Pokémon GO: 7 Sinnoh Pokémon We Can’t Wait To Catch

Neither Grass or Ice are that great in the current meta, so those wanting to battle with an Eeveelution will be sticking to Vaporeon again. Espeon will do in a pinch, but the arrival of Sylveon in Generation VI should shake things up more.

Until then though, Glaceon provides a reliable Pokédex entry and might fare better in gym battles than raids. Those lucky enough to pick up shinies on the Eevee community day might use them here. If shiny Leafeon doesn’t do it for you, the pull of getting a special shimmering white Glaceon instead of the store bought icy blue kind might be too much to resist.

One thing Glaceon does have against it is the others in its field. Despite Grass type popularity, there’s a lot of low cards in that deck for Leafeon to rise above. To be the ice king or queen though, there’s Jynx, Lapras and newcomer Mamoswine to take out first.

Glaceon might end up being one of those ‘mons who’s best function is looking pretty. But not to worry. It does that very well.
