Glaceon (Japanese: グレイシア Glacia) is an -type Pokémon and is one of the seven evolutionary forms of Eevee.

Appearance
Glaceon bears a resemblance to several types of animals, much like its pre-evolved form, including a dog, cat and fox. Its fur is a light-blue color, with diamond-shaped patterns on its back, tail, and ears in a darker shade of blue. Glaceon also has diamond-like shapes on its forehead.

According to the Pokédex, Glaceon can control their body heat and freeze the air around them to create a diamond-dust flurry.

Anime


May of Petalburg City evolved her Eevee into a Glaceon at Ice Rock. It debuted in A Full Course Tag Battle! when May appeared in the Diamond and Pearl anime. May used her Glaceon in Strategy With A Smile! against Dawn's Piplup, and lost by only a couple of points.

There was a statue of Glaceon and Leafeon in the bell tower in the Pokémon movie The Rise of Darkrai. Also, Glaceon and the rest of the evolutions of Eevee made a brief cameo appearance at the beginning of Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

Name Origin
The name Glaceon comes from the Latin word glacies, meaning ice, from which we also get the term glacier (a large, slow-moving mass of ice and snow accumulated over the course of centuries, capable of destroying mountains and reshaping whole continents in its wake).
