Tips & Strategies for Defeating Glacia

Challenging Glacia

Here are some tips and strategies to help you win this fight:

Use Rock-type Moves. While Fire, Fighting, and Steel-type moves work well against the majority of Glacia’s lineup, Rock-type moves are good against every member of her team. Using Rock-type moves such as Rock Slide or Stone Edge can give you a strategic upper hand in the battle.
Change the Weather. Most of Glacia’s Pokémon can use Hail, increasing the accuracy of the move Blizzard to 100%. Counter this by having your Pokémon set up and replace the weather using moves like Sandstorm or Sunny Day.
Be Cautious when using Fighting-type Moves. Although Fighting-type moves are generally effective against Glacia’s team, her two Froslass possess a part-Ghost typing which makes them immune to Fighting and Normal-type moves.
Opt for Physical Moves When Light Screen is Active. Glalie can set up Light Screen, reducing the damage from Special moves by half. Either take down Glalie before it uses Light Screen or nullify Light Screen’s effect by using Brick Break or Defog.
Level Up Your Pokémon. Glacia might get lucky and successfully use Walrein’s Sheer Cold, landing a OHKO (One Hit Knock Out) on your Pokémon. However, if your Pokémon are level 54 or higher, they are immune to OHKO moves from lower-level Pokémon.
