| | Gligar is a purple, bat-like Pokémon. Its head and body are round and roughly equal in size. It has long, triangular ears and triangular eyes with small pupils, as well as large fangs and a long, pink tongue lolling from its mouth. Its arms are segmented at the wrists, and end in large pincers. Spread between its arms are two blue wing membranes, each tipped with a purple claw. Its legs are thin and likewise segmented at the ankles, with its round feet having one claw each. Gligar has a long tail split into spherical sections, ending in a large, round stinger. Female Gligar have smaller stingers than males. |
| Gligar is a small, purple, bat-like Pokémon. It has a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|single pair of blue wings}}, which are similar in function to a {{wp|flying squirrel}}'s, and have pointed claws at the edges of the membranes. Gligar has pincers on its forelegs, and a segmented, insectoid tail with a stinger on the end. Gligar has short hind legs, and feet that appear segmented with a large, single claw each. Additionally, Gligar has long, pointed ears and triangle-shaped eyes, fangs and a large tongue that is often seen out of its mouth. Gligar could be considered a cousin of {{p|Skorupi}} due to its scorpion-like traits; however, it shares some bat-like traits as well, making it similar to {{p|Zubat}}. There is confusion whether the claws on a Gligar's wings and feet are white or purple, since the artwork has differed this way between and even during generations. However, the official artwork from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} depicts Gligar with purple claws, the same purple as its body. | |

| ====Gender differences====
| | As shown in ''[[DP064|the anime]]'', Gligar can {{wp|Animal echolocation|emit sound waves}} to detect obstacles and fly around them. It glides smoothly and silently through the air with its limbs extended, and startles its prey and enemies by flying straight toward them. It attacks by clamping onto its enemy's face with its clawed hind legs and pincers, then jabbing it with its stinger. |
| A female Gligar has a smaller stinger.

|
| ===Special abilities===
| | Gligar lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|mountainous regions}}, making its nest along cliff sides. When it is done gliding, it hops along the ground back to its nest. |
| Gligar knows a small handful of {{t|poison}}ous attacks, such as {{m|Poison Sting}} and the rarely known {{m|Cross Poison}}. Gligar can also use a few {{type|Bug}} moves, like {{m|Fury Cutter}} and {{m|U-turn}}. While Gligar can learn {{t|Ground}} and {{type|Rock}} moves typical to a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, its abilities as a {{type|Flying}} are limited. Most notable is the fact that Gligar cannot learn {{m|Fly}}. | |
| | |
| Also, Gligar and its evolved form {{p|Gliscor}} are two out of three Pokémon that are both Flying and Ground, which gives them an immunity to both {{type|Electric}} and Ground [[move]]s. This trait is shared only with {{p|Vibrava}}, {{p|Flygon}}, {{p|Baltoy}}, and {{p|Claydol}} due to the {{a|Levitate}} [[Ability]], and {{p|Landorus}}, who has the same type combination.
| |
| | |
| As shown in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'', Gligar, along with its evolved form {{p|Gliscor}}, can {{wp|Animal echolocation|emit sound waves}} to detect obstacles and fly around them.

| | |
| ===Behavior===
| |
| Flying straight at the foe's face, it startles them by clamping on with its clawed hind legs and the pincers on its forelegs, before jabbing with its poison stinger. Gligar also tend to ambush prey as it passes by below. When it is done gliding, it hops along the ground back to its nest.
