How Gliscor Aged Perfectly.

Gliscor is selling 1 Gliscillion copies with the addition of excellent utility moves like Toxic Spikes

Didn't even mention Toxic Spikes. Which get absorbed by poison types... Which Earthquake is super effective against.

[@damonke7674]

Sorry what does this mean?

[@thepurified8386]

@@damonke7674you can switch into toxic spikes with poison types to remove them, but since gliscor is a ground type with a strong earthquake, poison types don't want to switch into it, and so the toxic spikes stay up and poison more pokemon overall

Their DESIGN has aged perfectly, too. A bat combined with a scorpion and alien face-hugger is such a creative fusion, and something I’ve only ever really seen here in Pokémon! I also appreciate it all being a big “haha scorpion fly” joke, even if it gives worrying context to what their stinger actually is.

Leave me alone

[@massimilianodelrosso5495]

The OG Ground/ Flying type. As a former kid who used Gligar in gen 2, Gliscor has a special place in my heart... Especially to smack Terrakion in BW2 OU

[@RainbowLizardOne]

It's nice of you to mention the UU-ranked pokemon Landorus-Therian in this video. It needs all the help it can get.

[@DoctorThundah]

One of my favorite pokemon of all time, and I was so happy when I learned it was so good competitively. I love that it's still good after all this time.

[@toyecatm2558]

Same, I love Gliscor

[@davidunderwood1773]

I haven’t checked the stats but I’m pretty sure Great Tusk running Ice Spinner has skyrocketed since Gliscor returned. Showing its presence alone has changed the use of possibly the most important Pokémon of the generation.

[@dorkfish1275]

which has nerfed great tusk from what I gather, since it NEEDS ice spinner to exist.

[@FirstLastname604]

Loyal Three: We have an ability that can badly poison you on contact! Kid named Leftovers Gliscor: 😈

[@Munby1]

Thanks for explaining and illustrating how Gliscor aged perfectly.

[@jacksonparker6983]

Almost all Great Tusk I’ve encountered on the ladder have now been running Ice Spinner over CC or Knock Off, a move that it seldom used in the past. Goes to show how impactful Gliscor is to the gen 9 meta wear it’s forcing one of the top 2 mons to sacrifice one of its coveted utility or stab moves

[@Amalgam03]

It says a lot about a Pokémon when people are unironically running Trick Pecha on Gholdy

[@herpderp1013]

That’s hilarious 😂

[@dragodx8238]

A big hug and a punch in the face. Which one first? Dunno.

[@LukeA471]

You know you're old when Gliscor still feels new

[@Kayther33]

Gliscor has almost my age lol

[@its_me_jamie]

Thank you Jimothy Cool for explaining and illustrating how the very unique Pokemon Gliscor aged perfectly in the competitive singles formats over the years.

[@tysonvienneau1830]

Imagine telling someone who doesn't know a single thing about Pokémon that a giant flying scorpion that isn't poison nor bug but ground that learns CRABhammer of all things is also one that manages to stay relevant in a meta filled with flying lions, dragons of various degrees, killer robots, killer dinosaurs, mushrooms, piles of coins, and many more. I love this thing

[@papipaupanda1401]

Gliscor's reintroduction to current gen will probably haunt a good chunk of mons. Heatran, Sneasler, the newly introduced Trio, among others 🤐🤐

[@mr.sandman7339]

Bad news for Heatran

[@Hyperneosonic97]

Heatran probably won't have to worry about Gliscor... considering they're no longer in the same tier- Heatran actually _fell_ to UU.

[@Mepphy99]

Gliscor being so efficent in Gen 9 OU is so cool, i wish he also had defog bit i Guess it's asking too much in this Gen ...

[@moyai5317]

Gliscor is great on gen 5 to check excadrill as it can reliably switch into iron head consistently compared to lando

[@ryankealty1376]

Jimothy Cool: come for the Pokemon analysis, stay for the lore

[@SkullTheLegless]

I've always loved gliscor, back in XY before I even knew of the competitive scene I grinded (ground?)so much for that hidden ability gliscor because I thought it was cool. Imagine the joy when I found out they were good!

Literally my favorite mon since i was a kid. So happy to see it's been viable for so long

[@cleanbishop7874]

Gligar and Glissssscor. Dawg was cooking with this pronouncation

[@amb1ance]

Imagine how defining gliscor would have been if he existed in ADV

[@kadabraguy9846]

I mean it'd be good obviously, however Toxic Orb didn't exist until Gen 4 so it wouldn't have a reliable way to poison itself. That, plus the lack of moves like U-Turn and Stealth Rock, would probably have left it wanting more in ADV

[@Pudcup]

​@@kadabraguy9846 UUBL garrented

[@jimtsap04]

​​@@kadabraguy9846it would still be amazing with sand immunuty spikes immunity, thunderbolt and earthquake immunity, great defenses solid attacj and moves like eq swords dance toxic knock off agility baton pass, plus the lower power level, if gliscor mananges to survive in gen 9 ou without roost and gligar manages to scrape a niche in gen 3 uu I can absolutely see gliscor succeeding in gen 3 ou

[@deeznoots6241]

