I did not find a set for Glaceon. However, if there is one just close this one.
Well with the Winter Season here and Christmas coming up tomorrow for many of us, this just seemed right.
Beginning Thoughts: Glaceon is the Ice type eeveelution of gen 4. There wasnt very much to it. it's got great power and under hail it's an absolute beast. It's tied for the most powerful Blizzard under hail. (Kyurem) It's fairly bulky in stats. It also has abilities that let it abuse hail much more easily than Kyurem. Out of hail however, there was really nothing to it. It has really bad defensive typing which doesnt help considering it's fair bulk. It also has bad offensive typing which it's bad considering the pure power 130 SpA Blizzard has. It has a terrible movepool so it can't do very much outside of hail period. Will it be able to redeem itself in the new metagame?
Typing: Ice
Typing: Ice
Base Stats: HP 65 / Atk 60 / Def 110 / SpA 130 / SpD 95 / Spd 65
Ability: Snow Cloak: Increases evasion by 1 stage in Hail.
Along with it's brother, Sand Veil, this is often reguarded as a broken ability under evasion clause. The most major problem is that Glaceon just can't abuse this ability. Without a viable recovery and no ways to really set up Snow Cloak is just there. It's a handy ability but Glaceon can really do better.

Dream World Ability: Ice Body: Recovers HP under hail.
I feel this ability deserves mixed reactions. The positives are very well positive. It's bad HP in conjunction with it's fair bulk is a problem and Ice Body really solves that problem. However, both Walrein and Regice do this better with better typing (Walrein), a much better movepool, and bulk. That's not to say this ability isn't great on Glaceon, it's just outclassed.

Notable Incompatable Moves with Ice Body
Wish: Wish, being an Egg move cannot be used with Ice Body. This is because the only glaceon in Dream World are the event males. Males cannot breed dream world abilities onto their offspring.
Baton Pass: Baton Pass is a move it learns as Eevee. Glaceon is only available as itself in a Dream World event. It cannot learn it's Pre-Evolution's moves.

Notable New TM Moves
Tm 79 Ice Breath: When this move hit's the target, it will always result in a critical hit. Special Ice / BP 40 / Acc 90
Tm 79 Ice Breath: When this move hit's the target, it will always result in a critical hit. Special Ice / BP 40 / Acc 90
Info: It's a fair option for Glaceon. Sense it's always a crit that means it can break through CM sweepers much more handily. Other than that there's not much to it.
Egg Move Data
Charm, Flail, Endure, Curse, Tickle, Wish, Yawn, Fake Tears, Covet, Detect, Natual Gift, Assist Power, Syncronize
Move Sets
Oh crap I cant feel my toes
Glaceon @ Choice Specs / Choice Scarf
Ability: Snow Cloak
Nature: Modest
Evs: 252 SpA, 252 Hp, 4 Spd
~ Blizzard
~ Hidden Power
~ Baton Pass
~ Ice Breath
Info: There's nothing terribly wrong with this set. Glaceon is tied for the Highest SpA among Ice types with Kyurem. It seems only fair that it gets its own Specs set. Blizzard is for stab and Hidden Power is for coverage. Baton Pass is to scout for counters. The most major addition to this moveset is Ice Breath. While it pails in comparision to Ice Beam it does have the benifit of breaking through CM sweepers which is a bonus over Ice Beam.

Glaceon @ Leftovers
Ability: Ice Body
Nature: Calm
Evs: 252 HP, 252 SpD , 4 SpA
~ Blizzard
~ Toxic
~ Substitute
~ Protect
Info: The title Says it all. This set does what Walrein does but with worse typing and greater Power. The set up here is simple. Stall out your opponent with Toxic and Substitute. However this set also has some power with Blizzard. It's gonna hurt anything nutreal. Unlike Walrein however this set on Glaceon has real problems with Steel types.

Wait Glaceon can set up?! Has hell frozen over!?
Glaceon @ Life Orb
Ability: Snow Cloak
Nature: Quiet
Evs: 252 SpA, 252 Spd, 4 Atk
Info: I'll admit it. This was a randum whim to check out Cheer up. However, +1 Blizzard could be a true beast. Cheer Up can also increase your Atk which makes Ice Shard a viable option. While Water Pulse has abysmal BP, it can be powered up with Cheer up which also makes it viable. Glaceon @ Life Orb

Final Thoughts
Glaceon hasn't gotten very much in the tansition from 4th to 5th gen. It got Ice body, which some pokes do better, Ice Breath which can substitute for Blizzard as a just in case and Cheer up which I'm unsure it can really abuse. Glaceon hasnt been nerfed persay. It was given the tools it needed to mabye jump up to uu. That said it's still not very good. It's ok and that's ok.
