How viable is Glastrier in Monotype?

1 minute read

I ordinarily don’t ask this sort of question, but I’m curious. I’m getting into the Gen 8 Monotype format on Showdown, and I’d like to play around with an Ice team (yes I know they’re bad, shut up). Glastrier seems to be a nice tank that can give me some much-needed defensive power and more offensive power, plus it has a pretty solid movepool. What are its pros and cons, and is it outclassed by others? I’d like to know how it fares against other physical Ice types in general, but more specifically, Zen Mode Galarian Darmanitan.

Thanks in advance.

(This answer was given in monotype chatroom, showdown)It’s pretty good in sweeping ,late game cleaning and isn’t outclassed by alolan sandslash.(contrary to my thinking). They do different things. People underestimate this thing but it’s very good.here’s a set :

Glastrier @ LeftoversAbility: Chilling NeighEVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 SpeJolly Nature- Substitute- Swords Dance- Icicle Crash- High Horsepower

It’s works well for a defensive core AND offensive core. Best functions in aroura veil/ trick room.Hope I Helped!
