Recommended Group Size

Fortunately, this battle against Mega Glalie shouldn't give you too much trouble compared to other, more difficult Mega Raids. Possessing several weaknesses and lacking significant bulk, you should be able to comfortably defeat Mega Glalie with a Raid group of two to five Trainers.

That being said, it's important that those in your group are using strong counters to Mega Glalie. Without doing this, you will need to put together a larger group to guarantee your success with this Mega Raid.

Mega Glalie: Strengths And Weaknesses

Being a pure Ice-type Pokemon, Mega Glalie only has a handful of strengths and weaknesses on the battlefield. Luckily for you, this Mega Evolution only possesses one major strength: its resistance to Ice-type attacks. For this reason, this is the only type that you will want to avoid using when putting together your Raid team.

Working in your favor, Mega Glalie has four different types that it is weak against: Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel types. Although this Pokemon isn't double weak to any of these types, you should easily find success when putting together a group of Pokemon, as long as they use attacks of either of these four weaknesses.

To increase your damage output and overall chances of success, it's important that you are utilizing and taking advantage of the Same Type Attack Bonus mechanic.

To activate this bonus, use attacks that match the type of the Pokemon performing them, increasing the damage that it deals as a result.
