Glaceon Evolutions
Out of 8 evolutions from Eevee, Glaceon comes from the item path. The method you use determines which form you end up with. Breed through Eevee to get eggs. Both Glaceon and Vaporeon hit 525 total stats from Eevee. The difference is how those stats are split. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Glaceon to get Eevee eggs (with patience) using 200 partners from the Ground egg group. Notable egg moves include Captivate, Charm, Covet and 11 more.
ORAS Glaceon Best Moveset
Ice at 130 Sp. Atk firing the highest special Ice TermStab among non-legendary Pokemon. AbilityIce Body as a hidden ability heals in hail. The moveset fires devastating Ice power but 65 Speed goes last and Ice typing carries four weaknesses that limit defensive team slots.

Glaceon best EVs are HP and Sp. Atk

- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power Ground

Moves List
The natural movepool does the job, but Captivate and Charm 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Glaceon has a 525 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. It works best as a support. Shadow Ball with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Glaceon fills the support 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.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Shadow Ball, Ice Beam, Hiddenpowerground, and Hail on Glaceon. Shadow Ball is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the support 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.
