Glare (Japanese: へびにらみ Snake Glare) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation II, it was the signature move of Ekans and Arbok.

Effect

Generation I

Glare paralyzes the target. It has an accuracy of 75%. It can hit Ghost-type Pokémon.

Generation II

Glare now does not affect Ghost-type Pokémon, unless the Ghost-type Pokémon is affected by Foresight or Odor Sleuth.

In the Generation II core series games, when an in-game opponent outside of the Battle Tower uses Glare, the move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.

Generation III

Glare can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if Leer was used in the previous turn.

Generation IV

Glare can now hit Ghost-type Pokémon.

Generation V

The accuracy of Glare is increased from 75% to 90%.

Generation VI onwards

Glare's accuracy changed from 90% to 100%. It no longer affects Electric-types due to them now being immune to paralysis.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Glare, the user's Special Defense rises one stage.

Glare can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing Hex and Smelling Salts to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

Trivia

• Drampa, Druddigon, and Helioptile can learn this move, which is known as へびにらみ Hebinirami (Snake Glare) in Japanese, despite not being based on any particular snake. This may be because Western dragons and snakes, particularly the basilisk, are both sometimes depicted as being capable of influencing their victims with eye contact, either by using some magical ability to immobilize those that look into their eyes or simply paralyzing them with fear.
• The descriptions of the move in FireRed and LeafGreen and Generation IV onwards state that "The user intimidates the target with the pattern on its belly", a description that seems to be intended specifically for Arbok. The anime, manga, and Pokémon Stadium series portray Glare as a literal glare at the opponent instead.
