{{nihongo|'''Glalie'''|オニゴーリ|Onigōri|'''Onigohri''' in original [[Japanese language]] versions}} are one of the {{pokenum}} [[List of Pokémon|fictional Pokémon species]] of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar<ref name=sev>{{cite web|url=http://sev.prnewswire.com/entertainment/20051004/LATU06404102005-1.html|title=Pokemon Franchise Approaches 150 Million Games Sold|publisher=PR Newswire|accessdate=2006-02-28}}</ref> ''[[Pokémon]]'' [[media franchise]]&mdash;a collection of [[Computer and video games|video games]], [[anime]], [[manga]], [[book]]s, [[trading card]]s, and other media created by [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. Glalie debuted in [[2002 in video gaming|2002]] in the Japanese versions of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'']]. In all aspects of the franchise, Glalie, as with all other Pokémon, are used to [[Pokémon game mechanics#Pokémon battles|battle]] both wild, untamed Pokémon and tamed Pokémon owned by [[Pokémon trainer]]s.<ref> [http://uk.gameboy.ign.com/articles/389/389660p1.html ''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Pokémon Sapphire'' Review (page 1)] ''Ign.com''. Retrieved on [[March 3]], [[2007]].</ref>

''Glalie'' is likely a [[portmanteau]] of ''[[glacier]]'' and ''goalie'', as a reference to it's mask like face, although it is far more likely a take on the word ''lie'', symbolizing its rather dark appearance or behavior (or the ''lie'' portion may be there purely for [[aesthetic]] purposes). It's "Glail" part could also be part of ''gale'', a strong wind. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鬼 (''oni''), demon, and 氷 (''kōri''), ice. Its name could also be a [[pun]] on お握り (''onigiri''), [[onigiri|rice ball]], to which it has a slight resemblance. The name ''Glalie'' refers to the species as a whole, as well as to individual specimens in the games, anime, manga, trading cards, and other media.

==Biological characteristics==
Glalie shares physical similarities with an [[ice hockey]] [[goaltender|goalie]]'s [[goalie mask|mask]] as well as with the Japanese rice food ''[[onigiri]]''. In addition, it bears a resemblance to the head of [[Shin Getter Robo]]'s Shin Getter-1 form, particularly with the placement of its outer shell's gaps and the two protruding horns.
Glalie also resembles a skull. <br />
It's body is covered with snow, leaving a few gaps for its eyes, mouth, and horns.<br />
According to Pokemon the Official Website's Pokedex:<br />

----Glalie has the power to freely control ice.
It freezes its foe, and eats it in leisurely fashion.<br />

==Role==
===In the ''Pokémon'' video games===
Glalie are featured in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'']] of the [[Pokémon (video games)|Pokémon video game series]]. Originally in Japanese, but later translated into other languages, the games have sold over 143&nbsp;million copies worldwide. <ref>"[http://web.archive.org/web/20050314021722/http://www.time.com/time/asia/magazine/99/1122/pokemon6.fullinterview1.html The Ultimate Game Freak: Interview with Satoshi Tajiri]", ''TimeAsia.com'' URL Accessed [[July 12]], [[2006]] ([[Waybacked]]).</ref>

Glalie are never seen in the wild. They can be obtained only by evolving [[Snorunt]], which, without trading, are found rarely, and only in Shoal Cave in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Ruby'', ''Sapphire'']], and ''[[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]''. [[Pokémon evolution|Evolution]] in the Pokémon universe is a type of [[metamorphosis|metamorphic]] change, usually caused by gaining experience in battle.<ref name=dum> "[http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/dummies.html Pokemon For Dummies]" ''Pokemonelite2000.com''. URL Accessed [[May 25]], [[2006]].</ref> <ref> http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/362/general ''PsyPokes.com''. </ref> The only legitimate way of obtaining Glalie is to evolve Snorunt. However, players using a [[GameShark]] or other cheating device can capture a Glalie in the wild.<ref> [http://xs.gameshark.com/xploder/xploderui.asp?PID=94&SID=2872539&gameid=18252&tab=gc "GameShark Cheats for obtaining Pokémon in ''Pokémon Ruby''"], ''GameShark.com''. URL Accessed [[March 6]], [[2007]].</ref>

