Gligar

Gligar possesses a unique mix of utility and defensive uses that gives it a solid niche in the UU metagame. Its respectable bulk when holding an Eviolite fits well with its wide array of support moves such as Stealth Rock, Defog, U-turn, and Knock Off. Its Ground / Flying typing also leaves it with only two weaknesses, notably providing a resistance to U-turn and immunity to Volt Switch, stopping users like Mega Manectric in their tracks. Additionally, it is one of the best answers to the some of the tier's hard-hitting Fighting-types like Cobalion, Choice-item Infernape, and Choice Band Terrakion. However, Gligar must invest significantly into Defense to handle the aforementioned physical threats, leaving it vulnerable to special wallbreakers like Moltres and Hydreigon, given its lackluster Special Defense stat. Gligar also finds itself more passive than it would prefer, offering opportunities for setup sweepers to start accumulating boosts and muscle past it. Lastly, Gligar's heavy reliance on its Eviolite to maintain its defensive capabilities makes it vulnerable to Knock Off from Pokemon like Krookodile, Scizor, and Zeraora.
