Move 1: Wish
Move 2: Protect
Move 3: Toxic
Move 4: Frost Breath/Ice Beam
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Ice Body
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Def / 4 SpAtt
Nature: Bold
Moves
=========
- Classical Wish/Protect combination for keeping healthy
- Toxic can cripple at HP of opposing walls or limit the time of a sweeper
- Frost Breath/Ice Beam in the fourth slot for a STAB attacking move.
I personally prefer Frost Breath as it can simply ignore the boosts in Special Defense of Calm Mind users such as Musharna or Xatu.
=========
- The EV spread tries to maximize the physical defensive powers of Glaceon, making fully use of its Base 110 Defense.
- The Bold nature is chosen for the same reason as above.
Usage Tips
=========
- Find an opening to cripple an opposing pokémon with Toxic, (ab)use the Wish/Protect combination.
- Try to anticipate incoming Steel and Poison types to either switch out to a counter or attack with Frost Breath/Ice Beam.
Team Options
=========
- A strong Fighting type like Sawk or Primeape are excellent partners who can hit Steel types hard with a STAB Close Combat or Earthquake (which can also hit Specially Defensive Poison types who can easily take Frost Breath/Ice Beam).
- Partners with Fire type moves are very much appreciated.
- A team mate with Defog or Rapid Spin as Glaceon is weak to Stealth Rocks.
- Since Glaceon cannot heal itself from status moves, a partner with Heal Bell is also much appreciated by Glaceon.
Other Options
########
- Special Defensive Wall, but will be less effective in taking hits.
- Standard Choice Specs/Scarf attacker (but not the subject of this thread)
########
- As mentioned above, this set cannot hit Steel types. Specially Defensive Poison types are also a pain for Glaceon.
- Bulky water types, especially those who can cure themselves from Toxic.
- Strong super effective special attacks will be able easily OHKO or 2HKO the physical defensive set and vice versa.
