Glaceon

Glaceon (グレイシア, Gureishia, Glacia in original Japanese language versions) is a pure Ice-type Pokémon found in Sinnoh by leveling up an Eevee near the Ice Rock. May from the anime evolved her Eevee into Glaceon.

Appearance
Glaceon is almost fox-like. Its fur is a light-blue color, with diamond-shaped patterns in a darker shade of blue. It has three diamond shaped things protruding from its forehead, and from them come a medium blue fronds, with a darker blue pattern on them. Its paws are also a dark blue, as are the inside of its ears.

Special Abilities
Glaceon has the ability Snow Cloak, which will raise its evasion in hailing weather. It can freeze its fur into protective needles when endangered. By controlling its body heat, Glaceon can also freeze the air around it to make a diamond-dust flurry.

Behavior
Glaceon will spike up their fur into protective needles to protect themselves if endangered or threatened.

Habitat
Glaceon are Ice-type Pokémon, so they like to live in cold, probably snowy, places.

Name Origin
Glaceon's name comes from the words Glacier and Eon. Glaciers are a huge mass of ice slowly flowing over a land mass, formed from compacted snow in an area where snow accumulation exceeds melting and sublimation. Eon is just an extension meaning over a long period of time, mainly because Glaceon is one of the many evolutions of Eevee.
