Gliscor has found itself being one of Ground's strongest versatile defensive Pokemon with a variety of different usage. Utilizing Toxic, Gliscor is able to easily spread status to the likes of Ground's Water- type threats upon switch-in behind a Substitute such as Ogerpon Wellspring or Greninja, while also being able to freely spread status to other powerful setup sweepers such as Zamazenta. Protect further exacerbates how potent Gliscor's Toxic is, as it allows you to stall more turns behind Substitute. Earthquake being the STAB of choice, Gliscor can make use of this to deal damage to the likes of Pokemon that can avoid Gliscor's Toxic such as Goodra Hisui and Heatran once its Air Balloon is gone. With 136 Speed EVs, Gliscor is able to outspeed Adamant Mamoswine .

Ting Lu is an excellent counterpart that can complement Gliscor by setting up hazards. Iron Treads helps versus the Fairy match up while being able to handle the likes of Latios. Great Tusk with a Choice Scarf makes for great Speed control that assists Gliscor even more. Clodsire makes great use of its role compression via its ability Water Absorb and with its access to a wide array of utility moves in Toxic and Haze, spreading even more status alongside Gliscor and stopping setup sweepers such as Volcarona and Calm Mind Primarina in their tracks. Mamoswine deals with Flying- and Steel-type Pokemon that can easily ignore Gliscor such as Corviknight and Skarmory. Landorus with the use of Gravity, can assist Gliscor in being able to freely use Earthquake to break through the aforementioned Corviknight and Skarmory. Additionally, with access to a wide array of coverage moves, Landorus is able to break through Fairy- and Ice-type threats such as Primarina and Kyurem with Sludge Wave and Focus Blast respectively.

Gliscor has found itself being one of Ground's strongest versatile defensive Pokemon underdogs not reallyl an underdog, you use it on balance ground 10/10x, definitely an underdog on sand i guess but its not really used there anyway with a variety of different usage. One in which would be a specially defensive spread that can make use of its Poison Heal ability even better. With the use of Substitute in conjunction of Protect and the use of 128 SpD EV's, Gliscor can become a secondary bulky status spreader. this is something you would kind of put in an overview / you mention ev spreads at the end usually Utilizing Toxic, Gliscor is able to easily spread status to the likes of Ground's Water- type threats upon switch-in behind a Substitute such as Ogerpon Wellspring or Greninja, while also being able to freely spread status to other powerful setup sweepers such as Zamazenta. Protect further exacerbates how potent Gliscor's Toxic is, as it allows you to stall more turns behind Substitute. Earthquake being the STAB of choice, Gliscor can make use of this to deal damage to the likes of Pokemon that can avoid Gliscor's Toxic such as Fire- and Steel- type Pokemon such as Ceruledge, Goodra Hisui, and Heatran once its Air Balloon is gone. mention the speed tier here, specifically noting that it speedcreeps adamant mamoswine

Hippowdon is an excellent defensive teammate that, paired with Gliscor, not only can set Sand but can also setup hazards which can rack up quite the chip damage over time when paired with Toxic. Both pairing with Toxic can wear down opponents much easier and faster over time. Excadrill is an offensive pair that can make use of its powerful Attack, and a Choice Band, to become a Sand sweeper down the line once Gliscor wears the opponent down with Toxic. Clodsire makes great use of its role compression via its ability Water Absorb and with its access to a wide array of utility moves in Toxic and Haze. ability Water Absorb to become a Water- type immunity for Gliscor, it also can setup hazards along with Status as well. Mamoswine deals with Flying- and Steel-type Pokemon that can easily ignore Gliscor such as Corviknight and Skarmory. pesky Flying- type Pokemon with its powerful Ice STAB, breaking through the Steel- birds with Icicle Crash to better assist Gliscor so it can spread Status. Landorus with the use of Gravity, can assist Gliscor in being able to freely use Earthquake to break through the aforementioned Corviknight and Skarmory, while giving it free reign to click Earthquake. Flying as well, while also being a great Special Attacking teammate for Gliscor.

