Why can't a Gliscor have the following set:
Gliscor (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Ice Fang
- Defog
- Toxic
- Swords Dance
Apparently it can't learn Defog because it's incompatible with it's ability or another move?
mfw leftovers. Please replace Leftovers with Poison Orb to abuse you ability Poison Heal and recover 1/8 of your total hp instead of 1/16 with Leftovers.
Now I will reply in
2 major points:
1)Primal Kyogre is very popular and It has Rest for your Toxic, It resists Ice Fang which does 8% maximum and it one shots you back as show here:
0 Atk Gliscor Ice Fang vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Primal Kyogre: 25-29 (7.3 - 8.5%) -- possibly the worst move ever
252+ SpA Primal Kyogre Origin Pulse vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Gliscor in Heavy Rain: 956-1128 (270 - 318.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
It also loses to almost everything in the tier with a weak attack like that.
2)Gliscor's only niche in Ubers is to set up Stealth Rock,check Ho oh and some Primal Groudons and also be a status absorber so use this set instead:
Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock/Protect/Knock Off
- Roost
- Earthquake
- Toxic
