From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Gaeric (Japanese: ハマレンゲ Hamarenge) is a warden tasked with watching over a special Avalugg found in the Alabaster Icelands. He is a member of the Pearl Clan. He specializes in Ice-type Pokémon.
He bears some resemblance to Wulfric, sporting a similar pompadour and similar hair style as Wulfric's mustache, but the relationship between the two, if any, is unknown.
In the core series
Gaeric is first introduced to the player in the Avalugg's Legacy region of Alabaster Icelands after Lord Avalugg has gone into a Frenzied state. He doesn't see the harm in Avalugg being strengthened by a Frenzy, believing Avalugg will do no harm to others, but he agrees to go along with the player's will if the player can prove their strength in battle.
Pokémon
Like most members of the Pearl Clan, Gaeric does not keep his Pokémon in a Poké Ball and will send them all out at once against the player.

Quotes
- "Let’s begin with some proper introductions!"
- "I am Gaeric. I serve as one of the Pearl Clan’s wardens."
- "And you must be [Player], right? Of the Galaxy Team."
- "Answer me this, would you? On what grounds do you come here seeking to quell Lord Avalugg?"
Trivia
- After being defeated at Avalugg's Legacy, Gaeric says, "Outstanding! I'm tough as an iceberg, but you smashed me through and through!" This is the same quote Wulfric uses in Pokémon X and Y upon being defeated.