Glalie is one of only four pure ice-type Pokémon in the franchise (the others are [[Snorunt]], [[Regice]], and [[Glacia]]). As Glalie is an [[Pokémon types#Ice-Type|Ice-Type]], its attacks are particularly effective against [[Pokémon types#Flying-Type|Flying-]], [[Pokémon types#Ground-Type|Ground-]], [[Pokémon types#Grass-Type|Grass-]], and [[Pokémon types#Dragon-Type|Dragon-Types]], but [[Pokémon types#Fire-Type|Fire-]], [[Pokémon types#Fighting-Type|Fighting-]], [[Pokémon types#Rock-Type|Rock-]], and [[Pokémon types#Steel-Type|Steel-Types]] are particularly effective against it.<ref> http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/362/general ''PsyPokes.com''. </ref> Ice-Types do little damage to Glalie, and Glalie does little damage to other Ice-Types. All other types have no particular advantage or disadvantage over Glalie.<ref> [http://serebii.net/games/type.shtml Serebii.net Games - Type MatchUp] ''Serebii.net''. URL accessed [[December 19]], [[2006]].</ref>

All Pokémon have specific [[Statistic (role-playing games)|statistical ratings]] of the qualities, such as power, speed, and vitality, which help them in battles. All ratings can be improved by certain costly items available in the game.<ref> [http://guides.ign.com/guides/496231/page_3.html List of Power-up Items], ''IGN.com''. </ref> Glalie's statistics are unusual among Pokémon in that every statistic has the same base value; none of Glalie's stats start out higher than another. Their Inner Focus ability ensures that they will not suffer the "Flinching" effects of moves.<ref> http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/362/general ''PsyPokes.com''. </ref> The second, Icy Body, which is only usable in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'']], restores health when it is hailing during the battle instead of doing damage.
Glalie learn the same moves that Snorunt learn, with the addition of Sheer Cold.

===In the ''Pokémon'' anime===
[[Image:Glalie.jpg|frame|left|[[Ash Ketchum]]'s Glalie in the anime]]
The [[Pokémon (anime)|''Pokémon'' anime]] [[Television program|series]] and [[film]]s are a meta-series of adventures separate from the [[canon (fiction)|canon]] that most of the ''Pokémon'' video games (excepting ''[[Pokémon Yellow]]''<ref>[http://uk.gameboy.ign.com/articles/162/162045p1.html ''Pokémon Yellow'' Critical Review] ''Ign.com''. Retrieved on [[March 3]], [[2007]]</ref>) follow. The anime features the quest of [[Ash Ketchum]],<ref name="ash"> [http://www.psypokes.com/anime/index.php ''Pokémon'' anime overview] ''Psypokes.com''. URL Accessed [[May 25]], [[2006]].</ref> a young Pokémon trainer, as he and several other companions travel around the world with their Pokémon partners.

[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Glalie while in [[Hoenn]]. It evolved from his [[Snorunt]] in Episode 400, ''Rhaspody In Drew''. He keeps it throughout the season, and uses it multiple times, including battles in Episode 402, ''Like A Meowth To Flame'', and Episode 405, ''Shocks and Bonds''. Later, he leaves it at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab upon returning from Hoenn.

===In the ''Pokémon'' trading card game===
Glalie appear several times in the ''[[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]'', a [[collectible card game]] in which players simulate [[Pokémon game mechanics#Pokémon battles|Pokémon battles]].<ref>[http://www.pokemon-tcg.com/p_strategy/rulebooks/book_68.jsp#431 ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' "How to play" guide] ''Pokemon-tcg.com''. URL Accessed [[July 3]], [[2006]].</ref> Glalie cards are typical, Stage-1 Pokémon cards.<ref> [http://www.pokebeach.com/howtoplay.shtml ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' glossary] ''Pokebeach.com''. URL Accessed [[July 21]], [[2006]].</ref> Glalie have made two appearances as water-type:

*''EX: Emerald''
