Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Glaceon Best Moveset

You commit to a move every time Glaceon comes in. Choice Specs gives boosted special damage with move lock, and Snowcloak adds to that. Max HP and Sp. Atk EVs make sure the locked move actually hurts. The remaining moves covers the rest.

Moves

The natural movepool does the job, but Captivate and Charm from the egg pool give Glaceon something extra. Pair those with Blizzard and Ice Beam for STAB and coverage across 9 types for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.

How to Get Glaceon in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

You're catching Eevee first, not Glaceon. Eevee appears at moderate rates in the encounters below. The step cards map the full 2-stage line with evolution methods between each stage.

How to Obtain Glaceon in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

To get Glaceon, start by catching Eevee through walking and gift encounters at Lv. 1-17. The chain covers 1 catchable stage before reaching the final form.

Glaceon Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Glaceon has a 525 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. It works best as a wallbreaker. Ice Beam with Choice Specs is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Infernape (Fire), Machamp (Fighting), and Aerodactyl (Rock) when using Glaceon. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Steel-type attackers are also a problem.

  • Snow Cloak increases evasion to 1.25× during hail. That's the one you want on Glaceon. Ice Body is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Glaceon fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 130 Sp. Atk. At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Ice Beam, Shadow Ball, Blizzard, and Hiddenpowerground on Glaceon. Ice Beam is the most common pick at 20% usage. Blizzard provides reliable STAB damage.

Game Availability

Glaceon has been available in 14 games since Diamond & Pearl, though obtaining it requires an item-based evolution. This extra step makes it less common than Pokemon found through standard wild encounters.
