Slow is good when Trick Room is up, and Glastrier is about as slow as they come. Ice typing gives it a defined role on the team. Only weak to Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel. Part of the Gen 8 roster.
The stat bars tell the story: Attack carries everything and Speed's dead weight. But this Wild Horse Pokemon still yields 3 Attack EVs per fight on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Glastrier emits intense cold from its hooves. It’s also a belligerent Pokémon—anything it wants, it takes by force.
Glastrier has tremendous physical strength, and the mask of ice covering its face is 100 times harder than diamond.
Glastrier Weakness
