Strategy Overview

Poison

Glimmora is enticing; its respectable Special Attack combined with a strong movepool—containing powerful support options like Stealth Rock, Mortal Spin, and Corrosion Toxic and hard-hitting offensive tools like Sludge Wave and Earth Power—should make it a powerhouse. However, it is never going to be the best at making use of its supportive and offensive options. Its low bulk makes it far too frail to consistently spread Toxic poison, keep entry hazards up, or remove them with Mortal Spin, making its support unreliable in the long term. Meanwhile, its Special Attack is only just respectable, and it is unable to threaten types like Flying and Fire as much as it would like without major support to wear teams down first. It also demands a Choice Scarf; otherwise, it isn't fast enough to check threats such as Cinderace and Ogerpon-H comfortably.
