Swords Dance Gliscor is the most potent and efficient wincon in the tier, able to outlast almost all of its checks, courtesy of its its immense bulk and its ability Poison Heal, which grants it status immunity, passive recovery, and the ability to not worry about Knock Off crippling it. These traits also allow it to check and freely set up on a myriad of Pokemon such as Toxapex, Heatran, and Mega Diancie. Facade complements Earthquake, giving Gliscor near perfect coverage, and its high PP also lets Gliscor outlast checks like Skarmory. Roost is important, as it lets Gliscor stave off stronger attacks like Tapu Koko’s Hidden Power Ice and lets Gliscor scout Choice-locked Pokemon like Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Kartana. Taunt can also be used over Earthquake to deny more passive checks such as Skarmory and Ferrothorn from boosting up with Iron Defense or Leech Seeding it, as well as beat opposing Swords Dance Gliscor and Taunt Heatran if it Terastallizes. However, this comes at the cost of significant special bulk due to the need to run more Speed investment, as well as the ability to instantly threaten Heatran. Swords Dance Gliscor is a frequent Tera user, as it can often be extremely difficult to revenge kill once it has Terastallized to beat any offensive check it has. Tera Fairy gives Gliscor an all-around great defensive type, letting it take neutral damage from attacks like Kyurem’s Freeze Dry and Darkrai’s Dark Pulse while still being neutral to Water-, Grass-, and Ice-type attacks. Tera Water, on the other hand, lets Gliscor resist these Water- and Ice-type attacks, completely flipping the matchup on Pokemon like Urshifu-R and Weavile. The given EVs maximise Gliscor’s Poison Heal recovery and special bulk, with the remaining EVs in Speed, but a Jolly nature with 20 Speed EVs can be used with Taunt to outspeed max Speed Modest Heatran. Swords Dance Gliscor works best on bulkier teams with solid entry hazard support from Ferrothorn and Clefable to help pressure the switches it forces. Pokemon like Kartana, Iron Valiant, and Mega Tyranitar that can cripple or pressure its checks, such as Skarmory, Mega Latias, and Ferrothorn, are amazing partners as well. Other setup sweepers such as Iron Defense Zamazenta and Calm Mind Mega Latias also appreciate Gliscor’s ability to take advantage of Galarian Slowking and Toxapex. If Gliscor has not yet Terastallized, it can easily be forced out by Water- and Ice-type attacks from Pokemon like Weavile, Urshifu-R, and Kyurem; this makes partners like Mega Scizor, Toxapex, and Corviknight that can stave off these attacks important.

Chinese Set: 撒菱/清除浓雾/隐形岩|剧毒|地震|羽栖 @剧毒宝珠||毒疗||252HP/4防御/252特防 慎重 太晶属性：妖精/水
天蝎王是分级中最高效的撒钉手和清除浓雾使用者之一，它无与伦比的持久性和耐久让它能够持续或彻底打败龙卷云-灵兽、席多蓝恩和雄伟牙等常规的除钉手和撒钉手。这些属性也提供给天蝎王非常多的换入机会并借此对着超坏星、皮可西和土地云-灵兽等被动的宝可梦撒钉或清钉。剧毒帮助解决天蝎王被动的问题并让雄伟牙、龙卷云-灵兽和武道熊师-连击流等进攻向check的生命进入倒计时，从而让天蝎王能够在前二者登场清钉子的时候持续消耗它们。羽栖对天蝎王等持久性非常重要，让它能够在对局中持续地挡住席多蓝恩和超级蒂安希。拍落是剧毒的一个替代选项，能够削弱坚果哑铃和清洗洛托姆等天蝎王的常规换入，让它配合撒菱施加更多压力。
However, this does make Gliscor significantly more passive, making it generally inferior to Toxic unless desperately needed. Tera Fairy lets Gliscor pivot into Choice Specs Darkrai’s Dark Pulse in a pinch and check Raging Bolt consistently, while Tera Water lets Gliscor get off a Toxic or Earthquake on threats like Ogerpon-W and Urshifu-R to prevent them from spiraling out of control. Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Zamazenta, and Iron Valiant appreciate Spikes chip damage helping to wear down their checks. Due to its susceptibility to strong Water- and Ice-type attacks, Toxapex, Kartana, and Mega Scizor are premier partners, which also also appreciate Gliscor checking Heatran, Mega Lopunny, and Tapu Koko.
