Is Snorunt Good in FireRed & LeafGreen Playthrough?

Ice from Hoenn with AbilityInner Focus preventing flinching. Trade-only. Glalie at 42 has perfectly even base stats. If imported, Ice coverage handles Lance's Dragon E4. The late evolution limits early contribution.

Snorunt cannot be caught in this game. It must be traded in from a compatible game where it appears in the wild. On GBA, cross-region trading unlocks post-game after Celio's Sevii Islands Ruby & Sapphire quest. The Switch re-release supports only one-way transfers out to Pokemon HOME.
