Best strategy and conditions to solo defeat Glaceon in Pokemon GO
When you challenge Glaceon on your own, ensure you are using only level 40+ counters. This will make sure that you inflict enough damage within the 180 seconds that you get to beat the challenge.
Use the weather to your advantage. Sunny/Clear weather boosts Fire-type moves, Partly Cloudy weather boosts Rock-type moves, and Fighting and Steel-types are boosted by Cloudy and Snowy weather, respectively.
