you are all missing the point. gliscor is simply a mon that isnt strictly offensive that can abuse passivity of balance cores or pivots in OU. Sure stuff like clefable is immune to DOT and doesnt mind knock off but you dont gain much of an advantage by having clefable sitting in on a passive pokemon. Gliscor benefits so much from it that it can outheal stealth rock damage just by switching in on a non attacking move. if you stay in, it can knock, toxic, spike, or SD and its entirely unthreatened by the holy trio of defensive cores, Knock, status, and chip. its already poisoned, doesnt need its item, outheals all your chip, and you cant grind down its recovery PP because it recovers naturally. Theres no wall in the game that can contest gliscor except a second gliscor. For this reason its wrong to call gliscor a stall mon, its purpose this gen is to completely abuse do-nothing passive cores. you cant use the rest of your defensive core to deal with gliscor so you have to either absorb a knock/toxic/eq on one of your offensive switch ins, or you play passively and let it recover all its HP while spamming spikes. The only way to play around gliscor effectively is to pressure it offensively.
>bro just lure it and use ice coverage
scouted by protect
>bro just bring defog
every single defogger in the tier loses to it and it has more spike pp than defog pp
The fact of the matter is gliscor is the only way for passive teams to deal with opposing gliscor and offensive teams really dont need to worry about building specifically for gliscor since it doesnt have any do-nothing pokemon to abuse on your team.
Anyways im voting DNB for the suspect test.
