#44: Gliscor

Gliscor looks like it's a poisonous, vampire-like scorpion/bat thingy, but strangely enough it's ground/flying-type, having immunity to electric-type attacks (despite it being a flying-type) and ground-type attacks. That combination also takes away a weakness to rock and grass, but Gliscor is extra vulnerable to ice-type attacks. Thankfully, it has a very good attack stat and an even better defense stat, while also capable of taking a special-based hit. And because Gliscor is also quite zippy, it will strike first very often. Yeah, Gliscor is a great Pokémon to use in the video games, and I can say that due to my own experiences with Gliscor in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. It's almost a wonder the goofy Gligar evolves into the vicious-looking Gliscor (by leveling it up at night while it's holding a Razor Fang), because Gligar is actually a lame Pokémon in my opinion. I don't like it that much, so I was surprised that Gamefreak actually came with an evolution of Gligar in the fourth generation. And it looks cool, too! Besides, even though I don't watch the anime anymore, Ash also had a Gliscor (see images below; click on them to enlarge, or drag them to other tabs), although its whereabouts are currently unknown. Too bad it was more like a cuddly, happy fellow often close to bursting into tears, or so it looks like according to Google Search. Well, maybe that has something charming, after all. Anyhow, Gliscor is a great Pokémon and therefore it deserves a spot in my list of favorite Pokémon!
