Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 244 HP / 12 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Toxic
- Substitute
- Protect
- Knock Off
Gliscor shows its kindness by sharing its poison with everyone! Instead of laying down entry hazards or setting up with Swords Dance, Gliscor can run a more specific set that further takes advantage of its Toxic. By leveraging Substitute + Protect and Poison Heal, it can repeatedly one-on-one the majority of the tier; slower threats like Great Tusk, Hisuian Samurott, and Modest Kyurem become easy victims, but so do faster ones that can't harm it, like Cinderace and non-Ice Fang Zamazenta. Knock Off allows it to force progress regardless, particularly against Toxic-immune targets like Hatterene, Garganacl, and Galarian Weezing. On top of boosting Knock Off, Tera Dark lets it take on Hex and Psychic Noise users like Dragapult, Galarian Slowking, and Hoopa-U looking to exploit or shut down its Poison Heal, especially as the latter can do so behind its Substitute. Gliscor is always an important piece on slower-paced teams, with this variant seeing use on stall. Usual teammates like Dondozo and Clodsire help check foes like Kingambit, Gholdengo, and Iron Moth that can use Gliscor as setup fodder, with Clodsire also providing entry hazards that Gliscor lacks and synergizing well with its Knock Off.
