What's going on? No support, for Gligar!? Gligar is by far the most resilient to the most over-used pokemon in under-used, Heracross. I don't have an up to date set for Gligar right now, using him competitively in only gen 4, but I will argue his case anyway. Being weak to only 2 types, water and ice, one of which is rarely seen competitively as a whole, and the other far less frequently than its resistances (see if you can guess which is which :D) means that it can be used defensively pretty well, though I think sweeping suits him better. He has 3 resistances, and even the same amount of immunities than weakness'! With ground types being common in competitive battling, as well as the oh so common earthquake, and Gligar being the best flying type in UU, period, it means that Gligar is always a sure-fire combat to ground types. Gligar's second immunity, electricity, is also fairly common in competitive battling. Though electricity isn't as common in UU, it is a good combat against any Raikous that like STAB, and though is nowhere near as helpful as Gligar's ground immunity, it's still handy to have around. His resistances are: Fighting, poison and bug, of which, fighting is the most common. In fact, fighting is the most common in type in UU isn't it? Not much really needs to be said on these resistances, since Gligar has a nice supply of flying type moves to use against some foolish competition or un-balanced teams in UU with lots of fighting types. Poison and bug types aren't very common in UU, with the exception of Crobat, which Gligar can deal with quite easily with a stone edge. Gligar has an excellent move-pool, from the afore-mentioned stone edge to acrobatics without an item, meaning that Gligar can be whatever you want it to be, defensive, sweeper, 50/50, trapper (since it has stealth rock, sandstorm and swagger), some kind of supporter with the three weather conditions rain dance and/or sunny day and /or sandstorm and finally a good baton passer, with hone claws, double team, rock polish and swords dance!
