groundflying

Pokédex Entry

FangScorpio Pokémon

Its flight is soundless. It uses its lengthy tail to carry off its prey… Then its fangs do the rest. Gliscor has Ground/Flying typing, which gives it good defensive stats. Poison Heal as its hidden ability paired with Toxic Orb provides recovery, status immunity from other stat conditions, and gives it a hidden bonus with some planning. You can use Swords Dance can be used to boost its attack and then follow through with Night Slash. Alternatively, if you end up with a Gliscor that has Sand Veil, you can pair it with the TM for Sandstorm and raise its evasion on first move with it.
