Glastrier is an Ice type Pokemon that was introduced in Generation VIII. It is a Legendary Pokemon from the Crown Tundra and is thus not known to evolve from or into any other Pokemon. It can, however, fuse with Calyrex to become Ice Rider Calyrex using the Reins of Unity.

Appearance
Glastrier is a white, horse shaped Pokemon that has a face covered with an icy mask. It has light blue coloring about its body with that the major part of its colour palette alongside the colour white. Its mane is also made of ice while its eyes have no visible pupils. Its legs have ice covering its hooves, as well and the ice is nearly indestructible as it is plentiful, with it said to be much stronger than diamond.
Behavior
Its hooves emit extreme cold and it has incredible strength, with it a notably aggressive Pokemon. Glastrier has been known to forcefully take resources and is very slow, but it has the ability to freeze the ground and slide across the ice very quickly. Its powerful legs can traverse any conditions, even deep, heavy snow. Glastrier prefers to serve those it deems worthy and is very arrogant with it once the Crown Tundra’s ruler.
Strengths and Weaknesses
As an Ice type Pokémon, Glastrier is weak against Fighting, Rock, Steel and Fire moves and will take twice the normal damage from them. It is not immune to any types but is resistant to Ice types, which will do half the damage. There is no advantage or disadvantage with Normal, Water, Flying, Fairy, Grass, Electric, Poison, Ground, Psychic, Bug, Ghost, Dark and Dragon type Pokemon.
Best moveset (Glastrier)
Glastrier has a lot of strong moves including Hyper Beam and Giga Impact, which are moves that have 150 power and 90% accuracy. Here are Glastrier’s best moves: both Hyper Beam and Giga Impact result in the user being unable to move the next turn. Outrage lasts two to three turns and confuses the target while Blizzard has 70% accuracy and 10% chance to freeze the target, and it cannot miss in hail.

| Giga Impact | Blizzard |
How to catch Glastrier in Pokemon Go?
Glastrier cannot be found in Pokemon Go as it is not available in the game yet. Recently a Sword and Shield Ultra Unlock event brought the traditional Legendaries, Zacian and Zamazenta, to the game through five star Raids, so it may make its way into the game eventually.

Trivia

- Glastrier may draw inspiration from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
- Glastrier may be based on Hengroen, a stallion owned by King Arthur.
FAQs
How big is Glastrier?
Glastrier is a massive Pokemon and it stands over seven feet tall (7 feet 3 inches) and weighs a whopping 1763.7 pounds. It is one of the heaviest Pokemon in all of the games and even weighs 1000 pounds more than Arceus, who is essentially the god of Pokemon.
Is Glastrier in Pokemon Sword and Shield?
Yes, but with a catch as Pokemon Sword and Shield players cannot ordinarily acquire Glastrier. However, with the Crown Tundra DLC, it can be acquired in the Crown Tundra. Players have to find and defeat Calyrex, another Legendary Pokemon, before finding Glastrier and Spectrier.
Is there a shiny Glastrier?
No. Some shiny Legendary Pokemon do exist but Glastrier is so new to the Pokemon world and hasn’t even made it into Pokemon Go (where many Pokemon get shiny variants).
Where can Glastrier be?
Glastrier and Spectrier are two of the rarest Pokemon. They were both just introduced in Generation VIII as part of the Crown Tundra DLC, so not even every Sword and Shield player has access to them. They also are found after finding and defeating the original Legendary, Calyrex, so they are difficult to find for players who do have access to them.
Conclusion
Glastrier is not the most popular Pokemon and is also one of the least owned in the games. Not only is it exclusive to the most recent release, Sword and Shield, it is a DLC exclusive. If your Pokedex has this or Spectrier in it, you are one of the few. Glastrier has very high base stats and is one of the biggest Pokemon.
