PU Glaceon

[OVERVIEW]

The only reason to use Glaceon over the otherwise superior Aurorus is its access to Z-Celebrate, which is a mediocre set due to Glaceon's poor defensive typing that gives it a hard time setting up, its shallow movepool, and the move's one-time-use nature. It also is easily revenge killed by the likes of Choice Scarf Primeape and Kabutops and is unable to deal significant damage to threats like Articuno and Lanturn, leaving it easily taken care of.

[SET]
name: Z-Celebrate
move 1: Celebrate
move 2: Ice Beam
move 3: Hidden Power Fighting
move 4: Shadow Ball
item: Normalium Z
ability: Ice Body
nature: Timid / Modest
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

Glaceon attempts to clean with this set thanks to its high Special Attack. However, Glaceon is still fairly slow after a boost and is susceptible to getting revenge killed by faster threats like Choice Scarf Kabutops due to its mediocre typing; its typing also gives it a weakness to Stealth Rock and difficulty setting up, which it can only do one time per game. It also struggles against many Pokemon, such as Articuno and Assault Vest Hitmonchan, making it unreliable. Unlike Glaceon, Aurorus is able to get past threats like Articuno and Lanturn thanks to Hidden Power Rock and Freeze-Dry and sports a better ability and movepool, making it a more solid option.

I am not sure if I am allowed to AM check this or not, so if I am not, please feel free to delete this post! I just wanted to mention some things that might be useful.

[OVERVIEW]
The only reason to use Glaceon over the otherwise superior Aurorus is its access to Z-Celebrate, which is a mediocre set due to Glaceon's poor defensive typing, its movepool, and how it can only be used once, the former giving it a hard time setting up. It is easily revenge killed by the likes of Choice Scarf Primeape [Doesn't Aurorus also suffer from this?] and is unable to deal significant damage to threats like Articuno, leaving it easily taken care of. [While Glaceon has better defenses thanks to +1, I feel like Aurorus has four things that Glaceon doesn't. First, Blizzard + Hail chip damage does more damage to the foe than Glaceon's Ice Beam despite the stat difference. Second, Aurorus can deal damage to Water-types with Freeze-Dry, and Glaceon gets massively walled by them. Next, Aurorus can afford to use different sets, like Choice Scarf and SR setter, while Glaceon is very predictable since it has such a bad movepool. And finally, Glaceon is walled by Cuno as you say, but Aurorus can use HP Rock or Ancient Power to beat it.]

[SET]
name: Z-Celebrate
move 1: Celebrate
move 2: Ice Beam
move 3: Hidden Power Fighting
move 4: Shadow Ball / Stored Power
item: Normalium Z
ability: Ice Body / Snow Cloak [Glaceon is bad when dealing with Scarf users, it might as well have a 30% chance to dodge what's coming to them and OHKO Primeape in return]
nature: Timid / Modest
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

Glaceon attempts to clean with this set thanks to its high Special Attack. However, Glaceon is still fairly slow after a boost and is susceptible to get revenge killed by faster threats like Choice Scarf Kabutops due to its mediocre typing [Aurorus also dies to this too. Meanwhile, Glaceon at +1 does tank a Stone Edge from Kabutops, though.], also giving it a weakness to Stealth Rock and difficulty setting up, which it can only do one time per game [I feel like this is what ultimately kills Glaceon. Set up only once, and if they bring a Scarf user to you, dead weight it is then.]. It also struggles against many Pokemon, such as Articuno and Assault Vest Hitmonchan, making it unreliable.

1/2, good work

 

[tondas]

would group scarf kabutops with primeape in the overview just to emphasize how two of the most common scarfers can revenge kill it easily.

stored power is illegal with celebrate so remove it from the set.

besides that i don't have much to add so qc 2/2

 

[Lumari]

remove add / fix (comments); (AC=add comma; RC=remove comma; SC=semicolon)
GP 1/1

check
