*Note: You need Elite Charged TMs to teach Glaceon its exclusive legacy moves: Last Resort and/or Water Pulse.
Frost Breath deals higher DPS but generates energy slower than Ice Shard.
Avalanche hits like, well, an avalanche. Ice Beam is a little behind in DPS.
Icy Wind is a 3-bar charged move that hits often, especially when paired with Ice Shard.
Conclusion
With common counters, melting through Glaceon shouldn’t be too much of a challenge for the high level trainer with the correct counters and movesets. Lower level trainers may wish to group together in a duo or trio to ensure a win.
All the best, trainers!
