From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Ash's Gligar (Japanese: サトシのグライガー Satoshi's Gliger) is the fourth Pokémon captured by Ash Ketchum in the Sinnoh region. Its Japanese voice actor is 小西克幸 Katsuyuki Konishi.
Ash caught Gligar in DP064. It and a Gliscor had become trapped in a city after being blown there by a violent windstorm. Gliscor's attempts at using sonar to navigate out of the city were blocked by the tall buildings, and only served to attract more Gligar and the Pokémon soon formed a pack.
The pack survived by picking fruit from trees, and stealing food from humans. After Ash and his friends save the pack, Gligar decides to travel with Ash, allowing him to capture it.
Gligar seems to have habit of licking its lips and winking when appearing. It also has a tendency to crash land on top of Ash.
