Pokémon of the Month: Daily Article Series
Glaceon Edition​

At the start of Daily's launch, we had tried out a series of articles involving Eevee. Articles included nickname suggestions for Eevee (and ratings too), how you should care for Eevee, why you should never really battle with it, and fanworks by our talented creators.

We're rebooting that idea, and aiming for new articles involving a Pokémon - and evolutions of it if they exist - roughly every month.

We had Dunsparce and Dudunsparce for the reboot, and while we start pushing out its articles, we'll move onto the next target. Despite a late comeback for the Torchic line, we ended up with Glaceon! If you have any ideas for articles, no matter how short or silly or in-depth or serious they may be, on whatever aspect be it creative or video game focused (e.g. battling), pitch them here! We'll also coordinate separate threads to collate fanworks and nickname suggestions. Eevee is not exactly allowed as it was already featured... but hey, I won't say no to a good idea for an article about it either! Ideally all articles will aim to be wrapped up within a month from now, but if things take a bit longer, so be it.

VPP bonus! If you write or co-write an article, or contribute something substantial such as a fanwork, battling analysis, etc. to be featured in an article for Glaceon, you will be able to claim a free Eevee from VPP this month! To claim it, post in the "Obtain your Pokemon" thread in the VPP subforum and link the article you contributed to.

So, one idea was about the evolution path it's had, with the Icy Stone (and I guess it applies to the Mossy stone too), rather than just making an Ice Stone and using the existing Leaf one. Only for them to eventually make an Ice Stone in recent gens. Might be worth a short recap and speculation into that.

Idea #1: Probably a pretty basic idea, but how about an informative article of (major) appearances of Glaceon in the games and/or Anime? (or both)
For example May's Glaceon in the Anime. Cynthia used a Glaceon there too apparently, though idk how often.
In the games Candice uses a Glaceon in her rematch and she also has it in the Pokémon World Tournament. Irida also has a Glaceon by her side in Legends Arceus.

Idea #2: In it's PokeDex entries it's mentioned that it's a popular Pokémon at ski resorts. Could go for an article on what sorts of practical uses Glaceon would be good for aside from that, potentially including what it does at an ski resort as well (based on the dex entry it's probably just popular there to keep fresh snow on the ground for skiing).
Example ideas for additional practical Glaceon uses:
-Making shaved Ice at an ice cream parlor.
-Making Ice cubes for use in drinks for restaurants and bars.
-Potential use in keeping perishable goods from spoiling, be it in a freezer at say a restaurant or during transport.
-Potential uses as an air-conditioner, as it's dex entries state that it can control it's body temperature at will.
-Keeping the ice in good condition at an ice rink.

Idea #3: In the Alola games in it's postgame, there is a completely optional group of trainers that can be fought (and I personally did not know existed until like 1-2 years ago due to just never returning to the place you start this side quest of at). This group consists of 9 trainers and each uses one of the eeveelutions including Eevee.
Could make an article either for each one individually (for Glaceon that would be Glaceon User Rea) or just group them all together.
Mainly bringing them up as they are pretty easy to miss and Glaceon is amongst them.

Idea #4: Lots of people are unhappy with it's shiny. Could either search for fanmade recolorings of the shiny or hold a contest in the art section and rank the submissions.

Silly article idea: Is Glaceon wearing a wig?
