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, which are similar in function to a flying squirrel's. 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.
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 a 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!.
