Learn how to defeat Ice Gym Leader Grusha in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. This guide covers Grusha's Pokémon, weaknesses, and recommended strategies for victory.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Reach Glaseado Gym: Fast travel to Montenevera, head south out of the arch, follow the path, cross the bridge, and ascend the hill to Glaseado Gym atop Glaseado Mountain. The Pokémon here are Level 48.

  2. 2
    Recommended Team: Aim for Pokémon Level 48 or higher. Utilize Fire, Rock, or Fighting-type Pokémon, as they deal x2 damage to Ice-types. A strong Fire-type is highly recommended due to Frosmoth's x4 weakness to Fire.
  3. 3
    Countering Grusha's Pokémon:
    • Frosmoth (Ice/Bug): Weak to Fire-type attacks (x4 damage). Can use Tailwind and Blizzard (chance to freeze).
  4. 4
    Beartic (Ice): Weak to Fire, Rock, Fighting. Knows Earthquake (Ground) and Aqua Jet (Water), which are super-effective against Fire-types. Also has Icicle Crash (chance to flinch). Consider Steel or Rock-types if your Fire-type is at risk.
  5. 5
    Cetitan (Ice): Weak to Fire, Rock, Fighting. A tanky Pokémon with Liquidation (Water, lowers defense) and Ice-type moves (Ice Spinner, Ice Shard). Use Fire or Ground-types and healing items. Terastallizing can help deal extra damage.
  6. 6
    Altaria (Dragon/Flying, Ice Tera-type): Weak to Ice (x2 damage from its moves), Dragon (x2 damage from its moves), and Rock (x2 damage). Altaria uses Hurricane (Flying, chance to confuse), Moonblast (Fairy, high damage), Dragon Blast (Dragon, rarely used), and Ice Beam (Ice, chance to freeze). Avoid Grass and Dragon-types due to its Flying/Dragon typing and Ice Tera-type.
Tips
  • Fire-type Pokémon are excellent against Frosmoth due to its x4 weakness.
  • Be aware that Beartic and Cetitan have Water and Ground-type moves that can hit Fire-types hard.
  • Altaria's Ice Tera-type makes it vulnerable to Rock-type attacks.
  • Consider using healing potions to manage damage, especially against Cetitan.
  • Terastallizing your Pokémon can provide an advantage, particularly against Cetitan.
  • Ice Gym Badge
  • TM124 Ice Spinner
  • Ability to catch any level Pokémon, and they will obey you.
