-Agility is often on of Gligar's most overlooked moves; most Pokemon are able to stop Gligar thanks to Speed ties, Choice Scarf or lowering Gligar's Speed, but Agility gives Gligar an edge
-After a Swords Dance and an Agility, Gligar hits 36 Attack and 32 Speed
-Oran Berry allows Gligar the chance to set up twice while also activating the Acrobatics boost
-Bring this in on something Gligar forces out or something that can't really harm Gligar and proceed to boost
-Acrobatics and Earthquake is only resisted by Archen and Bronzor iirc
-Baton Pass can pass the boosts to something like Scraggy or Mienfoo, but note you lose a lot of coverage and this set isn't a designated Baton Pass set like the one onsite
[Additional Comments]
-Can run 18 Speed if worried about Drilbur
-Yache and Passho berries might be fun to toy around with
-Flight Gem still an option, but makes it harder to set up
-Magnemite (and Nosepass I guess) is helpful for removing Bronzor
-Wynaut can help Gligar set up
-Sand Veil is an option on Sand teams
-Watch out for Ice Shard and Aqua Jet users, since they can hit past Agility
-Works well with Scraggy and Bronzor, but most Gligar do so that's nothing new
-Appreciates hazards, screens, rapid spin, etc.
-Counters: Ice Shard, Bronzor, Ferroseed and Lileep kinda, anything with a decent special attack and HP Ice
thoughts?
