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 47 partners from the Fairy and Mineral egg groups. Notable egg moves include Avalanche, Bide, Block and 7 more.
ORAS Glalie Best Moveset
Mega Glalie's AbilityRefrigerate converts Normal moves to Ice at boosted power, and 120 Attack fires the converted TermStab hard. AbilityMoody on the base form randomly boosts stats. The moveset depends on the Mega slot for real power, though 100 Speed at Mega level fires before moderate threats.
Best Build
Glalie best EVs are HP and Sp. Def

- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Ice Beam

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 Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Glalie brings 480 BST to the table. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. Ice Shard with Assault Vest is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, yes. Mega Glalie is the evolved form, sitting at 580 BST. Big power spike over base Glalie (480). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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
