Adamant Nature
- Icicle Crash
- Close Combat
- High Horsepower
- Crunch
Glastrier recently dropped into PU and has already proven to be a strong and flexible offensive Pokemon. Its high Attack stat lets it break past bulky foes like Quagsire with Icicle Crash. Glastrier also has strong neutral coverage: Close Combat hits Steel-types like Aggron, High Horsepower is its best option against Qwilfish and avoids Close Combat's Defense drops, and Crunch 2HKOs Jellicent. However, a crippling weakness to Stealth Rock, its inability to 2HKO bulky Water-types like Poliwrath and Wishiwashi, and the prominence of faster Jellicent sets hinder Glastrier's viability. It appreciates Pokemon that can keep entry hazards off the field like Espeon and Charizard; in return, it threatens Steel- and Rock-types like Ferroseed and Gigalith. Grass-types like Whimsicott threaten the bulky Water-types that Glastrier struggles with while pivoting Glastrier in on Pokemon like Eldegoss. Glastrier is forced out by powerful Fighting- and Fire-types such as Gallade and Magmortar, so Pokemon that can switch into them like Palossand and Gigalith are heavily appreciated. They also provide entry hazards support to help wear down Glastrier's switch-ins.
