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 50 partners from the Fairy and Mineral egg groups. Notable egg moves include Avalanche, Bide, Block and 7 more.
USUM Glalie Best Moveset
80 across every stat with AbilityMoody randomly boosting one stat sharply each turn as a hidden ability. Mega Glalie gains AbilityRefrigerate converting Normal moves to Ice with a power boost from 120 Attack. Without the Mega Stone, 80/80 offenses and no standout stat leave the base moveset without an identity.

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.

It freezes its prey and chews them whole. However, it prefers to eat Pokémon like Vanillite that are already frozen.
Its actual body is a rock that isn’t particularly hard. Glalie absorbs moisture from the air and drapes itself in an armor of ice.
Glalie Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Glalie brings 480 BST to the table. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. Ice Shard with Expert Belt is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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 Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, 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.
