Glaceon Evolutions
Out of 7 evolutions from Eevee, Glaceon comes from an evolution at the Ice Rock in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum. 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 131 partners from the Field egg group. Notable egg moves include Charm, Covet, Curse and 7 more.
HGSS Glaceon Best Moveset
Special Ice attacker at 130 Sp. Atk firing the hardest special Ice damage among Eeveelutions. 65 Speed means the moveset goes after most threats. Ice typing brings too many weaknesses, and AbilitySnow Cloak in hail is unreliable. Raw power without speed.
Best Build
Glaceon best EVs are Sp. Atk and Speed
Special Revenge Killer Moveset
- Shadow Ball
- Signal Beam
- Hidden Power Fire
- Ice Beam
Recommended Teammates
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.
