Glaceon’s pure Ice-type gives players a handful of weaknesses as options and just a single resistance to keep in mind. Although tier 3 Battle Raids aren’t as challenging as Legendary and Mega showdowns, trainers may still want to take the time to spend someStardust, Candy, and Elite TMsto get everything in order before the fight.
Glaceon Weaknesses
This tier 3 Battle Raid boss is a pure Ice-type, which means thatGlaceon is weak against Fighting-, Fire-, Steel-, and Rock-type moves.
Glaceon Resistances (Avoid These!)
Glaceon is resistant against Ice-typeattacks. Players should avoid putting Pokemon reliant on those move types in their lineup.
Reshiram - Fire Fang/Overheat
Darmanitan - Fire Fang/Overheat
Assembling a counter roster based on those suggestions should be all it takes to defeat Glaceon in tier three Battle Raids. Be sure to stick to the recommended counter types and enter the battle with enough allies around to help out and earn that one attempt victory.
