Glalie doesn't stand out in any single area, but it gets the job done for in-game teams. Only weak to Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel. Been around since Gen 3. It needs some investment to avoid getting outsped. Known as the Face Pokemon.
You won't find a real weakness in Glalie's stat line. It's well-rounded for the Face Pokemon, and what it does with that depends on moveset and items. Yields 2 HP EVs, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
When it spews stupendously cold air from its broken mouth, the entire area around it gets whited out.
The power of Mega Evolution was so strong that it smashed Glalie’s jaw. Its inability to eat very well leaves Glalie irritated.

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.
