'''Ash's Glalie''' (Japanese: '''サトシのオニゴーリ''' ''Satoshi's Onigohri'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and his twenty-seventh overall.

Glalie debuted in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]'' on [[Izabe Island]] as a Snorunt. It followed {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} through the snow to the [[Pokémon Center]], where it began to cause trouble and stole Ash's [[Badge]] case. A chase ensued, with Snorunt leaving a trail of Badges to keep Ash pursuing it. After a small meeting with Team Rocket, it froze Ash with Icy Wind and left the Center through the window into an oncoming snowstorm. Ash followed it, and they ended up lost in the snow. After Ash got knocked unconscious by protecting it from a small avalanche, Snorunt took him to a cave for refuge and provided him with apples while they waited out the conditions. As Ash began to trust the mischievous Pokémon, Snorunt ran off into the blizzard with his hat so it could lead the others to where Ash was. Reunited, the group scolded Snorunt and asked for the other Badges before being interrupted by Team Rocket capturing Snorunt and {{AP|Pikachu}}. Snorunt quickly escaped and saved Pikachu before battling Team Rocket's Pokémon. Later on, Snorunt still refused to return the Badge case, so Ash battled and subsequently caught it. Snorunt was later introduced to the group's other Pokémon, though it continued to prank everyone.

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', Ash chose Snorunt and Pikachu as his first two Pokémon in a [[Double Battle]] in the first round of the [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle, going up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and {{p|Seaking}}. Pikachu used {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Sealeo, but Seaking used {{m|Horn Drill}} to reflect it back to Snorunt. Pikachu then used {{m|Thunder}}, but Seaking used Horn Drill to reflect the attack to Snorunt again, but this time Pikachu protected Snorunt, taking most of the damage. Sealeo then used {{m|Blizzard}} on the two; Pikachu took a lot of damage but Snorunt barely felt the attack and jumped around happily. Snorunt then used Icy Wind to stop the Blizzard, creating an ice pillar that blocked everyone's view. When Sealeo and Seaking destroyed it, ice shards were sent up in the air, which Ash had Snorunt and Pikachu jump on to attack. Seaking then used Hyper Beam on Snorunt while Sealeo used Aurora Beam on Pikachu. Pikachu dodged, but Snorunt failed to, and the Hyper Beam knocked it out.

In ''[[AG114|Date Expectations!]]'', Ash began trying to teach Snorunt {{m|Ice Beam}}. While learning the new move, Snorunt froze people multiple times, including its Trainer and {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}}. Finally, in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', {{Ho|Robert}} recommended that it focus its energy in its head while battling Team Rocket during the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. Snorunt then evolved into a Glalie and sent them blasting off with its newly mastered Ice Beam.

Glalie had several battles in the [[Ever Grande Conference]] and proved quite a powerhouse in Ash's team. In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', it teamed up with {{AP|Grovyle}} to battle [[Clark]] and his Pokémon, {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Charizard}}. Glalie's Icy Wind did not damage either Pokémon but managed to hold off a {{m|Heat Wave}}. Grovyle and Quilava both went down, leaving Glalie against Charizard. Glalie froze up part of the battlefield to avoid Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}} but was knocked around its own ice pillars. It managed to change this to its advantage, using the momentum to raise its speed and a high-speed Headbutt to flatten Charizard and give Ash the win.

Ash used Glalie as his third Pokémon in his [[Full Battle]] against {{ho|Katie}}. It went up against her {{p|Dugtrio}}. Dugtrio used {{m|Dig}}, but Glalie used Headbutt on the ground, forcing Dugtrio to emerge and dealing damage. Glalie then used Ice Beam, knocking Dugtrio out. Glalie then went up against her {{p|Misdreavus}}. Glalie used Ice Beam, but Katie had Misdreavus take the attack. Glalie then used Headbutt, scoring a direct hit. While being hit, Misdreavus used {{m|Destiny Bond}}. The Headbutt defeated Misdreavus, but due to the effect of Destiny Bond, Glalie was also knocked out.

In ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', Ash used Glalie as his sixth and final Pokémon in his Full Battle against [[Morrison]], going up against his final Pokémon, {{TP|Morrison|Metang}}. Glalie used Headbutt while {{p|Metang}} used {{m|Take Down}}, with Take Down dealing more damage. Glalie used Ice Beam, which Metang redirected with {{m|Confusion}}, hitting Glalie. Glalie's Ice Beam was reflected a second time, but Ash saw this coming and used Icy Wind to redirect the attack back to Metang again, hitting it. Glalie hit Metang with a Headbutt, but Metang countered with a super-effective {{m|Meteor Mash}}. Glalie used Headbutt again, spinning to increase its power, while Metang used Meteor Mash. Just before the collision, Glalie ducked, avoiding the Meteor Mash and hitting with the spinning Headbutt, knocking Metang out, winning Ash the battle, and moving him to the next round of the Victory Tournament.

In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Glalie returned to Ash's team for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Upon seeing its Trainer, it froze Ash with Ice Beam, which led {{AP|Torkoal}}  to thaw him out with a {{m|Flamethrower}}. In ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', Glalie was seen training with {{AP|Torterra}} and {{AP|Infernape}} before Ash's battle with [[Conway]]. Ash was initially going to use Glalie because of its power to try to overwhelm Conway but he changed his mind as he knew that he couldn't depend on sheer power alone. Glalie was not seen participating in the Lily of the Valley Conference.

A running gag in the anime had it freeze people with its {{type|Ice}} attacks, with Ash typically being on the receiving end. Even after gaining control over its attacks and evolving into Glalie, it continued to freeze its Trainer, although now out of affection.
