Glalie is an Ice Pokémon which evolves from Snorunt. It is vulnerable to Fighting, Rock, Steel and Fire moves. Glalie's strongest moveset is Frost Breath & Avalanche and it has a Max CP of 2,105.
"Glalie has a body made of rock, which it hardens with an armor of ice. This Pokémon has the ability to freeze moisture in the atmosphere into any shape it desires."
A very simple and straightforward moveset that allows Glalie to do what it does best: Ice, Ice, baby. Shadow Ball is a nice addition for some coverage in case Glalie gets into a hot mess. Unlike its sister counterpart Froslass, Glalie doesn't get STAB on Shadow Ball.
Glalie gets compared a lot to its sister Froslass, as they both have very similar movesets and occupy similar roles. Glalie is a mono-Ice type which does it more harm than good, as weaknesses to 4 other typings in exchange for pretty much no resistances makes it rather vulnerable without coverage from other teammates. Glalie is also a bit slower than its sister counterpart due to not having access to Powder snow, which actually causes it to lose some matchups that Froslass would win, such as against Venusaur in the one-shield matchup. Overall a decent pick with well-rounded stats and good offensive potential, but the sheer lack of resistances really holds it back.
With a max CP of 2105 Glalie doesn't have sufficient stats to perform well in Ultra League. Aside from the obvious wins against opponents weak to Ice, Glalie generally sees more losses than wins in this league. Narrow victories against Lugia and Dialga in the one-shield matchup are nice, but not really enough to make Glalie a viable pick.
There's better candidates than Glalie for Master League.
