Monotype Glastrier

:ss/glastrier:
Glastrier @ Leftovers
Ability: Chilling Neigh
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Def / 200 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Icicle Crash
- High Horsepower

Glastrier's monstrous Attack stat, Chilling Neigh, and amazing bulk have made it a fearsome bulky sweeper for Ice teams, allowing it to take advantage of passive Pokemon and notably put in work against matchups like Poison and Steel. Substitute lets Glastrier tank hits from walls such as non-Flamethrower Celesteela, Porygon2, and Toxapex while setting up with Swords Dance more reliably. High Horsepower breaks through Ice-resistant Pokemon such as Toxapex, Aegislash, and Heatran under Substitute. 200 Speed EVs along with a Jolly nature are used to outpace defensive Celesteela, Tyranitar, and Galarian Weezing, while maximum HP EVs lets Glastrier keep Substitute up against foes like Blissey and Galarian Corsola. Alolan Ninetales beats troublesome Fighting-types like Urshifu-S, Keldeo, and Urshifu-R while providing Aurora Veil support. Substitute Kyurem defeats bulky walls for Glastrier such as Rotom-W and Swampert with Freeze-Dry. Defensive Cloyster gets rid of problematic entry hazards like Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes with Rapid Spin while setting its own. Choice Scarf Weavile handles threatening Ghost-types like Gengar, Spectrier, and Blacephalon.

- aside from poison and steel mu, it can take on fatter passive pokemon pretty nicely
- mention 252 hp allows it to set 101 hp subs aka unable to be broken by seismic toss/night shade
- make sure you word the kyurem line to specifically include freeze dry, since its breaking past water-type ice resists forglastrier with that. the examples you listed are great, just include that
- remove avalugg from teammates, cloyster is the superior spinner due to its ability to also setup hazards for glastrier
- mention weavile as scarf

QC 1/1
