Wall for Ditto (page 133)

Zekrom and Dracovish?
Also Glaceon can't consistently beat dusk mane Necrozma, or some other common threats in Ubers like Marshadow, Blissey, Cinderace, and Tyranitar.

sumwun after a sunsteel strike, dynamax glaceon survives, thus activating wp and max phantasm is a guaranteed 2hko. It can also beat Cinderace and Marshadow one on one. Blissey has super high hp and special defense, so any special attacker who doesn't have psyshock would have trouble, Glaceon vs Tyranitar is a kind of roller coaster ride because it really depends on the set Tyranitar is running.

Again, is Glaceon better than Darmanitan at beating any of them? I know that Darmanitan is better against Blissey and Tyranitar.

according to damage calculations, yes

First, you can't rely on Dynamax to check a non-Dynamax opponent. The opponent will likely switch to a defensive Pokemon like Blissey, which wastes your 3 Dynamax turns and make you unable to check that Dynamax-requiring opponent anymore. Even if it doesn't switch, you will use up your Dynamax and weakness policy. When your opponent Dynamaxes later, you won't be able to Dynamax in response to that.

Second, Darmanitan is significantly faster than Glaceon. In addition to checking a lot of healthy opponents, it can revenge-kill a weakened Mewtwo, Dragapult, Zacian, or Eternatus without taking any damage, which Glaceon can't do.

Zekrom outspeeds Glaceon, and both blizzard and bolt strike can miss. So Glaceon has a 74.5% chanceof winning this matchup.
252 Atk Teravolt Zekrom Bolt Strike vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Glaceon: 219-258 (65.5 - 77.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Glaceon Blizzard vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Zekrom: 396-468 (116.1 - 137.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Darmanitan outspeeds Zekrom and has a 91.5% chance of winning without taking any damage.
252 Atk Gorilla Tactics Darmanitan-Galar Icicle Crash vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Zekrom: 374-444 (109.6 - 130.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Neither Glaceon nor Darmanitan can beat dusk mane Necrozma without Dynamax.
4 Atk Necrozma-Dusk-Mane Sunsteel Strike vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Glaceon: 296-350 (88.6 - 104.7%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
+2 252+ SpA Glaceon Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Prism Armor Necrozma-Dusk-Mane: 267-315 (67 - 79.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

252 Atk Gorilla Tactics Darmanitan-Galar Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Prism Armor Necrozma-Dusk-Mane: 189-223 (47.4 - 56%) -- 82.4% chance to 2HKO
4 Atk Necrozma-Dusk-Mane Sunsteel Strike vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Darmanitan-Galar: 512-606 (145.8 - 172.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Dracovish outspeeds and OHKOs Glaceon.
252+ Atk Choice Band Strong Jaw Dracovish Fishious Rend (170 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Glaceon: 492-579 (147.3 - 173.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Darmanitan can't beat Dracovish, either. But it can at least outspeed and weaken Dracovish, or revenge-kill Dracovish after a teammate weakens it.
252 Atk Gorilla Tactics Darmanitan-Galar Icicle Crash vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Dracovish: 220-259 (68.5 - 80.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Strong Jaw Dracovish Fishious Rend (85 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Darmanitan-Galar: 426-502 (121.3 - 143%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Here is a Sword and Shield set I use in Anything Goes

Glaceon @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Snow Cloak / Ice Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
- Blizzard
- Freeze Dry
- Shadow Ball
- Water Pulse

I think the problem is people always try to make Glaceon fast, but what if we don't? It has 110 defense and 95 special defense. We can make a bulky special sweeper or wall breaker here. With full HP, Glaceon can take a decent amount of super-effective hits. And when you Dynamax and get that hail up, your Ice-type moves are stronger, Blizzard is 100% accuracy, and Snow Cloak activates, which means you have a chance to avoid attacks. You can also go for Ice Body, but Glaceon's not a wall, so I'd rather Snow cloak. and 9 times out of 10 someone is going to use a super-effective move against our icy friend, so Weakness Policy can activate and then you are doing an INSANE amount of damage. I really think Glaceon is underrated and should have a chance because this thing plays no games when it comes to battling.

Here is a quick clip of Glaceon showing what it can do:

I don't know what it is with scenes involving Trunks when he's not the guy the Reader Sue is y'know destined to be together with or whatever. They're great.

"I'm sure the brat can go somewhere else."
"Don't you dare call him that, you arrogant b*stard!"

When the Reader Sue is actually likable.

Ooooo you have a gf?

"I like your hair, your outfit (I could never do earrings though eesh), and you have a nice smile."

"Yes, actually. I could never tell you used to be male, at least from this picture (and it's just generally a bit hard for me to remember that in the first place). You look like a gorgeous young lady."

"Also just a thing about me the fact I was able to type that is a miracle within itself because I do NOT have experience with complimenting looks and judging fashion and stuff."

Wonder what it all means lol
