- Earthquake
- Roost
- U-turn / Knock Off
- Defog / Stealth Rock
After being denied entry to Galar throughout the generation, Gliscor has returned to BDSP OU with a bloodthirsty vengeance! Its unique defensive typing, insane longevity, and nifty utility options establish Gliscor as one of the best Pokemon in the tier, fitting nicely on various team archetypes, ranging from bulky offense to stall. U-turn gives a free switch to frail yet terrifying wallbreakers such as Weavile, Latios, and offensive Starmie that feast on Gliscor's switch-ins like Tangrowth, Slowbro, and opposing Gliscor. Alternatively, Knock Off removes Leftovers from the aforementioned Slowbro. Gliscor also provides entry hazard control as either a setter or remover, and it is one of the tier's best Defoggers due to its positive matchup against common Stealth Rock setters like Heatran and Jirachi. Additionally, once Toxic Orb is activated, it becomes a status absorber, allowing it to safely switch into Breloom's Spore and Heatran's Lava Plume. Teammates such as Rotom-W and Scizor forms a solid pivoting and defensive core with Gliscor, covering its crippling Ice weakness. The latter also appreciates Gliscor's ability to check Heatran and Magnezone.
