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.
Pokémon
Grusha will Terastallize his Altaria at the first opportunity.

In the anime
Main 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 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 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 battle in the middle of the crowd. After the battle ended, he left silently.
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.
Liko and Grusha's battle commenced soon afterwards, but despite Liko doing her best, she still lost. Afterwards, Grusha declared that Liko had failed her test, told her not to have a rematch, and then left.
Character
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.

Altaria is Grusha's second known Pokémon and his ace in battle. It went up against Liko's Floragato after Cetitan was swapped out. It mostly had the advantage of flight until Floragato grabbed its legs with her vine and brought it crashing down with Acrobatics. Both Altaria and Floragato were soon Terastallized by their respective Trainers. A clash between Terastal-boosted attacks followed, which eventually resulted in Floragato's defeat, causing Liko to lose the battle.

Cetitan is Grusha's third known Pokémon. It was used during Liko's Terastal Training test battle against him, taking on her Floragato, who was swapped out for Hattrem. Hattrem put up a decent fight and dealt some damage to it, but Cetitian ultimately overpowered and defeated her. It then went up against Floragato once again, but this time, it was incapacitated when it choked on Magical Leaf. Cetitan was then swapped out in favor of Altaria.
Cetitan's known moves are Icicle Spear, Ice Spinner, and Liquidation.
