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,[3] 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.[3] 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.
Pokémon
Grusha will Terastallize his Altaria at the first opportunity.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series
Grusha first appeared in silhouette alongside the other Gym Leaders of Paldea in Welcome to Naranja Academy! during Clavell's explanation of how Tera Training works.
Grusha debuted properly in Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End. 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 Tera Training course.
In HZ062, Grusha was seen watching Roy and Ryme's Tera Training battle in the middle of the crowd. After the battle ended, he left silently.

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.
