[SET COMMENTS]
SubTox Gliscor has cemented itself as an exceptional stallbreaker on Ground teams, possessing an incredible ability in Poison Heal, great defensive stats, and a versatile typing which grants Gliscor desirable resistances and a Ground immunity. The combination of Substitute and Toxic allows Gliscor to stall out and wear down a myriad of walls in the tier, including Ting-Lu, Sinistcha, Swampert, Iron Hands, and many more. Protect permits Gliscor more turns for recovery from Poison Heal and in turn prevents targets from dealing damage to Gliscor or its Substitute, helping it rack up more passive damage from Toxic. Earthquake threatens foes immune to Toxic like Toxapex, Gholdengo, Sneasler, and Hisuian Goodra while also dealing decent chunks of damage with Toxic to progress games quicker. The given EV spread and a Jolly nature maximize Poison Heal recovery and allow Gliscor to outpace Adamant Mamoswine, letting it use Substitute before Mamoswine can use Icicle Crash to stall it out via Toxic.
Clodsire is an essential teammate due to Water Absorb, which allows it to take on foes such as Barraskewda, Choice Scarf Greninja, and Ogerpon-W, while also spreading Toxic Spikes to aid in Gliscor's stallbreaking. Mamoswine removes foes immune to Toxic such as specially defensive Corviknight after Stealth Rock damage, opposing Gliscor, and Amoonguss. Additionally, Mamoswine offers an Ice resistance due to Thick Fat and pressures Alolan Ninetales, Kyurem, and Weavile. Sandy Shocks threatens Water- and Flying-types such as Primarina, Gyarados, Corviknight, and Skarmory. Iron Treads deals with Ice- and Fairy-types like Articuno, Alolan Ninetales, Flutter Mane, and Hatterene. Choice Scarf Great Tusk threatens Dark-types such as Bisharp, Hisuian Samurott, and Hydreigon while also removing recovery items from walls via Knock Off, enhancing the potency of Toxic. Clodsire and Sandy Shocks appreciate Gliscor providing a Ground immunity, walling Landorus, Hippowdon, and Great Tusk, while Mamoswine and Great Tusk value chip damage from Toxic, which wears down walls like Rotom-W and Slowbro.
