Armed with excellent bulk and typing, Gligar glides over all as a defensive entry hazard setter! Knock Off cripples item-reliant Pokemon like Scyther, Piloswine, and Copperajah. Due to Gligar being a good Knock Off absorber, Acrobatics can be used to hit Flying-weak Pokemon like Shaymin, Heracross, and Arboliva, foes that would safely switch into Earthquake and Knock Off. Toxic cripples bulky setup sweepers like Dudunsparce and Paldean Tauros-F while U-turn lets Gligar escape bad matchups like Tatsugiri and Galarian Articuno. To shore up its average special bulk, special walls like Copperajah, Goodra, and Bronzong are appreciated. In turn, they appreciate Gligar stomaching physical hits from wallbreakers like Paldean Tauros-F, Heracross, and Lycanroc. If Gligar is running U-turn, Electric-types like Jolteon and Rotom-C can keep up momentum and form VoltTurn cores while threatening Water-types like Qwilfish and Tatsugiri. Wallbreakers like Bruxish and Hoopa can take advantage of the pivoting and hit the field more safely.
