Gligar (Japanese: グライガー Gliger) is a dual-type Ground/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves into Gliscor when leveled up, at night, holding a Razor Fang.

Biology

Physiology

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 could be considered a cousin of Skorupi due to its scorpion-like traits; however, it shares some bat-like traits as well, making it similar to Zubat.

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 Template:Type2 moves, like Fury Cutter and U-turn. While Gligar can learn Ground and Template:Type2 moves typical to a Template:Type2 Pokémon, its abilities as a Template:Type2 are limited. Most notable is the fact that Gligar cannot learn Fly.

Also, Gligar and its evolved form Gliscor are the only two Pokémon that are both Flying and Ground, which gives them a unique immunity to both Template:Type2 and Ground moves. This trait is shared only with Vibrava, Flygon, Baltoy, and Claydol due to the Levitate ability.

As shown in Riding the Winds of Change!, Gligar, along with its evolved form Gliscor, can emit sound waves to detect obstacles and fly around them.

Behavior

Gligar tend to ambush prey as it passes by below. They may also be mischievous, as shown in Riding the Winds of Change!, when a group of them were causing trouble in a city they had become trapped in.

Habitat

Gligar live in mountainous regions, making their nests along cliff sides. It also prefers hot arid environments, but doesn't mind forests either.

Diet

In the anime

Gligar debuted in The Superhero Secret. It was owned by a superhero named Gligarman, and later by his daughter when he retired from crime-fighting.

Morrison's Gligar first appeared in Saved by the Beldum.

A group of Gligar, along with its evolved form Gliscor, was featured in Riding the Winds of Change!. One of the Gligar was captured by Ash, while the Gliscor was captured by Paul. Ash's Gligar later evolved in Fighting Fear With Fear!.

Trivia

• Although Gligar was unable to learn Earthquake by TM in Generation II, a Gligar that knew Earthquake was a reward in Pokémon Stadium 2 for beating the rival in Round 2.
• Gligar and its evolution are the only Pokémon to have the Ground/Flying type combination.
  • Gligar and Gliscor are the only dual-typed Pokémon that have immunity to one of their own types without the help of an ability. (Ground moves do nothing to Template:Type2s.)
• Gligar's colors vary between games and the anime. It is light blue-violet in most sprite artwork and game artwork, dark pink in Pokémon Gold and Silver, blue-purple in Platinum, regular purple in the high-grade console games such as Pokémon Battle Revolution, and powder-pink in the anime.
• Gligar is heavier than its evolution, being 142.9 lbs while Gliscor is only 93.7 lbs.
• Gligar is one of nine non-Bug, Template:Type2 Pokémon that cannot learn Fly.
• Gligar is one of few Pokémon who cannot learn any STAB attacks by level-up, only via TMs, egg moves, and move tutor.

Origin

It shares physical traits with bats, gargoyles, and scorpions. It may be based on the scorpionfly.

Name origin

Gligar's name is a combination of glide and gargoyle.
