Moves Double-Edge is an extremely powerful STAB move when boosted by Refrigerate, being able to dent many Pokemon that do not resist Ice. Return can be used for a safer STAB move if the recoil from Double-Edge is unfavorable, but it is significantly weaker, notably failing to 2HKO Aromatisse. Ice Shard allows Glalie to pick off Flygon and somewhat compensate for its above-average Speed by taking out weakened Virizion, and Chlorophyll Venusaur. Freeze-Dry is used for Mega Glalie to hit bulky Water-types such as Alomomola, Slowking, Blastoise, and Qwilfish that would otherwise be able to wall and severely weaken Mega Glalie. Spikes is used to capitalize on the switches that Mega Glalie forces by using the few Pokemon that can stomach its attacks as Spikes bait; in addition, Glalie makes a proficient Spikes user in general thanks to its ability to pulverize the premier hazard removers in the tier, Flygon and Blastoise. Earthquake has great complementary coverage, being able to smash Steel- and Fire-types such as Registeel and Emboar that can take Mega Glalie's STAB attacks with ease. Ice Shard turns Mega Glalie into a great revenge killer, being able to take out Flygon and pick off weakened Pokemon. Explosion is an alternative in the last slot to heavily damage a Pokemon after Mega Glalie has done its job. Set Details Glalitite is used to Mega Evolve Glalie. Maximum Speed investment with a Speed-boosting nature ensures that Mega Glalie outspeeds Sigilyph, Houndoom, and Meloetta when it Mega Evolves and Speed ties with Gallade before it Mega Evolves. Maximum Attack investment is used for maximum damage output. If a Naive nature is chosen, the 4 Defense EVs can be moved to Special Attack to slightly boost Freeze-Dry's power. Usage Tips Mega Glalie should typically be used on offensively inclined teams, and it appreciates getting a safe switch-in via U-turn, Volt Switch, or double switches. Players can try to predict Fire-type switch-ins by nailing them with Earthquake, though Mega Glalie should be clicking Double-Edge or Return most of the time due to its nature as a wallbreaker. When facing Pokemon such as Flygon, try to predict them switching out and either set up Spikes or switch out to another Pokemon. If running Explosion, it should be used if Mega Glalie is not needed anymore and can also be used to block Defog. Team Options Entry hazard control, though not mandatory, is nice to have. Flygon and Hitmonlee are able to remove entry hazards with Defog and Rapid Spin, respectively, and have great offensive synergy with Mega Glalie. Late-game cleaners such as Delphox and Scrafty appreciate Mega Glalie's wallbreaking so that they can sweep more easily. Pokemon that can deal with Fire-types with ease such as Flygon and Rhyperior work well with Mega Glalie, and they also benefit from Mega Glalie's ability to weaken bulky Water- and Grass-types for them. Steel-types such as Bronzong annoy Mega Glalie, so it appreciates Pokemon that can take them on such as Emboar, Seismitoad, and Fletchinder. If Mega Glalie does not run Freeze-Dry, bulky Water-types can give it trouble, making Electric- and Grass-types such as Jolteon and Virizion ideal partners in this case.