IIRC Gligar was good in UU, but without the tools they get in gen 4 they likely wouldn’t be able to handle OU whether its Gligar or Gliscor, no stealth rocks and Skarmory just completely blanks it, even if you remove skarm with Magneton(something which is really only worth doing for genuine threats like Snorlax and Metagross) it will struggle with stuff like bulky rest-talk Suicune, Starmie, ice beam Blissey, Swampert, etc. ADV OU is extremely different to gen 4 OU and a Gliscor without stealth rock would struggle, only role it could really fill is rock resist on superman teams in the place of Flygon where it might have a decent niche for a team that prefers the different resistances/neutralities of flying/ground compared to ground/dragon. It isn’t a strictly better mon than Flygon though since Flygon isn’t weak to water, resists fire, and can run fire blast to threaten Skarms that would love to face Gliscor on superman teams(since superman teams just cannot afford to run Magneton without becoming horribly inconsistent)

[@EggscellentTree]

​@@kadabraguy9846Gliscor got poison heal in gen 5 as hidden ability, so he can still get poisoned but despite that I think he would still be good.

[@Qwonkyxtra]

My favorite pokemon as a kid and still now. Never had I known he was a Competitive Menace until a few years ago

[@marvalice3455]

The fact that gliscor has now existed for longer than gligar by itself makes me feel a bit old

[@LoudWaffle]

Bro that happened literally 10 years ago

[@InFiNiTeO7]

Here after seeing Heatran (a little while) and Garchomp drop to UU. Gliscor really representing Sinnoh.

[@Laxerjan]

You should make a video talking about the gen 3 "200 metagame" because I think it's one of the most overlooked things about competitive pokemon ever and apparently slaking was king there? I don't know much about it. It would also be interesting to know more about those "half generations" such as diamond and pearl without platinum where hypnosis was 70% accuracy and scizor didn't have bullet punch or the "weather meta" of black and white 1 without the genies therian forms and without sheer force landorus, where all weather was legal and every team was sand rush, swift swim or clorophyl basically. Thanks, hope you'll consider these ideas!

[@fitzyakamcsyke]

Ah yes Glisgor, he's up there with Breloom, Starmie, Zapdos and Jirachi in my top 5 pokes of all time.

[@yammez1]

I mean the simple fact it still has Toxic is a buff in and of itself. With so many pokemon losing access to Toxic in gen 9, the move became far more valuable for the few that managed to keep it.

[@CoralReaper707]

[@dawsonpierce263]

If you thought EIGHT Ground types was a lot, just wait for Gliscor to gain prominence in OU. I think Heatran is actually sweating now.

[@theshatteredseas]

It required so many ground types to bring heatran down but, maybe its possible, maybe now

[@hugomventura]

​@@theshatteredseas only possible way to bring heatran down is if either landarous or glisgor get flying stab. Like literally, terra grass will be quaking in its boots seeing that.

[@memedaddy7098]

Gliscor did get dualwing beat

[@yungmuney5903]

Metagame when ice types have 0 resistances.

[@Hyperneosonic97]

Heatran has fallen from OU, alongside Garchomp (Garchomp would then immediately get banned from UU).

[@ProfessorChad0570]

So, if you do the setup correctly, Gliscor can recover 25% HP back with Toxic Heal, Lefties, and Grassy Terrian (which does require your Tera). I did use it along Glimmora, Terrian Extender Rillaboom, and Cinderace Court Change and pivot into Gliscor then start beating my opponent's head in. Gliscor is unkillable and god tier.

Jimothy, I think it would be very awesome if you did a collaboration interview with the amazing competitive Pokémon KZbin PokeaimMD.

I wanna' experiment with Gliscor in doubles. Potentially running Life Orb over Toxic Orb and running a partner with Toxic (Like Grafaiai because of Prankster). The damage from Life Orb is offset by its healing. Maybe running tera-normal for Facade or tera-water for defensive uses. Tera-ground to power-up Earthquake and so on.

The crazy thing about Poison Heal is that you can literally half its healing (to become Leftovers) and it’ll still be a great ability. Being immune to status and not caring about Knock Off is extremely strong

[@LoudWaffle]

That’s so funny that in only one gen Gliscor went from a stall breaker to the king of stall.

[@danielmee3938]

Jimothy I would like your insight on how Iron Fellow would compete for a team slot over Iron Mugulous in the current meta. I would also like to ask how you think both of them would stack up against the future paradox form of Quilfish: Danger Sushi, once he is released in the DLC.

[@MegaUMU]

Gliscor never needed roost. It helped him for sure but poison heal was so powerful on its own it can just run protect. Protect gliscor has always been nice historically to not only rack up chip or scout moves but also to stall out pp. For example BDSP (rip) Gliscor is one of the most obnoxious mons to face and an common switchin is rotom wash (sometimes choiced) Gliscor with some spdef can stall out hydros

[@Jake38nine]

Gligar/Gliscor is the only pokemon i can think of as being 3-4 typings all at once. If only it got Poison STAB. But it makes up for it with its Ability. Similar to that Anchor Pokemon that is Grass/Ghost, but has an ability giving it STAB on Steel moves, but should also have Water STAB. I love complex pokemon like this. Even Ninetales has lore that backs up its Ghost, Psychic and Dark moves. I really hope Ninetales gets a regional fake at this point that is a ghost type or Psychic/Ghost.

[@Tinderbeef]

Poison heal is such a cool ability, I wish they distributed it to more pokemons, swampert would be a good choice imo, helps with its current longevity issue.

[@_Light_Crow]

In my opinion, loosing roost heavily hinders gliscor, but he doesn't care and is OU anyways, because gliscor doesn't care what nerds think
