[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to its excellent natural bulk, its phenomenal typing, and the extremely frustrating ability Poison Heal, Gliscor is a nigh-unkillable staple on Flying teams. Substitute, when paired with Toxic, allows Gliscor to simply alternate between Substitute and Protect while the foe's health slowly diminishes. This lets it win one-on-one against most of the Pokemon in the tier; even if the foe would normally outspeed and 2HKO Gliscor, it can still win by landing Toxic on the foe's predicted switch in. Earthquake hits Pokemon immune to being poisoned, such as Clodsire, Sneasler, and Archaludon. 136 Speed EVs allow Gliscor to outspeed Adamant Dragonite, while 56 Speed EVs let Gliscor to outspeed Adamant Bisharp and Modest Volcanion. 36 Defense EVs allows Gliscor to survive Ogerpon-H's Swords Dance-boosted Ivy Cudgel from full health.

Substitute + Toxic Gliscor is glaringly useless against airborne Pokemon immune to poison, such as Air Balloon Gholdengo and Iron Treads as well as Skarmory and opposing Gliscor. Tornadus-T is an excellent teammate, as it can outspeed and pop the Air Balloons of Gholdengo and Iron Treads while threatening Skarmory with Heat Wave. Tornadus is also capable of outspeeding Urshifu-R and OHKOing it with Bleakwind Storm, removing a huge nuisance for Gliscor. Articuno can reliably switch in on special Water- and Ice-type attacks directed at Gliscor, such as Hydro Pump and Ice Beam from Greninja. Articuno is also capable of threatening opposing Gliscor with Freeze-Dry, as well as hitting Kingdra and Primarina. Moltres can switch in on physical Ice-type attacks from Pokemon such as Triple Axel Meowscarada and threaten them with a burn via Flame Body. Additionally, Moltres with Scorching Sands can greatly aid Gliscor in the Steel matchup, where Toxic is completely useless. Skarmory can switch in on physical Water-type attacks coming Gliscor's way, such as Liquidation from Barraskewda; it also punishes foes that make contact via Rocky Helmet. Landorus has a wide array of moves to help deal with Pokemon unbothered by Toxic and Earthquake, such as Focus Blast for Steel-types, Psychic for Air Balloon Sneasler and Galarian Weezing, and Sludge Wave for Hatterene. Its Choice Scarf sets are also capable of outspeeding and OHKOing Urshifu-R and Iron Valiant. Corviknight can use Defog to remove Stealth Rock; this lets Gliscor gain more HP from Poison Heal when it switches in, courtesy of Corviknight's slow U-turn. Additionally, specially defensive variants of Corviknight can serve as a nice Ice-neutral and Fairy-resistant Pokemon against foes such as Kyurem and Flutter Mane. Dragonite thrives when paired with Gliscor's unmatched ability to wear down opposing threats, which grants Dragonite the ability to spend more turns using attacking moves and fewer turns using Dragon Dance. Additionally, Dragonite's Water resistance allows it to switch in on Barraskewda and Keldeo. Finally, Choice Band sets can skip using Dragon Dance and get right to cleaning.

Thanks to it's excellent natural bulk, phenomenal typing, and the extremely frustrating ability Poison Heal, Gliscor is a nigh unkillable staple on Flying-teams. Substitute, when paired with Toxic, allows Gliscor to simply alternate between Substitute and Protect while the opponents health slowly diminishes, winning a 1v1 situation against most of the Pokemon in the tier. Earthquake is a reliable STAB option for hitting Pokemon immune to being Poisoned, such as Clodsire, Sneasler, and Archaludon. 136 Speed EVs allows Gliscor to outspeed Adamant Dragonite, while 56 Speed EVs allows Gliscor to outspeed Adamant Bisharp and Modest Volcanion. (With how our bulk changes, there is likely some relevant numbers we're hitting probably, I know with 32 Def we live a +2 Oger-H Ivy Cudgel from full.)

Substitute Toxic Gliscor is glaringly useless against airborne Pokemon immune to Poison, such as Air Ballooon Gholdengo, Iron Treads, Skarmory, and opposing Gliscor. Tornadus-T is an excellent teammate, as it can outspeed and pop the balloons of Gholdengo and Iron Treads, while threatening Skarmory with Heat Wave. Tornadus can also use Knock Off to remove items from defensive Pokemon that like to switch in on Gliscor, such as recovery items from Skarmory and Galarian Weezing. Articuno is an excellent teammate for Gliscor as it can reliably switch in on special Water- and Ice-type attacks directed at Gliscor, such as Hydro Pump and Ice Beam from Greninja. Articuno is also capable of threatening opposing Gliscor with Freeze-Dry Anything else we wanna slam with Freeze Dry?. Moltres and Skarmory can both switch in on Physical Water- and Ice-type attacks coming Gliscor's way, such as Liquidation from Barraskewda and Triple Axel from Meowscarada (They both switch it on physical ice moves, yes, but Moltres is not taking on Barraskewda as if Flamebody doesn't pop, thats a dead moltres with nothing to show for it). These Pokemon also both have ways of punishing foes who make contact, Moltres with Flame Body and Skarmory with Rocky Helmet, both of which give Gliscor an easier time picking off weakened foes. Landorus has a wide array of moves to help deal with Pokemon unbothered by Toxic and Earthquake, such as Focus Blast for Steel-types, Psychic for Air Balloon Sneasler and Galarian Weezing, and Sludge Wave for Hatterene. Are we able to get some more teammates, I would at least have Corviknight and probably DNite.

Also mention how DNite comes in on Water-types like Barraskewda and Keldeo for Gliscor.

Tornadus can also use Knock Off to remove items from defensive Pokemon that like to switch in on Gliscor, such as recovery items from Skarmory and Galarian Weezing. (these two examples dont help much, you [Gliscor] still do zero regardless. You can cut Knock imo, mention outspeeding and murdering Urshifu instead imo). Articuno is an excellent teammate for Gliscor as it can reliably switch in on special Water- and Ice-type attacks directed at Gliscor, such as Hydro Pump and Ice Beam from Greninja. Articuno is also capable of threatening opposing Gliscor with Freeze-Dry, as well as hitting Gastrodon (dont use gastro, Gliscor wins 1v1 when it swaps into you iirc) and Primarina. Moltres and Skarmory can both switch in on Physical Water- and Ice-type attacks coming Gliscor's way, such as Triple Axel from Meowscarada and Liquidation from Barraskewda respectively (should be flipped, its reading as if Molt is to water moves rn. Can separate to two sentences since spikes + gliscor toxic is awful while Molt with Scorch Flame bodies Steel teams for scor). These Pokemon also both have ways of punishing foes who make contact, Moltres with Flame Body and Skarmory with Rocky Helmet, both of which give Gliscor an easier time picking off weakened foes.

sorry for the delay, I implemented everything but just wanted to clarify this sunny

if the foe outspeeds and 2hkos gliscor even with 2 ticks of poison heal, it needs to use toxic on a switch. pretend the opponent is a banded dragonite with dragon ascent for example

if the foe does not outspeed and cannot ohko (and cant hit through sub or has a multihit move or whatever else) gliscor can just win straight up 1v1. pretend the opponent is a dondozo (without rest for whatever reason)

Ok so I think we need to capture this bolded nuance in that sentence, b/c right now that is not very apparent + it makes the sentence a bit confusing otherwise. Perhaps something like:
This lets it win one-on-one against most of the Pokemon in the tier; even if the foe would normally outspeed and 2HKO Gliscor, it can still win by landing Toxic on the foe's predicted switch in.

Would that work? Tagging boomp too
