Strategy Overview
Glalie is a very niche setup sweeper within the Anything Goes metagame due to the interesting ability Moody. By repeatedly using Protect and Substitute, Glalie is able to achieve boosts rather effortlessly. Additionally, Glalie has a sufficient movepool to aid this setup, in addition to a reliable STAB typing that nothing is immune to, unlike other Moody Pokemon. Unfortunately, Glalie has very mediocre stats and a terrible defensive typing. Glalie is relatively weak, struggling to compete with top-tier threats without multiple boosts to its Special Attack. It is also often subject to poor initial boosts and hence isn't as reliable as many other setup sweepers. Lastly, it struggles switching into anything, so it isn't able to see use unless it switches in after a Pokemon has fainted.
