Glastrier has high attack and defenses but very low speed, making it a good choice for Trick Room teams!

Spectrier, on the other hand, has high special attack and speed, making it a great special sweeper - a perfect choice for your Hyper Offense team!

We Recommend Spectrier

Spectrier is the overall better choice due to its high special attack, speed, and better mono-typing. Additionally, fusing Calyrex with Spectrier boosts its special attack and speed even further!

Spectrier IS worse than Glactrier in attack, but Spectrier is just dang fast. Also Spectrier’s special attacks are a LOT better
