Ruby & Sapphire Glalie Best Moveset

Nothing fancy here. Glalie builds around Salacberry for extra utility, Timid nature for the right stat lean, and flexible EVs. Innerfocus does its job quietly.

The level-up pool tells the story here. Glalie learns Ice Beam and Blizzard naturally, plus enough variety that TMs feel like bonuses. Dark and Normal coverage and more extends the reach beyond that.
