Glacia had trained in an unspecified region before journeying to Hoenn to become part of the third installment of the Elite Four. She has a team consisting of five very powerful Ice-type Pokémon, to which she refers as having "flaming passion in icy cold."
"Welcome, my name is Glacia of the Elite Four. I've traveled from afar to Hoenn so that I may hone my icy skills. But all I have seen are challenges by weak Trainers and their Pokémon. What about you? It would please me to no end if I could go all out against you!"
Being defeated
"You and your Pokémon... How hot your spirits burn! The all-consuming heat overwhelms. It's no surprise that my icy skills failed to harm you."
After being defeated
"Advance to the next room. And there, confirm the truly fearsome side of the Pokémon League."
"Hello, <player>. I trust you haven't become complacent with your power? If you feel the need to cool your hot emotions just a little, do come to the Pokémon League..."
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, she is one of the Hoenn Elite Four who struggled to reawaken Registeel, Regirock, and Regice, so that Groudon and Kyogre's destruction would not bring about the end of Hoenn. She traveled to the Island Cave to try to free Regice, but was unsuccessful even with her powers until Steven succeeded in decoding the Braille message needed for the Regis' resurrection. With Phoebe, she was put in charge of Regice and labored days on end to stop the calamity in Sootopolis City before Steven died from the strain of controlling the Regis and taking command of the 6-men group.

On hand
Glalie ♂
Glacia's Glalie was only seen with the Hoenn Elite Four where they were planning things out and at the entrance of Island Cave. Apparently, she uses the ice made from its horns to form a parasol-like protection.
None of Glalie's moves are known and its Ability is Inner Focus.
Glacia was in charge of controlling Regice with Phoebe. It fled their control after Steven passed away. In the Emerald arc, it along with the other golems were recaught by Brandon.
