Glalie Guide
In Scarlet & Violet, Glalie works as a hazard setter with 480 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Scarlet & Violet's meta. Substitute with Black Sludge is the standard set.
Mega Evolution isn't available in Scarlet & Violet, but Glalie does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Glalie hits 580 BST.
In Scarlet & Violet, 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.
