Analysis
Glalie is an interesting pokemon, packing 80 in all stats before mega evolving. Through out the years it's be seen as relatively useless, except for setting up spikes?. But with ORAS it get's a mega evolution! It gets a big boost to it's special attack and physical attack and a smaller boost to speed, now speed tying with Salamence and Volcarona before mega evolving as well as many others. It gets a great ability in refrigerate, making all Normal moves Ice. Though Glalie doesn't have any special normal moves, bar hyper beam, that benefit from this ability it gets a ton of special Ice moves, like Ice beam and Blizzard. It's perfectly capable of going physical as well, with strong returns and body slams. And let's not forget the nuke in Explosion, which after Refrigerate and STAB is 470 BP I think. Explosion is amazing on Glalie, here are some calcs:
252+ Atk Refrigerate Glalie Explosion vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Keldeo: 300-354 (92.8 - 109.5%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO
252+ Atk Refrigerate Glalie Explosion vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 331-390 (81.9 - 96.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Refrigerate Glalie Explosion vs. 248 HP / 252 Def Charizard: 510-600 (142 - 167.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Refrigerate Glalie Explosion vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skarmory: 313-369 (93.7 - 110.4%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
Glalie also gets a very spammable move in Body slam, which has 150 BP with an added chance of paralyzation. It also get's Spikes and Taunt making it very viable as a lead, or an improved Azelf if you will. Destroying everything with Explosion after setting up Spikes. Though this will take up your mega spot, and isn't recommended but it's still viable.
Possible sets:
Glalie @ Glalitite
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Explosion
- Body Slam
This is what I predict will be the most common set, utilizing near perfect coverage in Ground and Ice to come in on flying types fearing Ice Shard and potentially Body slam on the switch. I believe this was used to great effect in Pokeaims new video. Earthquake for ground coverage to hit steel and fire types that ice don't. Ice shard for decently powerful Ice Priority
-1 252+ Atk Glalie Ice Shard vs. 252 HP / 164+ Def Landorus-T: 156-184 (40.8 - 48.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
-1 252+ Atk Glalie Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Landorus-T: 204-240 (63.9 - 75.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Explosion for the nuke, calcs already shown.
Body slam for a very powerful, unavoidable Ice Move. The great thing about Body Slam is that ground types who can't be paralyzed will get hit super effectively by Body Slam, meaning nothing is safe. Body slam + Explosion has a chance to knock out Rotom-W with 44 investments in speed.
Glalie @ Glalitite
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Taunt
- Spikes
- Explosion
- Ice Shard
Lead Glalie. This set focuses on being a RU, which is where I predict Glalie to end up, Azelf. Leading and taunting the potential opposition before setting up as many hazards as possible then finishing up with a boom literally. Not much to say about this set, it's mostly self explanatory. Ice shard to scare out Landorus-T.
Feel free to add sets and feedback
