What are the benefits and drawbacks of using Ice Shard instead of Freeze-Dry on Mega Glalie?

Jan. 27, 2015

I’m gonna be using Mega Glalie. Here’s my set:

Glalie @ GlalititeAbility: Inner Focus -> RefrigerateJolly / Naughty NatureEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 SpD-Double-Edge-Earthquake-Explosion-Ice Shard / Freeze-Dry

If I was to run Freeze-Dry, I’d shift the 4 EVs to SpA and run Naughty. Can someone help me on which move I should use, and why? Please provide specific pros and cons for both.

ProsAlways goes firstGets STABCan win a gameCovers Dragons and Lando-T pretty well

ConsNot enough powerPretty much useless against Ice-type switch ins with that base power

ConsAgainst a special wall, Glalie won’t do anything with those EVsCan cost you the game. Glalie doesn’t have the greatest speedIce Beam outclasses by far

Yep. So use Ice beam.

Hope this helps!-It’s a secret!
