Glaceon Learnset

Answer 1

• Ice Beam/Blizzard
• Hidden power [ground]
• Shadow Ball/Substitute
• Hail/Wish

Pretty simple set. Ice beam/Blizzard gives STAb if you want to go with hail, HP ground covers rock, steel, and ground all at one, shadow ball gives support, and the rest is pretty easy to figure out.

Comments

What about Frost Breath over Ice beam/Blizzard? Because Frost breath scores a critical hit all the time.

---

So? Why would you always want a crit? It doesn't matter.

---

With 40 power, a crit only brings you up to 80 power. Less than both Ice Beam and Blizzard, and still lacking perfect accuracy.

---

Actually, you're right. I just remembered since its power only doubles when it lands a critical it's no match for ice beam. I just thought it would be handy.

---

Thanks for pointing that out. :)

---

Although I heard from trachy that crits bypass all stat boosts. Maybe that's why people use it.

Makes sense

Answer 4

My glaceon is kinda different but the same as other movesets so here goes

Barrier: max this out to go with mirror coat

Mirror coat: after max barrier opponents will probably go with special so this works

Ice Beam: classic ice STAB

Hidden power(ground): covers most if not all weaknesses

Answer 5

Im getting a glaceon from dream world soon!
Item: Leftovers Ability: Snow Cloak
Modet Nature
Moves:
Hail (boosts accuracy of blizzard, raises evasiveness with ability)
Blizzard (STAB- goes well with hail)
Shadow Ball (Coverage, lowers sp. defense sometimes)
Hidden Power [Ground] (good against glaceons weaknesses:rock,fire,steel)
Hope I helped(:

Answer 6

Hail Team Glaceon

Glaceon - Timid (^Speed -Atk) # Choice Specs/Leftovers
Snow Cloak / Ice Body (DW)
+ 252 Sp Atk EVs / 200 Speed EVs / 58 HP EVs

• Blizzard (100% accuracy in Hail, STAB, just really powerful)*

• Hail (JUST in case someone cancels out your wonderful Hail)

• Substitute/Protect (If you get the chance to set up Only with Leftovers and Ice Body, where you will heal enough HP to actually Sub up, otherwise get Barrier, again, if you get the chance to set up)

• Shadow Ball/Wish/ (You should get Wish, if with Protect, and if not, get Shadow Ball just for some extra coverage)

The idea behind this Glaceon is one of two choices basically.

Either Spam Blizzard until death with Choice Specs (make sure you use PP Max on Blizzard if this is your option)

~ or ~

Just have a normal type of Glaceon with whatever strategies you have in store for it.
Glaceon may not be useful in these situations, but you can also take advantage of its great Sp. Attack. ~
