**Gliscor** is a dual Ground and Flying-type Pokémon introduced in the series' fourth generation.

## Background

Gliscor, the Fang Scorp Pokémon, is a Ground and Flying-type Pokémon, and the evolved form of Gligar. Using its bat-like wings, Gliscor can glide from place to place by riding updrafts of wind, achieving a form of soundless flight that allows it to circle the globe without flapping its wings once. It observes prey while hanging upside-down from tree branches before swooping down on its target and finishing them off. Notable Gliscor have belonged to Ash Ketchum.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Hyper Cutter:**One of Gliscor's possible Abilities. This makes it so Gliscor's attack power can't be lowered or weakened by an individual besides itself.
* **Sand Veil:**Gliscor's other possible Ability. This makes it so Gliscor is harder for enemies to hit during a sandstorm.
* **Poison Heal:**Gliscor's Hidden Ability. When a Gliscor with this Ability is poisoned, the poison will heal it rather than cause it harm.
* **Gliding:**Gliscor can use its bat-like wings to glide by riding wind currents. Gliscor's gliding is completely silent, and it can circle the globe without flapping once by catching even a light breeze.
