At the same time, Volkner became the Sunyshore Gym Leader.
However, Flint constantly came back to Sunyshore City to convince Volkner to start battling again. After the latter refused Ash's challenge for a Gym battle, so he battled Ash in Volkner's place and beat Ash's Pikachu, Infernape, and Buizel with his Infernape easily. Flint was glad to see that Volkner was feeling reinvigorated and prepared to challenge Ash.
He appeared again in The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!, where he sat in the grandstands to watch Volkner go up against Ash. The Gym battle was interrupted by Team Rocket after they stole the Sunyshore Tower and caused the city to have a power outage. Flint, Volkner and Ash all jumped onto the tower as Team Rocket were beginning to rocket into the sky, though Flint lost his grip and feel into the ocean below. However, he worked with Brock to provide pedal power to the local Pokémon Center during the crisis. Flint watched as Volkner landed the Sunyshore Tower back on to the ground, and he wished Dawn all the best with her upcoming Contests as she and her friends left Sunyshore.
Flint reappeared in The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!, where he watched Volkner battle Ash. He also appeared in the next episode, where he saved Kenny's Floatzel from Team Rocket and won against Jasmine in an exhibition match. He also revealed that he would be challenging Cynthia for the title of Sinnoh League Champion.
Ash and his friends watched Flint battle Cynthia at the Champion League on TV in Memories are Made of Bliss!. As mentioned by the MC, Flint's Infernape managed to defeat two of Cynthia's Pokémon. However, Flint lost the match after his Infernape was defeated by Cynthia’s Garchomp.
Flint made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
Character
Flint is a supportive friend, and despite all of his success as a member of the Elite Four, he made continuous efforts to reach out to Volkner over the years. He likes to bring out the potential of others and inspire the young generation to achieve their goals.
Flint is passionate about battling, and an intense flare comes over him during a challenge. He tests a challenger's strength and bides his time before retaliating. Flint believes that the best offense is the best defense, and he used this strategy to defeat Ash and later Jasmine of the Olivine Gym. In addition to strategy, in Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port! Flint told Ash that having confidence in one's self is just as critical to being a successful Pokémon Trainer.

Despite the type-disadvantage, Rapidash was able to defeat Empoleon with a Sunny Day/SolarBeam combo. He recalls Rapidash and sends out Drifblim while Hareta sends out Regigigas and Misdreavus.
However, Hareta had no choice but to use Misdreavus as he was disallowed to use two Pokémon at once. Drifblim was able to defeat Misdreavus with Payback but due to it using Skill Swap beforehand, both Pokémon were out. Hareta than uses his Regigigas and Flint calls out Rapidash once again. Regigigas was able to defeat Rapidash with Mega Punch. Flint has one more Pokémon but resigns before even using it, giving Hareta the win.
Later, in Gathering of the Legendary Pokémon, he along with the Gym Leaders and Sinnoh Elite Four head to the Galactic HQ to take on the remaining Team Galactic grunts.

Drifblim was used to finish off Hareta's Misdreavus seeing that Hareta could not use both Misdreavus and Regigigas at the same time as it was against the rules to do so. However, after Drifblim went for an attack, it was stopped by Misdreavus's Skill Swap which resulted in both side's Pokémon being knocked out as Misdreavus used Drifblim's Ability Aftermath from the effect of Skill Swap.
Drifblim's only known move is Payback, and its Ability is Aftermath*. | ||

Trivia
- Although he specializes in Fire types, in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, only two of the five Pokémon he uses are actually Fire-type, with only eight Fire-type moves between them, only four of which are actual attacking moves. Each of Flint's Pokémon knows at least one Fire-type move. In Pokémon Platinum, his entire team consists of his specialty type.
- With only two Pokémon of his specialty type in Diamond and Pearl, he has the lowest number of Pokémon on his team that are of his specialty type of all the Elite Four members.
- Flint's Magmortar is the only Pokémon of a member of the Elite Four to use Seals in Pokémon Platinum. Incidentally, it is used in the Double Battle with Volkner, who uses his Electivire, the only Pokémon of a Gym Leader to have Seals.
- When the player talks to Volkner in the Villa, he reveals that the reason that Flint uses the Fire type is his name.
- Flint is the only member of the Elite Four that has a starter Pokémon.
- Flint is the only member of the Sinnoh Elite Four that doesn't have a Pokémon in any of his teams that knows Stone Edge.
- In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Shauntal mentions Flint in one of her pre-battle quotes from her novels. She writes that his hairstyle "would be great with Head Charge," and that he is commanding a Pokémon to use Overheat.
- Flint has the least number of Pokémon (excluding Lv X cards) cards at four compared to the typical five cards like all of the other Sinnoh Elite Four members
