Black & White Glalie Best Moveset

Nothing fancy here. Glalie builds around Custapberry for extra utility, Hasty nature for the right stat lean, and max Attack and Speed EVs. Icebody does its job quietly.

The egg pool carries weight here. Avalanche and Bide aren't available any other way for Glalie, and they meaningfully change what it threatens. Stack those on top of Blizzard and Ice Beam for solid options.

Glalie Guide

  • In Black & White, Glalie brings 480 BST to the table. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Black & White's meta. Explosion with Custapberry is the standard set.

  • Mega Evolution isn't available in Black & White, but Glalie does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Glalie hits 580 BST.

  • In Black & White, Glalie's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Machamp (Fighting), and Aerodactyl (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Steel-type attackers are also a problem.

  • Inner Focus is the go-to ability for Glalie. It prevents flinching. Its hidden ability Moody can work in specific setups. Ice Body is the other option. Pick based on what your team needs.

  • Glalie is a mixed attacker with base 80 Attack and 80 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 80 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many.

Game Availability

Available since Ruby & Sapphire, Glalie appears in 17 games spanning 8 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Mega form in Generation 7.
