Most of Glastrier's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Blizzard and Ice Beam, but Normal and Fighting and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.

Glastrier is not available as a wild encounter in this game.

This is an event-exclusive or special distribution.

  • Glastrier is a Legendary Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 580 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a wallbreaker. That 145 base Attack does the heavy lifting.

  • Glastrier's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Lucario (Fighting), and Terrakion (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Steel-type attackers are also a problem. At base 30 Speed, Glastrier won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Chilling Neigh is the go-to ability for Glastrier. It boosts Attack after knocking out a Pokémon. It's Glastrier's only ability.

  • Glastrier is a physical attacker with base 145 Attack. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 30 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the wallbreaker role.

  • The core moveset is Iciclecrash, Highhorsepower, Close Combat, and Swords Dance. Iciclecrash leads at 22% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.

Since Sword & Shield, Glastrier has appeared in 2 games. Legendary Pokemon like Glastrier are usually found through story events or special post-game areas rather than random encounters.
