Discuss #471 Glaceon

Wanted to start a discussion thread for a couple of pokemon. Once the discussions are complete the info will be compiled.

I think Glaceon is BL. It could be super amazing if it's move pool wasn't so shallow...

[belnumcree]

The tier list I looked at here had it as UU.

[Catcatcat]

It's raw stats are too good. Even a resisted Ice Beam from it would do lots of damage. And if it had Hail support, it would be really hard to hit (Snow Cloak) and Blizzard would have 100% accuracy. I just think it's too good.

Glaceon eh? It has an awesome Special but a low speed stat. The Defences are often overlooked and it can be an effective wall. It has curse that just aids that cause. It has wish too along with Baton Pass which can help to pass the boosts to something like T-Tar. The Only possible set that could be attempted in OU is probably Choice scarf. In UU though, a choice specs varient would be fine as It would probably get something off before having to switch. Its unfortunate that its got an SR weakness, but it can work. The Movepool is quite limited unfortunatly. Water Pulse is the only the fourth move that is possible for a special glaceon. That doesn't give you much coverage though so It isn't really worth it.

Glaceon probably makes a good physical wall due to curse and Baton Pass and Roar. Other than that, there isn't anything else that can be done

Glaceon I really see as a suport pokemon, not really a fighter, as S tailor said wish/batton pass/curse really aid in the effect of support. Stat wise, I see it as UU, not really anything speial about it because of the horrible movepool...hopefully she learns something new in platinum.

impish isn't really a good idea with ice beam. it lowers her special attack. try bold instead

You have Ice beam >.> they'res no recovery on that set making it only a feasible baton passer
