Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Tera Type: Fairy / Water
EVs: 244 HP / 252 SpD / 12 Spe
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Facade
- Roost

Gliscor's amazing bulk and defensive typing, further bolstered by the addition of Terastallization, allow it to solidify itself as one of the most potent wincons in NatDex OU, clawing its way through defensive cores! Earthquake and Facade provide Gliscor with solid neutral coverage, only missing out on Pokemon like Skarmory that it can still PP stall in the long run. Gliscor functions extremely well with Spikes support from Skarmory and Ferrothorn, as it can wear down Gliscor's short-term answers extremely quickly, allowing it to outlast them. While Gliscor's bulk is solid, it can still be forced out by strong wallbreakers such as Mega Charizard Y and Tapu Lele, so teammates that can pivot into them like Toxapex and Gholdengo are good partners. Lastly, Tera Fairy provides Gliscor with a solid neutral typing, preventing it from being revenge killed easily by Kyurem and Dragapult, while Tera Water allows Gliscor to flip its Water- and Ice-type weaknesses into resistances, turning former checks and revenge killers like Barraskewda and Mega Swampert into setup fodder.

Here is a replay from Week 1 of NDWC showing Swords Dance Gliscor in action!

Gliscors amazing bulk and defensive typing, further bolstered by the addition of Terastal, allow it to solidify itself as one of the most potent win conditions in NatDex OU, clawing its way through defensive cores! Earthquake and Facade provide Gliscor with solid neutral coverage, only missing out on Pokemon like Skarmory which it can PP stall in the long run. Gliscor functions extremely well with Spike support from Skarmory and Ferrothorn, (ac) as it can wear down Gliscor’s short-term answers extremely quickly, allowing it to outlast them. Furtheremore Furthermore, while Gliscor's bulk is solid, it can still be forced out by strong wallbreakers such as Barraskewda (Shifu is a more common answer I think, so as Zard Y) and Tapu Lele, so teammates that can pivot into them like Toxapex and Gholdengo are good partners. Lastly, Tera Fairy provides Gliscor with a solid neutral typing, preventing it from being revenge killed easily by who?, while (add space) Tera Water allows Gliscor to specifically flip its Water- and Ice-type weaknesses into resists, making former checks and revenge killers like Barraskewda, and Mega Swampert, (rc) and Kyurem into setup fodder. did you forgot freeze dry was a thing :worrywhirl:

Gliscors Gliscor's amazing bulk and defensive typing, further bolstered by the addition of Terastallization, allow it to solidify itself as one of the most potent win conditions wincons in NatDex OU, clawing its way through defensive cores! Earthquake and Facade provide Gliscor with solid neutral coverage, only missing out on Pokemon like Skarmory which that it can still PP stall in the long run. (this better emphasises that not being able to hit skarm isn't the end of the world) Gliscor functions extremely well with Spike Spikes support from Skarmory and Ferrothorn, as it can wear down Gliscor's short-term answers extremely quickly, allowing it to outlast them. Furthermore, while While (i removed "furthermore" because i think this sentence contrasts somewhat with the previous one rather than directly adding to it) Gliscor's bulk is solid, it can still be forced out by strong wallbreakers such as Mega Charizard Y and Tapu Lele, so teammates that can pivot into them like Toxapex and Gholdengo are good partners. Lastly, Tera Fairy provides Gliscor with a solid neutral typing, preventing it from being revenge killed easily by Kyurem and Dragapult, while Tera Water allows Gliscor to flip its Water- and Ice-type weaknesses into resists resistances, making turning former checks and revenge killers like Barraskewda, (remove comma) and Mega Swampert into setup fodder.
