My Favorite Pokemon

My Favorite Pokemon is Glaceon. 

I like Glaceon because it is part of the Eeveelutions, my favorite evolution chain in Pokemon, plus, its super cool. Literally! Glaceon is an ice type.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love the Eeveelutions. I have an Eeveelutions backpack, Eeveelutions stuffies, an Eeveelution water bottle… you get the picture. The Eeveelutions are a group of nine super-adorable Pokemon that each evolve from Eevee and are each a different type. Most people think Eevee shouldn’t count as an Eeveelution because all the others evolve from it. But I think their opinions are unjustified and Eevee should count as an Eeveelution.

Here is a ton more about Glaceon from Bulbapedia: Glaceon

Pokémon Card Game

My Thoughts on How to Use Your Glaceon in a Card Game Match

The card we have as an example has an HP of 90. Lots of other versions of this card have even stronger HP (Hit Points, Strength). It’s ability is Freeze Zone that take away the retreat cost of each of your Team Plasma Pokémon by two energies. Like all other Glaceon cards it is a Water Type on the card but is an Ice Type everywhere else (there is no energy icon for Ice Type energy).

It’s attack is Icy Wind, which costs three energies and does 60 damage and has a side effect of making the opposing Pokémon Asleep. That means that the Pokémon cannot retreat or attack until the player gets a heads on a coin toss. Glaceon has a weakness against Steel Types and has no resistance (all attacks do the same damage to Glaceon except for Steel Types).

This Glaceon’s retreat cost is two energies.

I usually put a weaker Pokémon in the active spot to power up Glaceon’s Icy Wind attack. When the weaker Pokémon faints I bring in Glaceon and use Icy Wind.

A note about Eeveelutions

I have a Pokémon deck made up of all Eeveelutions – it is my very favorite deck. It does take a little bit of time to get going, but once you start to attack it is really hard to beat.

Pokémon Video Game

I like to use my Glaceon in video games (Pokémon Sword and Shield) to defeat types that Glaceon is strong against like Bug, Grass, and Flying.
