Glastrier is one of Calyrex’s steeds inPokemon Sword/Shield. It is opposite to Spectrier with low Speed and Special Attack, but incredible base Attack, Defense, and Special Defense. In Gen 8, you had to choose between Glastrier and Spectrier for Calyrex in the Crown Tundra DLC. InPokemon Scarlet & Violet, you can get both.
The only way to “spawn” Glastrier is to have a Glastrier Treat, a key item given to you by a man named Snacksworth. However, those who want Glastrier before completing the Indigo Disk storyline are in for disappointment. Glastrier, like the other pre-Gen 9 Legendary Pokemon, can’t be caught until you’ve defeated and captured Terapagos.
How to Get Glastrier Treat (Where to Find Snacksworth)
10 BBQs (Scarlet), 1 Group BBQ (Violet)
If you’ve caught Terapagos, you’ll wake up the next day in your room at Blueberry Academy. You’ll then be called to Carmine’s classroom to speak with Ms. Briar, but if you want to get Legendary Pokemon-hunting, then you’ll want to go to theEntranceof the academy instead.
Standing in front of therow of seats on the right (facing the receptionist counter), you’ll find a man dressed in dark bluewho wasn’t there before you faced off against Terapagos. This is Snacksworth, and he’ll give you oneLegendary Pokemon Treatforevery 10 Solo BBQsor1 Group BBQ.
BBQs, or Blueberry Quests, are the assignments you’ll get while you’re in Terarium. You can do 3 at a time, and for every one that you complete, you’ll get a new one. They’re simple tasks that reward a little to average amount of BP (Blueberry Points). Fortunately for Snacksworth, you’ll only need tocomplete BBQsinstead of paying him in BP for Pokemon Treats.
If you’re playingPokemon Scarlet, you have a chance of receiving theGlastrier Treatfor completing 10 (or more) Blueberry Quests. Since the Treat is randomized, you may not get it on your first try.
How to Get Glastrier Treat in Pokemon Violet
If you’re playingPokemon Violet, you’re able to get a Glastrier Treat by completing1 Group BBQ. As their name indicates, you’ll need to be in aUnion Circleto get (and complete) a Group BBQ. Unlike regular/solo BBQs, Group BBQs are indicated on the BBQ screen (tap right on the directional pad) by theirgold background. You’ll get 1 Group BBQ for every 3 “red” BBQ you complete.
Glastrier Location in Scarlet and Violet
Glaseado Mountain
Once you receive a Glastrier Treat, Snacksworth will give you a hint about its whereabouts:
“I was off hiking among Paldea’s peaks for a bit of fun, mountain climbing being a bit of a hobby. I was trekking up and up those snowy hillsides, and I figured I must have been nearly to the summit when I came across some ruins. Perhaps they’d been a house once? The walls still looked sound enough that I thought I could take shelter and have myself a little rest. I’d no sooner drawn close for a look than this Pokémon appeared,white as the driven snow! Glastrier’d been sleeping inside! When it popped its long face out, the fright nearly froze my heart!”
The mountain in question isGlaseado Mountain, and the “ruins” are theremains of a house on the hillside east of Glaseado Gym. Glastrier doesn’t spawn in the ruins itself, but it’ll appear on the nearby hills by a tree.
Refer to theorange objective flag in the above image for the exact location.
