Gliscorin Pokémon Polished Crystal
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.
