Stats & Training
You won't find a real weakness in Glalie's stat line. It's well-rounded for the Face Pokemon, and what it does with that depends on moveset and items. Yields 2 HP EVs, on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The excess energy from Mega Evolution spilled over from its mouth, breaking its jaw. It spews endless blizzards.
It envelops prey in its mouth, freezing them instantly. But its jaw is dislocated, so it’s unable to eat them.

Glalie Guide
In Sun & Moon, Glalie brings 480 BST to the table. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Sun & Moon's meta. Ice Shard with Expert Belt is the standard set.
In Sun & Moon, yes. Mega Glalie is the evolved form, sitting at 580 BST. Big power spike over base Glalie (480). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
In Sun & Moon, 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.
