Glaceon(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Ice Pokémon that made its first appearance in the fourth generation games Diamond and Pearl. It evolves from Eevee when exposed to the Ice Rock or Ice Stone.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Glaceon is a quadrupedal, mammalian Pokémon covered in light-blue fur that can be frozen into sharp quills. It has long, pointed ears, dark eyes, and a small nose. A teal crest with two dangling flaps adorns its head, resembling hair or headgear. Glaceon has two dark blue, rhombus-shaped markings on its back; the tip of its tail, feet, and flaps are the same shade of blue.
By controlling its body temperature, the moisture in the air freezes, producing ice crystals surrounding it. It is capable of freezing its fur into sharp needle-like icicles, used to tackle its prey. It can drop its body temperature below -75 degrees Fahrenheit. Those captivated by Glaceon's beautiful snowfall will be instantly frozen without realizing it. Glaceon is rather popular in ski resorts due to its ability to create powdery snow. Glaceon is usually found in urban areas under the care of humans. It is rarely found in the wild.
Appearances[]
Main Pokémon games[]
Other Pokémon games[]
Super Smash Bros. series[]
It appears in a trophy alongside Leafeon.
Trophy descriptions[]
- A Fresh Snow Pokémon and a Verdant Pokémon. They are both evolutions of Eevee. Eevee can evolve into seven different Pokémon depending on what it has in its possession and where it is when it evolves. Glaceon is an Ice-type and can freeze all the fur on its body into protective quills. Leafeon is a Grass-type, and the air around it is always fresh and clean.
In the anime[]
Glaceon is owned by May.
Origin and inspiration[]
Like many of the Eeveelutions, Glaceon shares characteristics with foxes, dogs, and cats. It may be more closely based on an arctic fox, due to their habitat. Assuming Leafeon draws inspiration from Siamese or other colorpoint cats, Glaceon may also draw some inspiration from them (especially blue points). Its "hair" resembles an ushanka or a scarf hat.
Glaceon may be a combination of glacier (a large, slow-moving mass of ice on land) or glace (French for ice) and eon.

Trivia[]
- Glaceon's Japanese name is the same as the English name of Glacia, a member of the Hoenn Elite Four.
- As there is no Ice Rock in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is impossible to evolve Eevee into a Glaceon in these games. The same applies for Magnezone, Probopass, and Leafeon. All have to be traded from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and Pokémon Platinum to be obtained.
- Despite Eevee being obtainable before the Pokémon League in Pokémon Black and White 2, it cannot evolve into Glaceon or Leafeon until after the Elite Four is defeated. This is because Twist Mountain, where the Ice Rock is located, cannot be reached until that point in the game, as the entrances to it and the Tubeline Bridge are blocked.
- According to the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta and the data files of Pokémon Battle Revolution, Glaceon's developmental name was アイシア (Aishia).
