Summary
Wulfric serves as the Gym Leader of the Snowbelle Gym in Snowbelle City, specializing in Ice-type Pokémon. He awards the Iceberg Badge to Trainers who emerge victorious against him. In Pokémon X and Y, defeating Wulfric grants the badge alongside TM13 (Ice Beam). He is renowned not only for his strength but also for his kindness toward Pokémon, earning the admiration of creatures in Pokémon Village. Initially, Wulfric is located in the Winding Woods rather than his gym. He can be found at Pokémon Village, situated west of the woods, where he explains the location to the player before returning to his gym to become available for challenge. The anime series Gym Freaks reveals he is a devoted fan of the Brycen-Man Series, to the extent that he cries while watching the latest movie. Rumors also suggest he keeps a photo of his beloved Pokémon in the locket worn around his neck. Wulfric debuted in All Hail the Ice Battlefield!, where Ash battled him for his eighth Kalos Gym Badge. Despite using only two Pokémon against Ash’s three, Wulfric won. He advised Ash that he lacked sufficient trust in his bond with Greninja, causing the latter to doubt himself. In A Real Icebreaker!, a redeemed Ash challenged him to a rematch. Ash fought better this time, leading to a final showdown between Ash’s Greninja and Wulfric’s Abomasnow. Although Greninja’s perfected Ash-Greninja form gave Ash an early advantage, Wulfric Mega Evolved his Abomasnow for a massive power boost. Ultimately, Ash won the match, securing the Iceberg Badge. Wulfric appeared in a fantasy sequence in A League of His Own! when Ash discussed his defeated Kalos Gym Leaders with Everett in preparation for the Lumiose Conference. He was later seen in XY132 within the Winding Woods, watching Lysandre’s broadcast from Lumiose City while surrounded by wild Pokémon. He returned in XY135 and XY136 to assist in destroying the Megalith Zygarde.
