Ability and Held Item

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Glastrier Image
Ability Held Item
Chilling Neigh Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Clear Amulet ImageClear Amulet

Chilling Neigh is Glastrier's only Ability, which is a great Ability to have for an Attacker or Sweeper. Chilling Neigh gives Glastrier an Attack boost whenever it takes a KO.

Clear Amulet is chosen for this build, as it can prevent Glastrier's stats from being dropped by Abilities like Intimidate. This is important for keeping Glastrier useful througout a match.

Moves Breakdown

Icicle Crash Stomping Tantrum
Close Combat Protect

Icicle Crash is Glastrier's main STAB Move, and is also its most powerful option. This is the move that Glastrier will want to click most often.

Stomping Tantrum is good against opposing Fire and Steel-type Pokemon.

Close Combat is good for damaging Fighting-weak Pokemon. Glastrier's natural bulk makes it so it can shrug off Close Combat's defense drops.

Protect is great for turns where Glastrier is in danger of getting double-targeted.

Best Tera Type: Water

Pokemon Fire Type Icon Pokemon Water Type Icon Pokemon Ice Type Icon Pokemon Steel Type Icon

Water is the best Tera Type for this build as it can give Glastrier a resistance to Fire and Steel. A Poison Tera can be used to give Glastrier a resistance to Fighting, however, if your team composition needs a Fighting resist.

Best Water Type Pokemon for Ranked Battle

EV Spread and Nature

This build focuses on bulky offense, so a full 252 are spent on HP and Attack. 4 Special Defense EVs are given to Glastrier to improve its special bulk slightly.

Other Viable Moves

Heavy Slam A strong Steel-type Attack that Glastrier can make good use of thanks to its weight.

How to Use Glastrier Effectively

Use Glastrier In Trick Room

Glastrier's abyssmal Speed stat makes it a good option as a Trick Room Attacker. While it cannot set it up itself, like Ice-Rider Calyrex, Glastrier can floursih in Trick Room if a teammate can set it up.

Use Glastrier's Bulk to Your Advantage

Glastrier will be able to take ample amounts of punishment thanks to its solid bulk. Use Glastrier as a defensive switch-in, or as an offensive tank.

How to Build a Team with Glastrier

Glastrier can fill the role of a Trick Room Attacker, which means it needs a teammate that can set it up. Snow can also help Glastrier gain a Defense boost which can help Weakness Policy sets.

Sample Doubles Team

Physical Attacker Support / Trick Room Setter
Annihilape ImageAnnihilape Cresselia ImageCresselia
Physical Attacker Special Attacker
Glastrier ImageGlastrier Ursaluna ImageUrsaluna

Annihilape can help assist Cresselia set up Trick Room by running a Choice Scarf Final Gambit set. This will let Glastrier come in safely after Trick Room goes up.

Ursaluna is another Attacker that can dish out good offense in Trick Room conditions.

Counters for Glastrier

Double Target Glastrier to Knock It Out

While Glastrier is massively bulky, it will not be able to take continuous damage for multiple turns. Target it down on turns after it has used Protect.

Additionally, preventing Trick Room will hinder Glastrier's effectiveness greatly. Use Taunt, Spore, or damage to stop Glastrier's partner from setting Trick Room up.
