Pokemon Unite: Glaceon

The Eevee that evolves into Glaceon has similarities to the one that evolves into Sylveon and Espeon. Its ability is not Adaptability nor Anticipation, but Run Away instead. This negates one hindrance and gives Eevee invincibility for a brief period of time. However, this ability goes on cooldown after it is activated, at which point it will not negate a hindrance. Eevee still has Swift but instead of Growl or Baby Doll Eyes it has Tail Whip. This move lowers the opponent’s defenses and movement speed for a short period of time, and guarantees the next basic attack is boosted. At level 4 it evolves into Glaceon and gets the ability Snow Cloak, which works almost the same as Run Away but it also has Glaceon sneak. Its basic attack gives it an ice crystal every third use as well as dealing additional damage. Swift gets replaced with Icicle Spear or Icy Wind. The first uses stored ice crystals, but will generate two if the user has none. When they land on an opponent, nearby opponents will take damage as well. This move deals increasingly more damage if they hit the same opponent. Additionally, landing this move reduces the cooldown of its other move. The other has Glaceon dash forward, and has its next basic attack work similarly to Icicle Spear. It doesn’t deal as much damage as Icicle Spear, but the user gets back the ice crystals it used. Similar to Icicle Spear, if the user has no ice crystals, it will generate two. Landing four will lower the opponent’s speed, and this effect is increased relative to how many additional ice crystals hit after four hit. At level 6, Tail Whip gets replaced with Freeze Dry or Ice Shard. The first increases the user’s special attack for a brief period of time. Additionally, it creates an area that can damage opponents. For every opponent hit, the user gets two ice crystals. After a set amount of time, the area will no longer deal damage, but it will slow down opponents, and if they are in the area for long enough, they will be frozen (similar to how some of Ninetales and Mamoswine’s moves work). The other increases the user’s movement speed for a brief period of time. Its basic attack also gets faster shortly after using it and changes to slow down the opponent. Additionally, landing this special basic attack will give the user two ice crystals. At level 9, Glaceon gets the Unite Move Glacial Stage. This creates a large area that deals damage to opponents within it. While in this area, Glaceon will have increased movement speed while opponent’s are decreased. It also passively gains ice crystals while active. At level 10, Icicle Spear and Icy Wind deal increased damage (besides the attack increase from leveling up). At level 12, Ice Shard increases attack speed for the entire duration of the move, and Freeze Dry grants an additional ice crystal for each opponent hit.
