- Mortal Spin

[SET COMMENTS]
Glimmora is an excellent entry hazard lead due to its ability Toxic Debris and access to Mortal Spin, which helps it prevent hazards from opposing leads such as Ribombee while also inflicting poison on opposing Pokemon. Dazzling Gleam is used to OHKO Koraidon, which may otherwise use Glimmora as setup fodder, and significantly dent Defog Giratina-O. Memento is used to remove any boosts obtained by Pokemon trying to set up on Glimmora while also gaining momentum. Mud Shot is used to deter setup from the likes of Zacian-C, Calyrex-S, and Calm Mind Arceus formes. Tera Steel enables Glimmora to spinblock opposing Glimmora. Tera Fairy grants an immunity to Scale Shot from Koraidon, which may otherwise break through Glimmora's Focus Sash. Tera Ghost is an alternative option to prevent Rapid Spin from opposing leads such as Great Tusk. A bulky EV spread of 80 Def / 224 SpA / 204 Spe with a Bold nature can be used to prevent Scale Shot Koraidon from OHKOing non-Terastallized Glimmora without Alternatively, maximum Speed investment allows Glimmora to outpace Taunt defensive Arceus formes. As Glimmora fits best on hyper offense teams, teammates that benefit from the hazards set by it such as Calyrex-S, Calm Mind Arceus-Ground, Miraidon, Koraidon, Extreme Killer Arceus, and Zacian-C are appreciated. Grimmsnarl is also a good partner for Glimmora, with Grimmsnarl being able to set dual screens after Glimmora has set up entry hazards.

Hazard Lead (Glimmora) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Toxic Debris
Tera Type: Steel / Fairy / Ghost > Ghost / Steel / Fairy (being immune to spin/low kick/etc is far better imo. I'd organize the teras in the analysis how I put them here, aka talking first about ghost, then steel, then fairy)
EVs: 80 Def / 224 SpA / 204 Spe or 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Bold / Timid Nature
- Spikes / Stealth Rock
- Dazzling Gleam / Memento
- Mud Shot
- Mortal Spin

[SET COMMENTS]
Glimmora is a an excellent suicide lead in the metagame due to its ability, Toxic Debris, and access to access to Mortal Spin, which helps it prevent hazards from opposing leads such as Ribombee while also inflicting poison on opposing Pokemon. Dazzling Gleam is used to OHKO Koraidon, which may otherwise use it as set up fodder. Mud Shot is used to deter setup from the likes of Zacian-C, Calyrex-S and Calm Mind Arceus formes. Tera Steel enables Glimmora to spinblock opposing Glimmora. Tera Fairy grants an immunity to Scale Shot from Koraidon, which may otherwise break through Glimmora's Focus Sash. A bulkier EV spread of 80 Def / 224 SpA / 204 Spe with a bold nature can be used to prevent Koraidon from breaking through without using Terastallization. This set,<-(add comma) however, is vulnerable to bring being shut down by Taunt from defensive Arceus formes. Tera Ghost is an alternative option to prevent Rapid Spin from opposing leads such as Great Tusk.(as I said before if you decide to implement the changes, talk about the teras in order) As Glimmora fits best on hyper offense teams, teammates that benefit from the entry hazards set by it, such as Koraidon, Calyrex-S, Calm Mind Arceus formes, Extreme Killer Arceus, and Zacian-C are appreciated.(maybe mention miraidon too?)Grimmsnarl is also an excellent partner for Glimmora, as both synergise synergize well, with Grimmsnarl being able to set screens after Glimmora has set up entry hazards.
