Strategy Overview
Glimmora is one of the best suicide leads in the Ubers metagame due to its ability to set multiple sets of entry hazards quickly while preventing opposing leads from setting their own. Its movepool allows it to match up well against other standard Ubers leads. Its decent Special Attack and Speed allow it to move before uninvested Pokemon, safely set hazards, and put down chip damage before fainting without being used as setup fodder. Many Ubers Pokemon, such as the various Arceus formes, cannot run Heavy-Duty Boots, leaving them vulnerable to entry hazards, especially Toxic Spikes. Due to the limited distribution of viable hazard control in the tier, it can be difficult for offensive teams to deal with Glimmora, forcing them to avoid hitting it with a physical attack to prevent Toxic Debris from activating.
