Glimmet
Say it: GLI-mme-t
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Glimmet is the Ore Pokémon — Rock and Poison before Glimmora. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Glimmora — not a finished raid attacker. Rock/Poison hits Fire, Ice, Flying, Bug, and Fairy well; Ground hits it for 4×, and Water, Steel, and Psychic punish it. Catch Glimmet from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.
