Gligar is a small, purple, bat-like Pokémon. It has blue wings like a flying squirrel. Gligar has scorpion claws and a tail with a stinger on the end. Gligar has long, pointed ears and triangle-shaped eyes. Gligar is considered to be a distant cousin of either Zubat or Skorupi due to its bat- and scorpion-like traits.
Gender differences
A female Gligar has a smaller stinger.
Special abilities
Gligar knows a small handful of Poisonous attacks, such as Poison Sting and the rarely known Cross Poison. Gligar can also use a few Bug-type moves, like Fury Cutter and U-turn. While Gligar can learn Ground- and Rock-type moves typical to a Ground-type Pokémon, its abilities as a Flying-type are limited. Most notable is the fact that Gligar can't learn Fly.
Gligar glides through the air without a sound as if it were sliding. This Pokémon hangs on to the face of its foe using its clawed hind legs and the large pincers on its forelegs, then injects the prey with its poison barb.

Gligar and Gliscor are the only Pokémon that who are dual-typed that have immunity to one of their own types (Ground moves do nothing to Template:Type2s).
Gligar's colors vary between games and the anime. It is a light blue-violet in its sprite artwork and game artwork, regular purple in the high-grade console games such as Pokémon Battle Revolution, and powder-pink in the anime.
Gligar is heavier than Template:P2, being 142.9 lbs while Gliscor is only 93.7 lbs.
