Strategy Overview

Glameow faces a lot of competition in the LC metagame as a fast, offensive Normal-type. While its offensive stats are outclassed by those of both Aipom and Meowth, its Dark- and Fairy-type coverage moves give it unique offensive options. With access to both Fake Out and Sucker Punch, it's capable of outprioritizing Fletchling, and it can use its high Speed to revenge kill effectively. Don't spring into action with Glameow right away, though; it suffers from a severe lack of bulk in a metagame full of bulky Pokemon. Entry hazards and residual damage wear it down quickly, and, in worst cases, it can't even take a single attack without being KOed. Due to its very low bulk and poor offensive stats, it is threatened by and can be setup bait for plenty of common sweepers like Timburr, Omanyte, and Pawniard. With the right support, however, Glameow can find its way into a team desperately needing a fast Knock Off or Fake Out user.
