Glastrier @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Chilling Neigh
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Icicle Crash
- High Horsepower
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Despite great defensive stats and high Attack, Glastrier finds itself in ZU alongside fellow struggling legendary Regirock. Here, it can use its stats to 1v1 a large portion of the metagame. Icicle Crash and High Horsepower provide coverage against most Pokemon in the tier. Only a few outliers like Cryogonal and Orthworm resist these moves. Rest provides Glastrier with recovery against chip damage and status. This allows it to avoid being shut down by status users such as Weezing and Sableye while still exerting offensive pressure with Sleep Talk. Checks like Clawitzer, Typhlosion, and Hitmontop don't like to switch in on Glastrier, as its heavy-hitting attacks can quickly wear them down. Glastrier pairs well with Lanturn due to its ability to act as a pivot and resist Fire-type moves. Snorlax and Weezing are also decent partners since they are good against Fire- and Fighting-types, respectively. Because this set runs only two attacking moves and no setup, it can lose to setup sweepers like Curse Snorlax and physical walls like Orthworm. This can be remedied by running wallbreakers and Encore users such as Toxicroak and Sableye.
