130 Sp. Atk fires Ice TermStab at devastating special power. 110 Defense absorbs physical hits. AbilityIce Body heals in hail. The moveset answers Dragon, Grass, and Flying types through raw Ice damage. 65 Speed goes second against most threats, and pure Ice typing gives four common weaknesses.

Moves List
The natural movepool does the job, but Charm and Covet from the egg pool give Glaceon something extra. Pair those with Blizzard and Ice Beam for STAB and coverage across 9 types for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.

Glaceon Black 2 & White 2 Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Glaceon has a 525 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Black 2 & White 2's meta. It works best as a wallbreaker. Ice Beam with Chopleberry is the standard set.
In Black 2 & White 2, watch for Infernape (Fire), Machamp (Fighting), and Aerodactyl (Rock) when using Glaceon. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Steel-type attackers are also a problem.
Snow Cloak increases evasion to 1.25× during hail. That's the one you want on Glaceon. Ice Body is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
In Black 2 & White 2, Glaceon fills the wallbreaker role. It's a mixed attacker with base 60 Attack and 130 Sp. Atk. At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Black 2 & White 2, run Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, Ice Shard, and Hiddenpowerfire on Glaceon. Ice Beam is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Glaceon has been available in 14 games since Diamond & Pearl, though obtaining it requires an item-based evolution. This extra step makes it less common than Pokemon found through standard wild encounters.
