Glastrier is a Legendary Ice-type Pokemon that resembles a powerful icy horse. It is known for its extreme physical strength, heavy body, tough defensive stats and its role as one of Calyrex’s steeds in The Crown Tundra.
Competitive Overview
Glastrier can be a strong competitive Pokemon because of its huge Attack stat, great physical bulk and Chilling Neigh, which raises its Attack after it knocks out an opponent. It is especially threatening under Trick Room where its low Speed becomes an advantage.
