So far, im still not sure what i want to decide. Im not sure
is banworthy as is, just the presence of dengo gives the illusion of it being broken.
Thats besides the topic, we have a mon that has an irremovable double leftovers, sets spikes very very reliably (nothing stops it from getting a layer except
if the gliscor user positioned and played aggresively enough.), and has great bulk in addition to a variety of support options. Not just that, it has serviceable attacking stats and a fast speed tier as a defensive mon.
Losing roost and defog this gen were still notable nerfs, but its support options remain pretty wide:
- Spikes / Toxic Spikes
- Knock off
- Toxic
- Stealth rock
- Taunt
- U-turn
- Swords Dance
If youre into the offensive sets, this mon got buffs as well. Notably:
- Dual wingbeat (
getting trolled hard here)
- Crabhammer
- High Horsepower
- Tera Blast
- Psychic Fangs
- etc.
Tera has also boosted this mon's survivability in addition to its offensive prowess if one so desires (another one, shocker. How many have we had this gen?). With options such as Fairy, Dragon, Water, Steel for utility sets, and Normal, Ground, Flying, Water, etc. For offensive sets.
Gliscor also got another indirect buff with the removal of hidden power, allowing it to take on mons it wouldnt otherwise be standing in front of if it were SMOU, allowing it to set up spikes on so much more things.
Ill go into depth of what i'll learn from using/facing gliscor after i attempt to complete my suspect run (and hopefully not fail miserably like when i did
's supect). But for now, im leaning to
DNB. Because just like moon, i feel like this mon is overperforming due to the metagame conditions in addition to already being excellent on many teams. The mon itself isnt broken by any means, the meta shaping around it is. But hey, you never know until you try it. So ill make a more concrete post later on (probably).
