Strategy Overview
At first glance, Gliscor seems like a poor choice for a sandstorm team compared to its competition. Sure it can Earthquake and it's immune to other Earthquakes, but why would you use Gliscor instead of Landorus? Besides, you'd just be racking up your Water- and Ice-type weaknesses, right? However, upon closer inspection, one finds that Gliscor can be immune to status, has access to the powerful Acrobatics, and can support the entire team with Tailwind, all of which are most appreciated on sandstorm teams in a metagame where Abomasnow reigns and sleep clause is non-existent. Make use of these assets, and you'll find that Gliscor can prove to be a very handy teammate in just about any sandstorm team.
