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.
