[SET COMMENTS]
With a physically defensive spread, Gliscor becomes a solid check to powerful physical attackers like Ceruledge, Bisharp, and Roaring Moon,which can otherwise prove annoying for Flying teams. Earthquake hits the aforementioned Ceruledge along with targets like Sandy Shocks and Excadrill. Stealth Rock helps wear down opposing Flying-types like Assault Vest Tornadus-T, Choice Band Dragonite, and Choice Scarf Enamorus. Knock Off can remove crucial held items such as Archaludon's Leftovers and Blissey's Heavy-Duty Boots along with giving Gliscor a tool to make progress against Corviknight and Skarmory. Toxic meanwhile puts targets like Ting-Lu, Volcarona, and Dragonite on a timer. The used EV spread maximizes Gliscor's bulk while enabling it to outspeed maximum Speed Adamant Scizor.
Gliscor greatly appreciates specially defensive Corviknight and Articuno as teammates that can take on special attackers such as Terapagos, Greninja, and Latios. Corviknight can further support Gliscor with Defog, U-turn to pivot it in safely, and Iron Head to check Fairy- and Ice-types like Flutter Mane, Hatterene, and opposing Articuno. Articuno meanwhile can use Freeze-Dry to deal with pesky Water- and Dragon-types like Primarina, Walking Wake, and Kyurem. Skarmory can help against physical attackers that Gliscor cannot handle like Mamoswine, Weavile, and Hisuian Samurott while appreciating Gliscor checking Fire-types like Cinderace and Ceruledge. Moltres can also help out against Ice-types, spread burn with Will-O-Wisp, and check threats like Mamoswine and Meowscarada with Flamethrower. The Landorus formes deal with fast Electric- and Steel-types that can overwhelm Gliscor like Raging Bolt, Archaludon, and Gholdengo. Assault Vest Tornadus-T can support Gliscor by outspeeding and removing key targets such as the Ogerpon formes, Latios, and Iron Valiant, along with being able to remove Heavy-Duty Boots with Knock Off. Zapdos can help out against Water-types and opposing Flying-types like Urshifu-R, Pelipper, and Tornadus-T. Dragonite appreciates Gliscor wearing down targets like Enamorus and Archaludon, and in return Dragonite can handle foes like Raging Bolt and Barraskewda. Choice Scarf Enamorus can help with Dark- and Dragon-types like non-Choice Scarf Darkrai, Hydreigon, and Latios, which could otherwise break through Gliscor.

Other Options
=============
Flying
-----------
U-turn can be run over Knock Off or Toxic, as while it majorly decreases Gliscor's pressure, it can enable Gliscor to safely pivot in teammates like the Landorus formes and Tornadus-T while popping Air Balloon on the likes of Glimmora, Heatran, and Gholdengo in the process.
