Strategy & play
How Froslass GL plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Inflicts Sleep — they flip each turn to wake, so it’s a coin-flip lock: disruptive but unreliable on its own.
- Its main attack (Wake-Up Slap) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Needs Psychic Energy to attack — note its own type is Water, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
- Water type, weak to Metal ×2 — a Metal attacker doing ≥35 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Froslass GL
- Exploit its Metal weakness — ≥35 damage one-shots it.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Froslass GL is real?
