Glalie can be defeated in tier-three raids in Pokémon GO using a strong team of Pokémon with super-effective moves. After defeating the raid boss, players will have a chance to catch Glalie. Although a Shiny version of Glalie exists in the game, the raid boss currently can't spawn one after being defeated. However, winning raids against Glalie will help players earn a variety of rewards such as TMs, Rare Candies, and Stardust.
It's possible for players to defeat Glalie alone, but since it appears as a tier-three raid boss, it's recommended that a few other trainers join the battle. Players can invite their friends in Pokémon GO after starting a raid by using the button on the right side of the screen above the selected Pokémon team. Defeating Glalie quickly will award more Premier Balls that can be used to try to catch it after the raid is won.
As an Ice-type Pokémon, Glalie's stats can be boosted by snowy weather. Without the boost, it usually appears with a CP over 14,000, and it can be caught at a CP between 1,138 and 1,203. The caught Glalie's health, defense, and attack stats will depend on if it is a one, two, or three-star Pokémon. Glalie can be appraised after being caught to view its star rating and various stats.
