Do you like Grusha?
I kinda like Grusha. I thought his character design was original. He has an androgynous, almost elfin look with the shoulder-length ice blue hair and the most magical sea green eyes ever.
His personality was also interesting. Because he is wearing winter clothing that look so soft and warm, so I mistakenly thought he was going be gentle, shy perhaps but i wasn't prepared for him to speak cynically to the player. Even though he was mildly amused watching you snowboard, he is brutally honest that he expects you to fail in battle. His dialogue is harsh to direct at a school girl/boy, but at the same time I think it's apparent that he is not saying these things for malicious reasons, but because he is trying save you from greaterpain, or so he thinks. Maybe he suffered some experiences as an athlete or in battle when he was younger that were so painful they have made him jaded?
What did you think of his team?
I thought he was hard. He had some good pokemon like Ceititan and Frosmoth, but the thing that made him a challenge for me was the level gap between his pokemon and mine. He was either my 3rd or 4th gym, none of my party pokemon were more than level 35, and they were not all evolved and had typical mid-game moves, but his pokemon were fully-evolved and almost level 50 with powerful attacks like earthquake, hurricane and blizzard. I was startled by the level jump since this was the gym that the pokemon center nurse recommended to me. She has quite a sense of humor.
As soon as i saw his team i reset the game to give my teammates all my rare and exp candy to lessen this gap. I lost most of ny team and had to use healing items, but eventually we did win, if clutch. Hardest part was taking down the tera ice altaria. It's movepool as a dragon gave it some coverage moves i wasn't prepared to counter like moonblast.
Would you have given him any different Pokemon?
Assuming that he is designed to be more of a late game opponent i think his team is appropriate for the 7th or 8th gym. The only thing i would change is giving some of his pokemon an extra move. Not all of them have 4 moves, and i think by that stage of game a gym leader should have a complete moveset, even though he would not be the first end game trainer to use 3.
How do you feel about his gym challenge?
I thought it was fun. I was grateful that i didn't have to search long for a person, pokemon or item to complete the quest, and could hop right into an easy enough, but still cool little snowboarding minigame, riding down the slope of the mountain. It was a nice change of style. Something that could have made it especially memorable i think though would be if you could ride on any pokemon that could carry you, and not only Miraidon or Koraidon.

I got Haxorus on "What Dragon-Type Pokemon are you?" https://quotev.com/quiz/5077163
Do you like Grusha?
I love Grusha, love, love, love him! He’s gorgeous and I find his personality intriguing! I love his design so much and his a androgynous vibe! He’s undoubtably my favourite ice-type gym leader and one of my top leaders overall.
What did you think of his team?
I think it’s a very fitting team! I also like it when a gym leader’s team complement their personality, and I feel as though his team accomplishes that. I didn’t have any difficulty with him particularly, my Cerulege effortlessly handled him for the most part.
Would you have given him any different Pokemon?
I’d perhaps switch out Beartic for Glaceon, simply because Glaceon is my favourite ice type and I think it would suit him, and would make a lovely addition to his team!!
How do you feel about his gym challenge?
Unmistakably one of the most fun ones! I just wish it was a bit longer. There’s a mini game in the first PokePark game that it bares resemblance to, and I loved that game as well! I actually replayed the gym challenge a few times, as I thought it was a fun little activity to do to switch up gameplay.

What are your favorite ice type PokeDex entries?

I always liked Articuno's pokedex entries. This one from Red and Blue has stayed with me over the years- A legendary bird POKéMON that is said to
appear to doomed people who are lost in icy mountain
I think that sounds eerie, and maybe not what you would expect since Articuno is such a beautiful and majestic, it doesn't sound like seeing
Articuno is actually good thing, kinda like seeing an Absol, it's a sign of your misfortune. I heard another interpretation from a friend who thinks
the dex is suggesting that the reason Articuno appears is to save you, to guide you out of the icy wilderness, which I think sounds interesting too.
Not sure if that's really how the pokedex meant it, but both are cool to think about.
The HGSS entry for Articuno also says some nice things about the appearance and texture of it's wings and body that sound lovely. I.E The
magnificent, seemingly translucent wings of this legendary bird Pokémon are said to be made of ice.
I have always found the pokedex entries for Lapras poignant, striking a nerve because of how it echoes the way humans have treated different
species in reality, and is a message about the dangers of the way we live currently. The Ruby and Sapphire entry says this - People have driven
LAPRAS almost to the point of extinction. In the evenings, this POKéMON is said to sing plaintively as it seeks what few others of its kind still
remain.
Pretty heavy for pokemon.
I would have liked a larger presence for Treasures of Ruin legendaries in SV. I love the idea of them, but they're just there if you want to look for
them and catch them, like Zygarde, but I think they were intriguing enough to have a plotline like starfall street, path of legends or victory road.
At least they have good pokedex entries though, Chen Pao's is epic I.e The hatred of those who perished by the sword long ago has clad itself in snow
and become a Pokémon.

I'd look in legendary Pokémon entues, because they're often among the most interesting.
Regice's one is incredibly cool. Not only it talks about how cold Regice is but mentions an ice age and a South pole.
Froslass is one of my favourite Pokémon and here's a cool entry from HGSS:
