From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Glalie (Japanese: オニゴーリ Onigohri) is an Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves from Snorunt starting at level 42. It is one of Snorunt's final forms, the other being Froslass. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Glalie using the Glalitite.
Biology
Glalie is a spherical Pokémon that consists of a black rock core covered by ice. The icy covering has several holes and spaces across this Pokémon’s body. Blue eyes and a mouth with flat teeth are visible through three of these holes. There are two large, black, conical horns on either side of Glalie's head. Its icy body will not melt, and it can control ice by freezing moisture in the air. This ability is used to freeze its opponents, which it then consumes. It can be found in caves.
Mega Glalie's mouth extends to the length of its face. The lower jaw is all black except for two light-blue, conical, icy spikes. The pupils in Mega Glalie's eyes are now red instead of black. The horns on top Mega Glalie's head have been partially turned into ice, with the addition of a third horn on its forehead.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIII, Glacia of the Hoenn Elite Four was seen in possession of a Glalie.
Noland is seen picking a Glalie as one of his rental Pokémon in his battle against Emerald in Gotcha Where I Wantcha, Glalie. Although it came close to winning by delivering a would-be-fatal Sheer Cold that succeeded in hitting its target, Emerald's Sceptile was in fact, unbeknownst to both Noland and Emerald, not meant to be a rental Pokémon and survived due to its higher level. It eventually lost to Sceptile's Iron Tail, allowing Emerald to win the Knowledge Symbol.
A Glalie appeared in Skirting Around Surskit I as a rental Pokémon that Guile Hideout stole.

Trivia
- Glalie shares all of its base stats with Phione.
- Glalie is the only pure ice type to mega evolve (and the only ice type where it's mega evolution was introduced during ORAS) and the second overall.
Origin
Similar to Jynx, Glalie is based on human features, most likely on a cold, distant person or facial expression. It also looks somewhat similar to an ice hockey mask. Due to its horns and teeth, it may be based on a standard oni or possibly even onigiri (rice ball), as its Japanese name suggests. It also resembles a hailstone.
Name origin
Glalie may be a combination of glacier and goalie.
Onigohri is a combination of 鬼 oni (demon) and 氷 kōri (ice). It may also be a pun on onigiri, which it slightly resembles. Gohri also bears phonetic similarity to goalie.
