Glastrier (Japanese: ブリザポス Burizaposu) is an Ice-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Glastrier fuses with Calyrex using the Reins of Unity to become Ice Rider Calyrex.
Biology
Glastrier is an equine Pokémon with a white coat and has light blue ice covering parts of its body. Its mane consists of ice spikes, with three rows behind its neck and a single large spike between its ears. Both have ice behind them, connecting to the mask of ice that covers its left face. Its eyes are white with no visible pupil. Its thin tail is covered in ice that has four spikes jutting out from the sides. Its legs have ice covering its hooves and fetlocks, with the front pair's ice extending to its knees.
Glastrier has a coat of ice covering its face which is 100 times harder than diamond. It emits extreme cold from its hooves and possesses incredible physical strength. Glastrier is noted to be an aggressive Pokémon that forcefully takes resources. It was also known to be very proud and arrogant, preferring to serve those it deems the strongest. It was known to terrorize the residents of Crown Tundra until it was tamed by Calyrex using the Reins of Unity. It has a fondness for Carrot Seeds, particularly Iceroot Carrot.

Trivia
Origin
Glastrier, like its counterpart Spectrier, may draw inspiration from the mythological Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Glastrier representing the white horse of Conquest given its belligerent nature and purported desire to take anything it wants by force. It may also be based on the white-colored knight chess piece.
The appearance of Glastrier may be based on the unicorn, the national animal of Scotland – which is the country that the Crown Tundra is based on. The unicorn in mythology is also said to be extremely wild and can only be tamed by the pure of heart; Glastrier is noted to be very aggressive and only the graceful Calyrex was able to tame it. Spectrier and Glastrier may also be based on Liath Macha and Dub Sainglend, two chariot horses of the hero Cúchulainn of Irish Mythology.
Alternatively, Glastrier may be based on Hengroen, a stallion owned by King Arthur in the Welsh tale Culhwch and Olwen.
Name origin
Glastrier may be a combination of glacier and destrier, a type of medieval war horse.
Burizaposu may be a combination of blizzard and ἵππος híppos (Greek for horse) or horse.
