Best Movesets
Analysis
If you think this Pokemon looks mad now, you should have seen its face when it heard it’s useless on offense and defense. Glalie’s naturally low CP can make a stickler for gym defense, but its pure Ice-typing offers it no further advantages.
Offense
- Frost Breath is slightly better than Ice Shard and Powder Snow.
- Avalanche is the only charge move an offensive Glalie should be using.
Defense
- Rollout is the best overall option for Glalie on defense.
- Ice Shard is slightly better than Frost Breath, and a fair bit better than Powder Snow.
- While Shadow Ball has better coverage, you may want to stick with Avalanche since it has such an early dodge window.
- Gyro Ball isn't great, but it does come out relatively quickly and has some counter-coverage potential.
A very simple and straightforward moveset that allows Glalie to do what it does best: Ice, Ice, baby. Shadow Ball is a nice addition for some coverage in case Glalie gets into a hot mess. Unlike its sister counterpart Froslass, Glalie doesn't get STAB on Shadow Ball
Glalie gets compared a lot to its sister Froslass, as they both have very similar movesets and occupy similar roles. Glalie is a mono-Ice type which does it more harm than good, as weaknesses to 4 other typings in exchange for pretty much no resistances makes it rather vulnerable without coverage from other teammates.