mention ting lu (hazards), treads (help vs fairies and special attackers like latios), great tusk for speed control (scarf), and ideally remove the excadrill mention because youre not really using gliscor on sand its just way too hard to fit and sand mainly builds around excadrill and gravity, using gliscor on top of it all makes it quite hard, gliscor imo needs a more specialized team for it.
ill check back after this is implemented! be sure to try and make things more concise to avoid making things a bit too wordy at times

With 136 Spe, Gliscor is able to speed creep Adamant Mamoswine to potentially throw off Status or a Substitute depending on what move is scouted with the likes of Protect.

Ting Lu is an excellent Specially Defensive counterpart that can compliment Gliscor by setting up hazards. Iron Treads alternatively to Excadrill, helps versus the Fairy match up while being able to handle the likes of Latios.

Mamoswine deals with Flying- and Steel-type Pokemon that can easily ignore Gliscor such as Corviknight and Skarmory just a note, mamoswine doesnt really deal with them but ill let qc2 handle this so if you can find time to put in other examples over the steel birds that would be ideal, especially since you put gravity in the next sentence and realistically thats the only way ground deals with these mons outside of sandy shocks which isnt used rly. Landorus with the use of Gravity, can assist Gliscor in being able to freely use Earthquake to break through the aforementioned Corviknight and Skarmory, while giving it free reign to click Earthquake.

Gliscor has found itself being one of Ground's strongest (? Its not the strongest, its not even "in" in the sense that sandless is quite niche rn. Its kinda versatile Ig. However, we dont really talk about the other sets here unless you want to compare this to SD or non Sub, so it would be nice to change sentence 1) versatile defensive Pokemon with a variety of different usage. Utilizing Toxic, Gliscor is able to easily spread status to the likes of Ground's Water- type threats upon switch-in behind a Substitute such as Ogerpon Wellspring or Greninja, while also being able to freely spread status to other powerful setup sweepers such as Zamazenta (well no, it subs on you and IDs and makes you miserable. Maybe a better way to bring across this set is by answering these questions: 1. What does it set Sub on? 2. If it sets the sub, what is the main response after this? This is actually the Utilizing Toxic line, but you have to edit so that its not overly focused on it). Protect further exacerbates how potent Gliscor's Toxic is, as it allows you to stall more turns behind Substitute. Earthquake being the STAB of choice, Gliscor can make use of this to deals damage to the likes of Pokemon (Steels?) that can avoid are immune Gliscor's Toxic such as Goodra Hisui and Heatran once its Air Balloon is gone. With 136 Speed EVs, Gliscor is able to outspeed Adamant Mamoswine .

Ting Lu is an excellent counterpart that can complement Gliscor by setting up hazards. Iron Treads helps versus the Fairy match up while being able to handle the likes of Latios. Great Tusk with a Choice Scarf makes for great Speed control that assists Gliscor even more (how? Does it kill Kyurem/ Gren?). Clodsire makes great use of its role compression via its ability Water Absorb and with its access to a wide array of utility moves in Toxic and Haze, spreading even more status alongside Gliscor and stopping setup sweepers such as Volcarona and Calm Mind Primarina in their tracks (checking Pon-W too). Mamoswine deals with Flying- and Steel-type Pokemon that can easily ignore Gliscor such as Corviknight and Skarmory (It cant handle these with ease, maybe just breaking the Gliscor mirror or murdering Meow is great tho). Landorus with the use of Gravity, can assist Gliscor in being able to freely use Earthquake to break through the aforementioned Corviknight and Skarmory (if you set gravity Gliscor shouldnt be hogging turns it should be lando). Additionally, with access to a wide array of coverage moves, Landorus is able to break through Fairy- and Ice-type threats such as Primarina and Kyurem with Sludge Wave and Focus Blast respectively.
I think some mons like Garchump and Sandy Shocks are missing
