It's used in every training hall scene unless it's a dual between two characters. But it doesn't make any sense. Actually, it does. It's safer than Grimms, and more customizable. Say you want to train against only ranged enemies, you fight ranged-only Robots. You want to practice full-melee, then fight melee robots.

Grimm are hard to capture (supposedly), and you can't customize your training beyond what kind of Grimm to fight against. Not to mention the strongest and biggest Grimms may well be almost impossible to capture. And, if they are, they would be burned quickly through training, and they can't simply get more Grimm just like that.

And it's more effective than a stationary not-responding dummy, don't you think?
