Trivia

Glaciate has the lowest specified base power of all Legendary Pokémon's signature moves.
If a Kyurem that knows Glaciate fuses with either Reshiram or Zekrom via the DNA Splicers, the move will be replaced by Ice Burn or Freeze Shock, respectively.
- When the two Pokémon are separated, Ice Burn and Freeze Shock both revert into Glaciate.
