Glalie Evolutions
Glalie is one of 2 ways Snorunt's chain can end. This one takes the level-up path, while the siblings go different directions. Breed through Snorunt to get eggs. Glalie and Froslass share the same 480 total stats, but they're distributed differently. Check the comparison below to see where each one specializes. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Glalie to get Snorunt eggs easily using 38 partners from the Fairy and Mineral egg groups. Notable egg moves include Avalanche, Bide, Block and 6 more.
B2W2 Glalie Best Moveset
80 across every stat creates perfect balance with no standout strength. AbilityMoody as a hidden ability randomly boosts and drops stats each turn. The moveset either snowballs through lucky boosts or collapses from bad ones. Pure Ice typing leaves four common weaknesses.

Moves List
The egg pool carries weight here. Avalanche and Bide aren't available any other way for Glalie, and they meaningfully change what it threatens. Stack those on top of Blizzard and Ice Beam for solid options.

Glalie Black 2 & White 2 Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Glalie brings 480 BST to the table. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Black 2 & White 2's meta. Explosion with Custapberry is the standard set.
Mega Evolution isn't available in Black 2 & White 2, but Glalie does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Glalie hits 580 BST.
In Black 2 & White 2, Glalie's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Machamp (Fighting), and Aerodactyl (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Steel-type attackers are also a problem.
Inner Focus is the go-to ability for Glalie. It prevents flinching. Its hidden ability Moody can work in specific setups. Ice Body is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.
Glalie is a mixed attacker with base 80 Attack and 80 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 80 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many.
Game Availability
Available since Ruby & Sapphire, Glalie appears in 17 games spanning 8 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Mega form in Generation 6.
