252 Atk Choice Band Infernape Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 192+ Def Eviolite Gligar: 123-145 (36.8 - 43.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock
0 Atk Mandibuzz Foul Play vs. 252 HP / 192+ Def Eviolite Gligar: 40-48 (11.9 - 14.3%) -- possible 7HKO after Stealth Rock

beats them both up... the ev's are to survive banded nape flare blitz after rocks which means gligar can eat one roost it off and just proceed to murder the monkey or roost stall it until it dies. It beats mandi since it does jack shit damage vs it
