Grusha appeared properly in [[HZ056]]. He watched [[Liko]] and [[Katy]] battling against [[Rika]] and later exchanged brief words with Liko about her spirit during said battle. In [[HZ057|the following episode]], Grusha was assigned as Liko's second opponent as part of the [[Terastal Training]] course.

In [[HZ063]], Grusha was with his Cetoddle when he met with Liko again after witnessing her bobsledding on another Cetoddle, Grusha was unamused about Liko having fun before her test and thought she wasn't taking it seriously. It was soon revealed that in the past Grusha used to be a pro Snowboarder but was forced to retire early from an injury, he then focused on his Gym leader duties with a cold hearted attitude, becoming Paldea's strongest Gym leader. Grusha and Liko's battle soon began with Cetitian against Floragato, upon seeing the battle was going nowhere Liko swapped Floragato out for Hattrem but despite that Cetitan still defeated Hattrem, forcing Liko to send Floragato out again. After Cetitan was choked and incapacitated by Magical leaf, Grusha swapped it out for Altaria. Altaria unleashed many Moonblasts which Floragato barely dodged. Liko then had Floragato bring down Altaria with Acrobatics which slightly impressed Grusha. Liko soon subsequently Terastalized her Floragato, Grusha doing the same with his Altaria, a clash of Ice beam and Magical leaf followed which resulted in Floragto's defeat and Liko's loss. Grusha then failed Liko in her implentation test before walking off.

Liko and Grusha's battle commenced soon afterwards, but despite Liko doing her best, she still lost without defeating either of his Pokémon. Afterwards, Grusha declared that Liko had failed her test, as he refused to pass anyone who couldn't defeat him. He also told her he wasn't willing to give her a [[rematch]] before leaving.
Grusha reappeared in [[HZ065]], where it was revealed that Friede contacted him to help search for Liko. He helped Roy and Dot fend off Sidian and Coral's Pokemon with his Altaria, forcing the Explorers admins to retreat. Afterwards he commanded his Altaria to destroy a rock that separated Liko from her friends, finding Liko and Floragato and reuniting them with their friends. After Liko thanked Grusha for his help, Grusha soon left on his way.

Considered the strongest Gym Leader in the [[Paldea League]], Grusha is a perfectionist, not allowing mistakes in his assessments and battles. Grusha is considered the pride of [[Glaseado Mountain]], both for his achievements as a snowboarder and as a Gym Leader.
Although he partially recovered from the accident, Grusha eventually retired from competition, focusing solely on his career as a Gym Leader. His reason for leaving the sport remained a mystery, although some locals believed it was because he could no longer achieve the same results as before.
Despite his cold and strict personality, Grusha is a kind and compassionate person deep down, as he was willing to answer Friede's calls to help find Liko and saved Roy and Dot from the Explorers admins as seen in [[HZ065]].

Grusha (Japanese: グルーシャ Grusha) is the Gym Leader of Glaseado Mountain's Gym, known officially as the Glaseado Gym. He specializes in Ice-type Pokémon.

In the core series games

Before being the Gym Leader of Glaseado Gym, Grusha used to be a professional snowboarder,[2] and the second best in the world — at one point having won six times in a row at Paldean major competitions. He was forced to retire from the sport after sustaining an injury from an accident. He usually keeps his cool, but will show his hidden emotions in the heat of battle.[2] Because being a Gym Leader is the only thing he has left, he is overly worried about maintaining his position, creating some discomfort around Geeta. After the player defeats him in a rematch during a Gym Inspection, Grusha regains his former determined side, intrigued by the player's skills.

In addition to the Gym Badge, Grusha gives out TM124 (Ice Spinner) after defeating him.

In The Indigo Disk, Grusha can be invited to Blueberry Academy as a special coach.

Grusha will Terastallize his Altaria at the first opportunity.

Grusha in Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Grusha first appeared in silhouette alongside the other Gym Leaders of Paldea in HZ046 during Clavell's explanation of how Terastal Training works.

Grusha debuted properly in HZ056. He watched Liko and Katy battling against Rika and later exchanged brief words with Liko about her spirit during said battle. In the following episode, Grusha was assigned as Liko's second opponent as part of the Terastal Training course.

In HZ062, Grusha was seen watching Roy and Ryme's Terastal Training battle in the middle of the crowd. After the battle ended, he left silently.

In HZ063, Grusha was seen with his Cetoddle when he met with Liko again after witnessing her bobsledding on another Cetoddle. Grusha was unamused about Liko having fun before her test and thought she wasn't taking it seriously. It was soon revealed that in the past, Grusha used to be a pro snowboarder, but was forced to retire early from an injury. He then focused on his Gym Leader duties with a cold-hearted attitude, becoming Paldea's strongest Gym Leader.

Liko and Grusha's battle commenced soon afterwards, but despite Liko doing her best, she still lost without defeating either of his Pokémon. Afterwards, Grusha declared that Liko had failed her test, as he refused to pass anyone who couldn't defeat him. He also told her he wasn't willing to give her a rematch before leaving.

Grusha reappeared in HZ065, where it was revealed that Friede contacted him to help search for Liko. He helped Roy and Dot fend off Sidian and Coral's Pokemon with his Altaria, forcing the Explorers admins to retreat. Afterwards he commanded his Altaria to destroy a rock that separated Liko from her friends, finding Liko and Floragato and reuniting them with their friends. After Liko thanked Grusha for his help, Grusha soon left on his way.

Considered the strongest Gym Leader in the Paldea League, Grusha is a perfectionist, not allowing mistakes in his assessments and battles. Grusha is considered the pride of Glaseado Mountain, both for his achievements as a snowboarder and as a Gym Leader.

Although he partially recovered from the accident, Grusha eventually retired from competition, focusing solely on his career as a Gym Leader. His reason for leaving the sport remained a mystery, although some locals believed it was because he could no longer achieve the same results as before.

Despite his cold and strict personality, Grusha is a kind and compassionate person deep down, as he was willing to answer Friede's calls to help find Liko and saved Roy and Dot from the Explorers admins as seen in HZ065.

Main article: Grusha (Paldea Evolved 184)

Grusha 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 Snow Hazard expansion and the English Paldea Evolved expansion, with artwork by GIDORA. An ultra rare version with artwork by the same artist, and a special illustration rare version of the card with artwork by DOM were released in the same sets. It allows players to draw cards until they have 5 cards in their hand, unless they have no Energy attached to any of their Pokémon; in which case the player draws cards until they have 7 cards in their hand.

Trivia

  • Grusha is the first Gym Leader since Blaine in Generations II and IV whose Gym is not located in a town or city.
  • Grusha's Altaria's Ice Tera Type may allude to icy clouds in the skies, considering Glaseado Mountain's high altitude.
  • Grusha's Altaria is the only Pokémon used in a Gym Battle in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet to have a full moveset.
  • Grusha's Trainer ID is 209896. He has the same ID as Clavell.
  • Grusha and Pryce share similarities in the anime as both are Ice-type Gym Leaders with cold-hearted attitudes. In their pasts, they both sustained injuries before becoming Gym Leaders.
