Grusha is a character appearing in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. Once a professional snowboarder, he is now the Ice-type Gym Leader of Glaseado Gym. He is one of the strongest Paldean Gym Leaders.

Appearance[]

Grusha is a slim young man with smooth, pale skin and a slightly androgynous appearance. He has icy blue hair with two overhanging fringes and a curly bang. His eyes are blue as well, with yellow shading below the pupils and long eyelashes, giving him a feminine look.

Befitting his type specialty, Grusha wears an outfit that's tailored for cold weather. It consists of a yellow and black coat with spiky shoulders, blue pants, and dark blue gloves. On his feet, he wears thick blue boots with light blue toes, black soles, and yellow fluff at the tops. The fluff matches his coat, and he additionally has x-shaped boot laces in the same color.

Grusha also wears a long red and blue scarf with a Poké Ball-shaped bauble at the end. The scarf usually covers his face and mouth, but he pulls it down occasionally while talking.

Personality[]

Grusha is a coolheaded person most of the time. He typically keeps his emotions pushed down, rarely if ever showing them. However, when the heat of battle gets to him, he begins to show the feelings that he buries within himself. He enjoys snowboarding, but was forced to give up being a professional snowboarder following a grievous injury and becoming a Gym Leader.

Grusha is extremely stoic due to an undisclosed injury that ended his snowboarding career and appears to suffer from a lack of self-esteem as shown during his rematch, where he remarks that if he was dismissed as a Gym Leader, he would have nothing else to offer. After losing in his rematch, he realizes that true passion comes from overcoming all odds and he resolves to better himself as a Gym Leader and not hide behind excuses.

Etymology[]

Grusha's name comes from груша (grusha, Russian for "pear") and possibly "glacier," referring to his Ice-type specialty.

Trivia[]

  • Much like Blaine moving to Seafoam Islands in Generation II, Grusha's Gym is not located in a town or a city.
  • Grusha continues the trend of Ice type trainers being cold and uncompromising to the point of appearing anti-social. This could be a reference to how Ice type is very powerful offensively, but has the worst defenses as it only resists itself, yet is one of few types that can take down the powerful Dragon types.
  • Between his original and rematch his altaria changes gender.
  • also he looks like a girl
