[SET COMMENTS]
* Having the capability to set all entry hazards without becoming passive thanks to Toxic Debris, combined with role compression to cripple a good portion of its checks, Glimmora is a potent hazard setter for hyper offense teams.
* Power Gem allows Glimmora to hit super effectively common Defoggers in Ho-Oh and Yveltal, applying offensive pressure to keep entry hazards on the field.
* Mortal Spin gives Glimmora a chance to remove entry hazards from other suicide leads such as Shuckle, Mega Diancie, and opposing Glimmora, and cripples with poisoning foes such as support Arceus formes without Refresh, Zygarde, and Primal Groudon.
* Mud Shot cripples foes that try to setup on it such as Primal Groudon, Necrozma-DM, and Zacian-C, additionally it eases the matchup against Eternatus by causing it to become easier to revenge kill with a lowered Speed stat, punishing the act of it switching in to remove Toxic Spikes. With it, Glimmora can outspeed opposing Glimmora and Mega Diancie and potentially finish them off with Mortal Spin to prevent any hazard from staying on its side of the field, but this limits its capability to set entry hazards out of a lack of move slots.
* The given EV spread avoids a OHKO after Stealth Rock from Arceus-Ghost's Shadow Force, Choice Band Tera Flying Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent, and +1 Zacian-C's Close Combat while also outspeeding fully invested neutral natured base 90 Speed foes such as Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, granting more odds to set entry hazards, with the rest being added to Special Attack to maximize damage output, but it's to be noted that this spread can't outspeed Zacian-C after a Speed drop from Mud Shot. An alternate spread of 40 Def / 244 SpA / 224 Spe fixes this while retaining the Rayquaza and Zacian-C benchmarks and the capability to OHKO specially offensive Yveltal with Power Gem after Stealth Rock.
* Tera Steel prevents opposing Glimmora from removing entry hazards with Mortal Spin, Glimmora however shouldn't usually Terastallize as other Pokemon it's partnered with generally make better use of Terastallizing.
* If the opposing team has a Poison-type like Glimmora or Eternatus, setting Toxic Spikes shouldn't be a priority as they will get quickly removed as soon they enter the field, unless its team is designed to mitigate this issue, thus making it desirable to focus on setting Stealth Rock or Spikes to still discourage switches. Similarly, as Glimmora can remove Toxic Spikes by switching in as long it survives entry hazards, it can still become useful mid-game after getting worn down in such matchups.
* Against Trick Room teams, Glimmora should be kept for the mid-game as it can't set hazards on their usual lead in Hatterene out of its Magic Bounce ability, especially as Toxic Spikes hinder the longevity of such teams, and can prove useful to stall out Trick Room turns by being sacked.
* Against stall teams, setting Toxic Spikes and using Mortal Spin should be priorities to hinder the longevity of such teams, especially as Glimmora can do this multiple times across the match out of not taking damage as quickly as in other matchups.
* Wallbreakers such as Zacian-C, Double Dance Primal Groudon, and Necrozma-DM appreciate the entry hazards set by Glimmora to ensure more KOes, they also act as counterplay to Eternatus to limit its capability to come in to remove Toxic Spikes with offensive pressure.
