Porygon2 shits on Gliscor like it's its job. It traces Poison Heal so Flinging your Toxic Orb means it gains even more durability, and then it takes you out with Ice Beam. Seriously, if you have problems with Gliscor, throw a Porygon2 on your team.how do i counter a poisen heal gliscor? i've been having some trouble against them.
lol...that would be pretty funnyThe worst Gliscors are always the ones with Lefties so you think "lol, I'll just toxic you" and then they've got Poison Heal anyway so they're recovering 18.5% now. That was awful, thankfully that strategy doesn't work often so people don't try it.
Yeah, that's the kind of strategy that makes your opponent want to hang himself 5% of the time, but makes you facepalm the other 95% because you basically halved your recovery while denying yourself access to Roost and status immunity.The worst Gliscors are always the ones with Lefties so you think "lol, I'll just toxic you" and then they've got Poison Heal anyway so they're recovering 18.5% now.

Anything fast or bulky with a ice attackhow do i counter a poisen heal gliscor? i've been having some trouble against them.
I loathe the lack of Acrobatics, though. Stealing some leftovers would be nice, but I'd rather stick to Acro.I just watched a battle on YouTube. This poke was in it:
Gliscor@Toxic Orb
Poison Heal
-Fling
-Thief
-Earthquake
-Protect
This might look like a gimmick, but it is actually very good. Having Leftover+Poison Heal+Protect means lots and lots of recovery

Not really. I posted the idea in the analysis thread months ago. It got shot down.Credit to The Flaming Spade for coming up with the moveset.
Actually, couldn't you achieve the same thing with Trick, leaving up a spot for Acrobatics?I just watched a battle on YouTube. This poke was in it:

Even if Gliscor did learn Trick, it wouldn't go very well with Acrobatics.Actually, couldn't you achieve the same thing with Trick, leaving up a spot for Acrobatics?
Unless of course Gliscor doesn't learn Trick.
Despite being a gimmick it has actually worked pretty well as a support for my team. Now I've been running Taunt instead of Protect so that it won't turn into a complete set up bait. Getting ridd of leftovers from opposing walls is always helpful and Poison heal and lefties is just win. Also stealing choice items cripples some opposing sweepers that rely on that extra speed/attack/sp. atk, like specs Latios that's really common and lieks to switch into EQs.Credit to The Flaming Spade for coming up with the moveset.
