Pirate Grenadiers are Pirate Troopers equipped with experimental grenade launchers that fire grenades which explode upon impact.
The launcher is, metaphorically, a double-edged sword. It packs brute force, but disables use of their assault rifles. The grenade launchers also have a slow rate of fire and have a high blast radius, which can harm or even kill the Pirate if fired at close range. Because of this, they instead rely on a tackling body-slam technique if Samus gets close, and prefer to keep their distance if possible.
Grenadiers are located in the Space Pirates' complex in the Agon Wastes after Samus' first fight with Dark Samus, specifically, in the Command Center. Pirate Grenadiers teleport here upon Samus' return to the room.
Despite carrying a Photonic Power Scythe, they use the barrel of their grenade launcher for blunt melee attacks at close range. They are one of the only two encountered varieties of Space Pirate (excluding Darklings) in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes that can respawn outside of scripted appearances, the other being Pirate Aerotroopers.
