Strategy Overview

Glameow is one of the few Pokemon that can make for a good dedicated lead, thanks to its access to great moves such as Fake Out and U-turn along with a very good Speed stat. However, Meowth almost completely outclasses it with its better Attack stat and mostly wider movepool, forcing Glameow to find small ways to differentiate itself, mainly in the form of Sucker Punch and Quick Attack. Glameow can try to sweep with Work Up as well, which allows it to use Hidden Power to hit threats that can tank its physical movepool. Overall, Glameow is very outclassed but still a decent Pokemon in its own right, and can make for a solid member on most LC teams.
