'''Giima''' (Japanese: '''ギーマ''' ''Giima'') is a {{pkmn|master}} {{type2|Dark}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Isshu]] [[Elite Four]].
'''Grimsley''' (Japanese: '''ギーマ''' ''Gīma'') is a {{type|Dark}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Unova]] [[Elite Four]].
 
==In the core series games==
In {{game4|5}}, Grimsley appears as an [[Elite Four]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} of [[Unova]]. He is the son of a distinguished family that fell into ruin. As a result, he developed a gambling addiction.


==In the games==
Grimsley, having stepped down as an Elite Four member, reappears in {{game4|7}} at {{rt|15|Alola}}, where he assists the {{player}} by registering {{p|Sharpedo}} into their [[Poké Ride|Ride Pager]]. He also participates as a Trainer in the [[Battle Tree]]. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Grimsley is an accomplished [[Mantine Surf|Mantine Surfer]], where he competes under the name '''Big G''' (Japanese: '''ビッグG''' ''Big G'') and holds a high ranking on the leaderboards of all four islands' beaches before the player has a chance to beat the records. He is noted to have developed skills for the sport surprisingly quickly, believing that it couldn't be much different from riding a Sharpedo. [[Samson Oak]] struggles to best his scores and views him as a rival — while Grimsley tends to hold the second-place position at the various beaches, Samson is usually the person in third place.
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Giima appears as an [[Elite Four]] Trainer of [[Isshu]].  His appearance seems to be inspired by vampires, backed up by his ominous candlelit room, styled with influence from vampire backdrop such as Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Grimsley first appears on {{rt|4|Unova}} in disguise, where he plays a game of [[card flip]] with the {{tc|Worker}}s there in order to give them something to do on their breaks. He quickly gets acquainted with {{adv|Black}} and challenges him to a game that involves guessing where the local {{p|Drilbur}} will pop up. When a Worker falls into a hole created by the Drilbur, Grimsley reveals that the person is an impostor in disguise, as Grimsley had told the Workers not to go on the side they were playing the game on. Grimsley battles the man and easily manages to win. He then removes the impostor's disguise, revealing the person to be a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}. Grimsley reveals to Black who he truly is and decides to have a battle with him, with the conditions that whoever loses has to give up something precious. Before Black can answer, he faints from mental stress at the thought of losing his Gym Badges and not being able to qualify for the League. Amused, Grimsley decides takes his leave, but he also binds up the Plasma Grunt and leaves a card instructing who reads it to punish the Grunt.
When the Pokémon League begins, he and [[Shauntal]] travel via Shauntal's {{p|Golurk}} to meet up with their fellow Elite Four members. When discussing what to do with Team Plasma, Grimsley declares that unless they attack first, he will not defend, because it's not his style. The four then watch as spectators for the tournament before their battles can begin. Although the tournament is won by {{adv|Black}}, the event is interrupted by Team Plasma, who attacks the stadium by surrounding it with [[N's Castle]]. The Elite Four travel on Shauntal's Golurk to try and confront {{adv|N}} at the top of the castle, but they are attacked by [[Colress|Hood Man]], who uses {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} against them to try and figure out how to activate the three Pokémon's [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Formes]]. Grimsley leaves the others to take care of three Legendary Pokémon while he goes to face Hood Man himself. The two battle each other for an extended period of time, but Hood Man eventually manages to escape using a {{p|Genesect|Pokémon}} Grimsley could not see properly.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Giima uses a male {{p|Zuruzukin}} upon battling him the first time. It is then replaced with a female Zuruzukin upon battling him a second time.
* According to an interview with [[Yusuke Ohmura]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', Grimsley's design is themed on both {{wp|vampire}}s (specifically {{wp|Dracula}} himself) and gambling. While his clothes are meant to look refined, the blue-black and red color scheme is a reference to the colors of the {{wp|roulette}}.<ref>[http://blog.livedoor.jp/shellspider/archives/696210.html#more ShellSpider's blog entry]</ref>
**Notably, {{p|Sharpedo}}, who is in Zuruzukin's slot in subsequent battles, is the only male Pokémon on Giima's team, meaning that only the first Pokémon in Giima's party is male while the rest are female.
* Lepardas is the only non dual-type pokemon that Giima uses in battle

Grimsley (Japanese: ギーマ Gīma) is a Dark-type Trainer and member of the Unova Elite Four.

In the core series games

In Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, Grimsley appears as an Elite Four Trainer of Unova. He is the son of a distinguished family that fell into ruin. As a result, he developed a gambling addiction.

Grimsley, having stepped down as an Elite Four member, reappears in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon at Route 15, where he assists the player by registering Sharpedo into their Ride Pager. He also participates as a Trainer in the Battle Tree. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Grimsley is an accomplished Mantine Surfer, where he competes under the name Big G (Japanese: ビッグG Big G) and holds a high ranking on the leaderboards of all four islands' beaches before the player has a chance to beat the records. He is noted to have developed skills for the sport surprisingly quickly, believing that it couldn't be much different from riding a Sharpedo. Samson Oak struggles to best his scores and views him as a rival — while Grimsley tends to hold the second-place position at the various beaches, Samson is usually the person in third place.

Trivia

  • According to an interview with Yusuke Ohmura in Nintendo Dream, Grimsley's design is themed on both vampires (specifically Dracula himself) and gambling. While his clothes are meant to look refined, the blue-black and red color scheme is a reference to the colors of the roulette.[3]
