Stats & Training
Glaceon's spread isn't flashy. Sp. Atk leads, Attack trails, 3 stats clear the bar. Tough to catch and worth 2 Sp. Atk EVs, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It can control its body temperature at will. This enables it to freeze the moisture in the atmosphere, creating flurries of diamond dust.
It lowers its body heat to freeze its fur. The hairs then become like needles it can fire.
Glaceon Weakness

Without TMs, Glaceon's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get coverage across 8 types on top of Blizzard and Ice Beam for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.

How to Get Glaceon in Legends: Z-A
Glaceon Guide
In Legends: Z-A, Glaceon has a 525 base stat total and ranks as B-Tier: a solid option in Legends: Z-A for the right team. It works best as a wallbreaker. Freezedry with Choice Specs is the standard set.
In Legends: Z-A, 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 Legends: Z-A, Glaceon fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 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.
For Legends: Z-A, Glaceon has answers, but so do you. Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Physical attackers can break through.
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.
