It's kind of baffling but also impressive how busted Glaceon is and yet not even that thing can dethrone Zacian out of it's highest win rate.

[@Kolious_Thrace]

Every holowear influenced by the Japanese tradition is amazing! *Pokebuki* is inspired by the Flower’s festival called Hanami. When the people go to the fields and gardens and see/adore the beauty of the flowers. Holowear here are like kimonos and beautiful flowers patters. *Zoroark ghost style* This is inspired by the priests at the Japanese shrines and their power to banish evil spirits. Now this Glaceon holowear is inspired by the ancient robes that the Imperial Family used to wear. They still wear robes like this only in special occasions. Hundreds of metres of colourful silk robes… amazing!

[@killainstinct6165]

Respectfully put it back exactly how it was not a percentage lower cause no one asked for this buff I've spent a long time on Glaceon to get as skilled as I am and I don't want my pokemon nerfed into the ground like they did with mime

My nephews main is glaceon since his return to the game. Even before this recent buff he was still carrying.

[@chrisgardner6249]

It ended in a loss, but I had a game last night with Glaceon where I did 181k in damage. Only other pokemon I came somewhat close to doing that kind of damage with was zoro. xD Glaceon is completely busted, but I will always love my eevee's! I agree though, they need to nerf her. Glaceon was FINE before, they didn't need to give her a single buff. I hope they just bring her back to her pre buff state. I bought the holowear but as someone said in this comment section, I can't wear it without feeling like an ass cause of how broken she is. xD

Reason why glaceon got the buff:

[@gatometropr]

Does the crit actually comes off?

[@Shruggz_Unite]

I am a STRONG believer in compensation buffs/nerfs. If Timi is going to buff something like Glaceon, they need to nerf something else with it to keep the balance..like lower the auto attack range or increase the cooldown on Ice Shard so you can't combo your moves as easily. I dunno, these decisions are kind of mind boggling to me

[@uepa4986]

Agreed,they could make glaceon an agressive backliner with low resistence,make her hp really low like deciduey or sum

[@razerfirebrand1163]

Hi Spragels, you, CrisHeroes, and others have talked about Glaceon being OP many times. As someone that simply likes Glaceon and wants her to at least thrive in Unite, how would you balance her? Don't take this wrong, I'm subscribed to you. It's just getting kind of annoying to be reminded that her design makes it so that she's either very strong, or very weak. I don't think she has an in between. Here's the thing I don't like about Glaceon: She has a Unite Move that's largely dependent on her move set being powerful. Just think about. All her Unite Move does is give her an increase in attack speed, movement speed, keep her bar full, does little to no damage to opposing pokemon, and occasionally manages to freeze them for like, half a second. If icicle spear or icy wind were dog water, she'd be the worst pokemon in the game. To me, it seems impossible to balance her. What do you think? Can she be balanced? If so, could you make a video on it instead of how strong she is? I think we all already know her strength. A video about balancing her is one I would love to see.

@@ceruleatfc Another alternative is adding draft mode in ranked. Would make the game so much better if you could just ban out Glaceon and Zacian every game

[@ceruleatfc]

@@VioletteDrawz we would run into the problem of two Pokémons being always banned, and their players mad. They need nerfs alongside Draft Mode, like, just revert back Glaceon's damage. About Zacian, I don't really know how to nerf it until balanced, but one thing I know for sure is that he does not need the stun on SS.

[@goldenasura9325]

I’m so horrible on Glaceon. I’ve been struggling to get 6 wins with it. Hopefully this build will help me.

[@Craeonkie]

Here are a few tips on how to do better with glaceon! 1. Build ice crystal stacks You need these so your icicle spear shoots more shards. Your boosted attack gets you two shards, but when you use that secondary move, for a short time, you get 2 shards every basic attack that lands. You need 8 shards for maximum damage. Whenever you launch your shards, the cool down of your secondary move is reduced immensely, usually enough that you can immediately use it again. When you use it again, it gives you another two ice shards to shoot. So basically, what you'll want to be doing here is using your secondary, basic attacking to 8 shards, launching them all, using your secondary once you can(hopefully while the shards are launching), spamming basic attack once your icicle shard is done launching, then launch the next set and repeat. 2. Stay behind When you're in a battle, you'll want to make sure you aren't getting hit. Ideally, there is a defender up front like slow bro or snorlax tanking hits, so you can do your damage. I suggest standing around 2 meters behind the defender and using your basic attack to build your ice shards 3. Objectives I assume you already know how to show up at objectives appropriately, but if you don't, I suggest sorting by popular and checking out more of spragels videos! 4. Correct build While your build is impactful, it is still important to note that it depends on your playstyle. If you think you usually unite in a tough situation, use buddy barrier. If you think Rapid Fire Scarf is important to build ice shards up, add that. If you think you just want more base damage, use slick spoon(highly recommended). Same applies to boost emblems. 5. You can play quick matches or ask a friend to help you. You don't need to win ranked matches with glaceon. The quest is always "win ranked match 6 times" or "win 6 matches with glaceon, meaning you do not need to rank with a Pokémon you're bad at Oh well that's all I can help provide. If you got more questions check out spragels' other videos or you could ask me. Hope this helps!

How do you nerf this to actually be balanced? Make it so the icicles don’t follow forever? Significantly reduce the damage they do to justify the sure hit moves playstyle? Honesty just another OP blue dog that we’ve had to deal with for too long now.

On a side note the Timi devs who suck at balance need to remove comfey and apologize for their stupidity.

[@steve.m7443]

if they had just buffed ice shard it would still be op but not meta breaking. I actually mained Glaceon icicle spear b/f buffs and now I cant play her cuz its so cringe. Eventually it will probs get the Mime treatment and get nerfed into oblivion which at this point it deserves. sadge
