![]() Sometimes it never lands at all.” and his appearance in Sun and Moon heavily references this. A flipped coin doesn’t always land heads or tails. What’s interesting and troubling is that it’s not always clear which is which. After losing to the player in Black and White, Grimsley states, “There are bad ways to win- and good ways to lose. Considering Grimsley appears in the Battle Tree in Sun and Moon, I think it is likely that he came to Alola to hone his skills. In Grimsley’s first appearances in Black and White and Black and White 2, he is always talking about becoming stronger and what it takes to be a good trainer. And although all of this cool background is interesting, this doesn’t really explain why he is there though. Also, something often overlooked is the fact that in Pokemon Black and White 2, Grimsley does a coin flip at the beginning of the battle. Ohmura states that Grimsley’s clothing choices were meant to resemble the colors of the roulette. This gambling theme is further exemplified in an interview with Yusuke Ohmura in which he says that Grimsley’s design is based on vampires, which most people knew, and gambling. In the manga, Grimsley is seen gambling with some workers, which would explain why he uses the coin flip to decide whether to give you access to Sharpedo or not. He was a completely different character, but if we take a look at the Pokemon Adventures Manga, we can see that he is a lot deeper than he is in the games. When I first saw Grimsley in Sun and Moon, it puzzled me because he seemed so different than he was in Black and White. When you answer his coin flip question, he will give you access to the Sharpedo’s ride function, which is a reference to Grimsley’s Sharpedo that he uses when you rematch him. After defeating Acerola’s trial and some Team Skull shenanigans, you can find Grimsley standing by the ocean. In Pokemon Sun and Moon, you meet up with Pokemon Black and White’s Elite 4 member, Grimsley on Ula’ Ula Island. As always, I’m Pokemon Insider, and let’s get started. He was a very underdeveloped character in the original gen 5 games, but there may be an interesting reason for his appearance in Pokemon Sun and Moon. Pokemon Sun and Moon saw the return of many characters from previous generations such as Red, Blue, Cynthia, and Wally, but one character that had me questioning things was Grimsley.

My conclusion may not be very groundbreaking, but it seems like it is the most likely scenario as to why Grimsley appears in the Alola Region. Although there is not a lot of evidence on Grimsley, his appearance in Sun and Moon is very consistent with his previous appearances in the Pokemon franchise. Why was Grimsley in the Alola Region? This short Pokemon Sun and Moon theory by Pokemon Insider attempts to answer this question. ![]()
