;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 HP loss)
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."''

* When defeated

:''"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
:''"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!"''
 
* General afterword
:''"Every person who works with Pokémon has a Pokémon story to tell. I've found that stories where people and Pokémon help each other out are far more interesting than stories about only people, or only Pokémon!"''
 
* If defeated last
:''"Challenger, if you defeat the entire Elite Four of the [[Unova League|Pokémon League]], you can go on to challenge the {{pkmn|Champion}}. And you have earned that right. Return to the plaza in the center and check the statue."''

:''"'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?"''
:''"'"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?"''
:''"'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?"''

:''"'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?"''

:''"Oh... I guess it's time to start my last chapter."''
 
* During battle (less than half HP)
:''"The epilogue of this story is about to begin."''
 
* When defeated
:''"Wow. I'm stunned. For all the words I know, I can't figure out how to say this... Putting my feelings into words would just be a trap. All I will say is I feel you're even greater than I thought!"''

:''"First impressions are everything!"''
 
* After sending out last Pokémon
:''"It's not over yet! I'll finish it my way!"''
 
* During battle (less than half HP)
:''"I hope for a good ending! I hate endings that leave a bitter taste in one's mouth!"''
 
* When defeated
:''"Do you ever feel at a loss for words when something greatly moves you? To tell the truth... I'm a writer, but right now I'm having trouble putting my feelings into words. You were just that impressive!"''
 
* After being defeated
:''"My Pokémon and the challenger's Pokémon. Everyone battled even though they were hurt... Thank you."''
 
* General afterword
:''"Fortitude is needed if you're going to battle, don't you think? Because both you and your opponent get hurt. But if you don't understand the pain, you'll focus on the result and forget about the bonds with your Pokémon. That's why I want to write passages full of heart and soul in my novels."''

:''""The [[Agatha|woman]] who uses Ghost types, and the [[Bertha|woman]] who uses Ground types. I couldn't ask the reason why their names and appearances are so similar."

:''"All the Pokémon on both sides battled so bravely. Even though they got hurt... Thank you."''
 
* General afterword
:''"It's important to be tough and resilient when you battle, don't you think? You have to accept that both sides will get hurt. You have to understand that the pain of losing is a natural outcome. If you just focus on winning, you can forget that the bond between you and your Pokémon is the most important thing. I try to focus on that bond in my novels.

Shauntal is first seen as a stowaway on 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.

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.

==In the TCG==
[[File:ShauntalParadoxRift243.jpg|200px|thumb|Ultra rare print of Shauntal]]
{{main|Shauntal (Paradox Rift 174)}}
'''Shauntal''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Raging Surf}} subset and the English {{TCG|Paradox Rift}} expansion, with artwork by [[yuu]]. A {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by [[En Morikura]] was released in the same sets. It allows players to flip a coin and, if they flip heads, switch in one of their opponent's Benched Pokémon to the Active Spot; or, switch their own Active Pokémon with one of their Benched Pokémon if they flip tails.
Shauntal was previously featured in the artwork of the [[Full Art card (TCG)|Full Art]] [[Secret card (TCG)|Secret]] printing of [[Chandelure (Lost Origin 26)|Chandelure]] from the [[Lost Origin]] expansion, originally released in Japan as part of the Trainer's Gallery collection within the [[Battle Region (TCG)|Battle Region]] subset. {{-}}

In the manga

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.

In the TCG

Ultra rare print of Shauntal
Main article: Shauntal (Paradox Rift 174)

Shauntal was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Raging Surf subset and the English Paradox Rift expansion, with artwork by yuu. A Full Art ultra rare version with artwork by En Morikura was released in the same sets. It allows players to flip a coin and, if they flip heads, switch in one of their opponent's Benched Pokémon to the Active Spot; or, switch their own Active Pokémon with one of their Benched Pokémon if they flip tails.

Shauntal was previously featured in the artwork of the Full Art Secret printing of Chandelure from the Lost Origin expansion, originally released in Japan as part of the Trainer's Gallery collection within the Battle Region subset.

Trivia

  • According to an interview with Yusuke Ohmura in Nintendo Dream, Shauntal's theme is based on black cats. She is referred to as being seen as a catgirl and the ribbon around her neck is shaped like a cat's head (the brooch being the nose).[3]
  • Shauntal is the only member of the Unova Elite Four who does not share a specialty type with that of an Indigo Plateau Elite Four member from Generations II and IV. Instead, she shares her specialty type with an Indigo Plateau Elite Four member from Generations I and III: Agatha.
  • Shauntal is left-handed.
  • Shauntal is the only member of the Unova Elite Four who changes a Pokémon in her initial team between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2, swapping out her Jellicent for a Drifblim. This coincides with the introduction of Marlon, whose highest-leveled Pokémon is Jellicent.
  • Shauntal shares her Japanese name with that of the anime-exclusive town "Cremini Town", which is also called "Shikimi".
  • Shauntal being a writer and a Ghost-type specialist may be a play on the term "ghostwriter".
