How to use Gliscor in the current VGC format?

**To use Gliscor effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Ground/Flying type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Gliscor appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Gliscor fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Hyper Cutter, Life Orb and Jolly 1/32/0/0/1/32. Its frequent moves include Protect, High Horsepower, Dual Wingbeat, Tailwind, Earthquake, and Rock Slide. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Gliscor has important weaknesses to ice 4x, water 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Sinistcha, Incineroar, Ninetales-Alola, Whimsicott, and Tyranitar-Mega appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.

MetaVGC tracks recent teams using Gliscor. Open the Gliscor teams page to compare complete structures, copy Showdown pastes and see how players combine Gliscor with other Pokémon in the active format.
