Gliscor (Japanese: グライオン Glion) is a dual-type Ground/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Gligar by level-up, at night, with a Razor Fang.

Biology

Physiology

Gliscor are large, vampire bat-like Pokémon. In evolution, the Gligar's leg-like claws have become more defined as legs, and its tail now has two barbs, as opposed to Gligar's one, giving its tail the resemblance of vampire's fangs. Its arms have also become completely detached from its wings. It has similar looking pincers to Scizor. Gliscor's body resembles an open mouth, with the pointed protrusions coming from its torso appearing to be fangs, further illustrating its vampiric qualities.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Gliscor's abilities are the same as Gligar's, except Gliscor's attacks are more powerful and it can now learn the Elemental Fang attacks. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Gliscor can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.

As shown in Riding the Winds of Change!, Gliscor, along with its unevolved form Gligar, can Template:M2 in order to detect obstacles and fly around them, similar to echolocation. However, their legs appear to be not suitable for walking and can only preform short hops when on the ground.

Behavior

Gliscor hang upside-down like bats when sleeping.

Habitat

They are extremely rare, but sometimes are found in thick forests and swamps.

• Gliscor is one of nine non-Bug, Template:Type2 Pokémon that cannot learn Fly.
