The competitive view

Grand Capricorne 145D is a Hasbro-exclusive Beyblade from the Team Excalibur Set, pairing the Capricorne Clear Wheel with the Grand Metal Wheel, 145 Track, and Defense (D) Bottom.

The Capricorne Clear Wheel is unremarkable but can add minor Smash Attack if nothing better is available; Grand is thicker but lighter and weaker defensively than the second Earth mold, offering mediocre Smash Attack outclassed by wheels like Flash, VariAres, and Blitz; 145 works well in Stamina builds such as Burn Bull 145WD and in the Attack combo MF Pegasis 145RF; D is recommended for Stamina at 170-height or above, such as Phantom Cancer 230D or TH170D.

Verdict as the draft gives it: Grand is called a mediocre Defense wheel outclassed by Death, Wing, and Duo, and AD145 is preferred over 145 for Stamina; the only real reason to buy this Beyblade is the D tip, which is available more cheaply elsewhere, so it is recommended for collectors only.
