Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 244 HP / 36 Def / 228 SpD
Careful Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Facade
- Protect
Gliscor can become a potent wincon thanks to the combination of good bulk, Poison Heal increasing its longevity and ensuring it can't be burned, and Swords Dance. +2 Earthquake can OHKO many OU staples, such as Kingambit, Galarian Slowking, and Raging Bolt, and 2HKO Garganacl. Poison Heal means that Facade is always boosted, letting it deal decent damage to Ground-immune foes like Dragonite, Enamorus, and opposing Gliscor. Protect lets Gliscor get extra healing from Poison Heal, further augmenting its longevity. Tera Normal boosts Facade's power, letting Gliscor OHKO threats like Roaring Moon and Ogerpon-W after a Swords Dance while also removing its weaknesses to Water and Ice. 244 HP EVs maximize the HP healed from Poison Heal, while 36 Defense EVs let Gliscor survive Ogerpon-W's unboosted Ivy Cudgel, and the Special Defense EVs allow it to more easily check the likes of Gholdengo and Iron Crown. Without Knock Off, Gliscor is completely walled by Air Balloon Gholdengo, so it needs teammates like Zamazenta and Dragonite that can help remove it. Gliscor is also easily threatened by Ice- and Water-types like Kyurem and Walking Wake, so it benefits from bulky teammates like Galarian Slowking and Blissey that can check them.
