Strategy Overview
Glastrier's astronomical Attack stat along with a great offensive typing and useful coverage in Close Combat, Crunch, and High Horsepower gives it a niche as a potent wallbreaker. Additionally, great natural bulk even uninvested lets Glastrier take neutral hits reasonably well from a plethora of threats in the tier. However, what it has in offensive power, Glastrier lacks in defensive utility. Despite its great bulk, Glastrier's poor defensive typing gives it a weakness to Stealth Rock and leaves it vulnerable to foes like Charizard, Gallade, and Lycanroc. Glastrier's miserable Speed stat only exacerbates this issue, leaving it outsped by Pokemon like Weezing and Jellicent and makes it prone to being revenge killed by the likes of Gallade, Galarian Articuno, and Centiskorch. In addition to this, Glastrier struggles to make progress against Pokemon like Levitate Weezing, Quagsire, and Doublade, making its performance as a wallbreaker somewhat questionable against more defensively-oriented teams. Furthermore, it faces stiff competition as an Ice-type wallbreaker from Sneasel, which boasts better Speed, a more useful offensive typing that gives it access to STAB Knock Off, and a stronger Ice-type STAB attack in Triple Axel.
