It is time to head to Glaseado Mountain, but before then, there is the path from Medali leading to Dalizapa Passage, and there are a bunch of Trainers to battle against, and some of them are higher level than the Gym Leader of Medali, we will need all we can to prepare if we were to climb Glaseado Mountain.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

Before starting this video, there was an Espeon outbreak at West Province Area Three, and I used it to level up my Pokémon, usually my Bug and Dark-type Pokémon to take out the Espeon using the Let's Go feature while the rest of my team were Pokémon I wanted to work on the evolutions for.
I test out Meowscarada in battle, and while it does get Flower Trick, it isn't until Level 38 that it learns Night Slash for its first main Dark-type move. All three of the starters learn a move exclusive to the Move Relearner, Meowscarada can get Double Team and Trick, Skeledirge learns Sing, and Quaquaval learns Counter. For their first move of their secondary types, Skeledirge can learn Shadow Ball at Level 38, while Quaquaval would already have Low Sweep, which it would learn as a Quaxwell at Level 19, and it has to wait till Level 58 to get Close Combat.
Going over West Province Area Three, there is a Breloom with the Rock Tera Type, which does come with Spore, so if you want a Breloom with Spore, here it is, the Rock Tera Type is very useful against the Normal-type Gym.
I do find some new encounters around West Province Area Three, as well as Dalizapa Passage, first up is Cetoddle, an Ice-type Pokémon with a good HP stat, and it evolves with an Ice Stone. Cetoddle can learn Icicle Crash as an Egg Move, Cloyster and Beartic can pass on that move. When it is evolved, it has the 4th highest HP stat in the game, well 3rd out of the currently available Pokémon, it's a great option to pick up as you can find an Ice Stone at Dalizapa Passage to evolve it with.
Dalizapa Passage has a bunch of Pokémon found there, outside the area, you can find some evolved Pokémon, like Gogoat, Pyroar, Altaria, Lycanroc, Gallade, Sawsbuck, Ursaring, and many others, and you can encounter Scovillain, the evolved form of Capsakid, and the first ever Grass/Fire-type Pokémon in the series, Scovillain's signature move is Spicy Extract, this boosts the target's Attack and lowers their Defense, not the best move to have.
In the caves, you can find Snorunt, its regular evolved form Glalie isn't worth using, it has 80 in all of its stats, while female Snorunt evolve into Froslass with a Dawn Stone, and Froslass has good Speed, so it's not a bad Pokémon to pick up, it gets access to some nice status moves like Will-O-Wisp, Confuse Ray, and Destiny Bond, and it has decent stats to make use of them.
Next up is Sneasel, which evolves when equipped with a Razor Claw at night, the Razor Claw is obtained from Delibird Presents in Mesagoza, and you will want to evolve it right away. It has high Speed and Attack, but it isn't until Level 60 that it gets Night Slash, it can get Bite and Icicle Crash as Egg Moves if you are interested, but it is a great option to use.
Then we have the new Pseudo Legendary Pokémon for this generation, that Pokémon is called Frigibax, it is a Dragon/Ice-type Pokémon. While it is a rare encounter, there are static spawns for Frigibax in parts of Glaseado Mountain, so you can use them if you want to pick one up, and if you find any at Level 35 or higher, you can level it up once to evolve it into Arctibax. Its final evolution isn't until Level 54, but you can hold off Arctibax's evolution for one level to get Icicle Crash, its final evolution doesn't get it till Level 62. When fully evolved, it has a massive Attack stat and very good stats all-around, its Ability is Thermal Exchange, when it is hit by a Fire-type move, its Attack is boosted and it cannot be burned, while it is a long road for Frigibax, it is worth it once you get it to its final evolution.
Throughout Glaseado Mountain, you can find snow coming down, and that is a new weather effect, replacing Hail, because there is a new move called Snowscape which summons snow, this boosts the Defense of Ice-type Pokémon by 50%, but it does keep the same effects as Hail, where Blizzard has 100% accuracy, and Aurora Veil can be used when snow is in effect, that is a good improvement for Ice-type Pokémon in this generation. They also introduced a new move called Chilly Reception which summons snow, and the Pokémon switches out, and the only Pokémon that can learn that move is Slowking, I am sure there are a lot of snow teams that use Slowking to set it up.
