Pokemon Go Mega Glalie Raid guide: Weaknesses & best counters
NianticMega Glalie has made its long-awaited debut in Pokemon Go, so you’ll need to know its weaknesses and the best counters to use if you want to defeat it.
There are plenty of Mega Evolutions to choose from in Pokemon Go, but the mobile game continues to add more. Some of the Mega Evolutions available include Mega Abomasnow and Mega Glalie.
Glalie first appeared in Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire, with its Mega Evolution popping up in later generations. It’s a pure Ice-type with a very high Attack stat in Pokemon Go, so it could be a great addition to your team.
Below, you’ll find all the details you need about Mega Glalie’s weaknesses, the best counters to use in battle, and how to Mega-Evolve it.
NianticMega Glalie weaknesses in Pokemon Go
Mega Glalie is a pure Ice-type Pokemon, which means it’s weak against Fighting, Fire, Rock, and Steel-type attacks.
This also means that Mega Glalie is resistant to other Ice-type attacks and very effective against Dragon, Flying, Grass, and Ground-type Pokemon, so avoid using these wherever possible.

How to get Mega Glalie in Pokemon Go
You can’t catch Glalie in its Mega-Evolved form, but you can catch a base form Glalie if you manage to defeat Mega Glalie in a Mega Raid Battle.
Before you can Mega-Evolve a Glalie, you’ll need to stock up on its Mega Energy. You can do this by defeating more Mega Glalie in Raid Battles, and you’ll get more Mega Energy the faster you beat them.
Once you have enough Mega Energy, you can temporarily Mega-Evolve your chosen Glalie and use it in Raid Battles. It will be especially useful against Dragon, Flying, Grass, and Ground-type Raid Bosses.
Mega Glalie will appear in Raids from December 23 to January 1.
