Field Notes ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)

Observed in the wild only in the Shiver Snows, Glaclide is easy to lose against the terrain and easiest to find by watching the ice itself: the frog crosses frozen ponds by dropping onto its belly and sliding, leaving faint wet streaks where its meltwater-slicked skin has passed. The gloss is constant — the skin appears to stay just warm enough to keep a film of liquid over the ice-blue surface, which likely explains the frictionless skating. Its eyes are its one concession to visibility, a bright point of color in an otherwise white field.

Housekeeping details from the ledger: Dex number 46, immediately ahead of its evolution Glacone at #47. It spawns under any weather condition, is not an event-limited creature, and — worth noting for gear planners — this base stage carries no EM slot. No trait rolls specific to Glaclide have been catalogued yet; the general trait tiers (Normal 6.5%, Rare 2.7%, Legendary 1.5%) apply as with any capture.

Base Stats & Battle Role ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)

Community-verified base stats: 38 HP, 56 Attack, 35 Defense, 53 Sp. Atk, 35 Sp. Def, 45 Speed — 262 total, which is exactly what a first-stage specimen should read. The spread leans offensive on both fronts, with physical Attack (56) a hair ahead of Sp. Atk (53), so Glaclide functions as a modest mixed attacker; both defenses at 35 over 38 HP mean it does not survive being hit back with any grace, and 45 Speed rarely lets it move first. Field verdict: a hit-and-swap piece, not an anchor.

Its Ice typing does the real work. Glaclide hits Grass, Ground, Flying, and Dragon types for advantage — the Dragon coverage in particular stays relevant all game — while resisting Water and Ice. Keep it far from Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel opponents, all of which strike it super-effectively into those paper defenses. A nature that props up Attack or Sp. Atk (each nature shifts one stat +10%, another -10%) and a high talent grade roll go a long way here; consult the Type Chart before committing it to a slot.

Evolution & Where to Find ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)

Glaclide is caught wild in the Shiver Snows, under any weather, using any catch ball — an Advance Ball guarantees the capture at a 100% rate if you would rather not gamble the encounter. It is the base stage of a three-stage line: it evolves into Glacone, whose ledger entry reads 'Via Evo' — Glacone cannot be caught wild and is obtained only by evolving this frog. Ice Element Stones are the documented evolution material for Ice-type lines, and they turn up in shops, chests, and redeem codes (thirteen codes are active as of this writing; see the codes page).

Beyond Glacone the line continues to Glacitadel, though that stage's exact acquisition method is not yet documented in community sources — treat it as reported rather than settled. Practical advice from the field: since the base stage's 262 stat total is strictly a stepping stone, catch a Glaclide with a favorable nature and talent grade in Shiver Snows, then spend the stone without sentiment.
