From December 15, 2022, to Friday, December 23, 2022, Pokémon GO is featuring the debut of Mega Glalie, the Mega Evolution of the Ice-type Snow Hat Pokémon, Snorunt. This formidable wintry Raid Boss will wield over 30,000 CP, requiring at least two or more Raid groups to take down. Those with strong enough counters might be able to solo the Mega Glalie Raid, but such a feat is doubtless an exception in the Pokémon GO community. Whatever the case, understanding the Ice-type Face Pokémon’s weaknesses is crucial for achieving success in this new Mega Raid.
How to Counter Mega Glalie in a Pokémon GO Raid
Defeating Mega Glalie in a Pokémon GO Raid requires combatants with Movesets that can counter the Ice-type element. Accordingly, Mega Glalie is weak to Fighting-, Rock-, Steel-, and Fire-type attacks, while Ice-type Moves will have little effect on the Mega Face Pokémon Raid Boss.

According to suggestions by Pokebattler, the top counters to face Mega Glalie in a Pokémon GO Raid would be the Mega Charizard variations, Shadow Metagross, Terrakion, Shadow Entei, and Mega Houndoom. If a Trainer has at least three of these pocket monsters, they should be able to solo the Mega Raid. On the other hand, casual players or those who have not received the opportunity to catch any of these extremely rare Pokémon can opt to use the counters below:
