| Best Team To Beat Grusha When Starting With Sprigatito | ||
|---|---|---|
 Meowscarada
(Lv. 48) |
Talonflame
(Lv. 48) |
Ceruledge
(Lv. 48) |
Meowscarada's Grass type means that it is weak against Grusha's Ice type Pokemon. Let Meowscarada take the backseat for this battle, and lead with Talonflame or Armarouge/Ceruledge to hit Grusha's Pokemon with Super Effective Fire type moves.
| Best Team To Beat Grusha When Starting With Fuecoco | ||
|---|---|---|
 Skeledirge
(Lv. 48) |
Talonflame
(Lv. 48) |
Armarouge
(Lv. 48) |
Skeledirge's signature move Torch Song increases its Special Attack after every use, so use this move against Frosmoth who is 4x weak Against Fire Type moves. Consecutive use of Torch Song should guarantee an easy win against Grusha, but keep Talonflame and Armarouge/Ceruledge in your party as backup.
| Best Team To Beat Grusha When Starting With Quaxly | ||
|---|---|---|
 Quaquaval
(Lv. 48) |
Talonflame
(Lv. 48) |
Ceruledge
(Lv. 48) |
Quaquaval's part-Fighting typing allows it to resist Ice type moves and access Fighting Type moves which are Super Effective against Ice type Pokemon. Using Fighting type TMs on Quaquaval to learn moves such as Close Combat and Brick Break will allow you to make quick work of Grusha's Ice type Pokemon. Keep in mind to switch out Quaquaval against Altaria since it has Access to Moonblast and Hurricane, which are both Super Effective against Quaquaval.
Before you have the chance to face Grusha, you must first pass the Snow Slope Run Challenge. In this test, you need to slide down the mountain, and pass through the checkpoints within the time limit of one and half minutes. Once you successfully clear the test you may challenge Grusha.
Snow Slope Run: Ice Gym Challenge Walkthrough
| Pokemon | Ability |
|---|---|
|
Cetitan
|
Thick Fat |
Cetitan's Ability Thick Fat allows it to reduce incoming damage from Fire and Ice type moves by half. When attacking Cetitan, use Fighting type moves to bypass this ability and hit it with Super Effective damage for a swift victory.
As Grusha's Pokemon are in their evolved forms, your best odds at defeating Grusha are to raise your Pokemon to Lv. 48 or higher, evolving those you can in the process.
Players can Terastallize their Pokemon at the very start of Gym Battes. We recommend you take advantage of Fire Tera Types, as it will allow you to get easier one hit knock outs on Grusha's Pokemon.

Grusha's Frosmoth knows the move Tailwind which increases his team's Speed for four turns. Having Grusha's Pokemon attack first can be lethal, especially with moves like Blizzard that have high base damage. Counter this early on using Fire type moves which are 4x Super Effective against Frosmoth
| Pokemon | Ability |
|---|---|
|
Cetitan
|
Thick Fat |
Cetitan's Ability Thick Fat allows it to reduce incoming damage from Fire and Ice type moves by half. When attacking Cetitan, use Steel or Fighting type moves to bypass this ability and hit it with Super Effective damage for a swift victory.
Post Game Content: What to Do After the Story
Grusha's name could be a possible translation from Russian, translating into the fruit Pear in English. The coat that he wears does bear a vague resemblance to the fruit both in shape and in color. His appearance, with his scarf covering part of his face, makes him appear androgynous.
Grusha was a former professional snowboarder, but his skills in Pokemon battles have lead him to become the full-time Gym Leader of the Glaseado Gym.
He is usually laid back and coolheaded in most situations, but whenever he gets caught up in a heated Pokemon battle, Grusha tends to unleash the emotions he usually holds back from.
