Ground is a dangerous matchup for Glimmora — quadruple damage means one hit can end things. On the flip side, it resists 6 types, so the defensive profile isn't all bad. Its damage comes from the special side. Introduced in Gen 9.
Sp. Atk and Defense carry most of Glimmora's stat budget. Attack's the obvious dump stat. Very hard to catch and yields 2 Sp. Atk EVs. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
When this Pokémon detects danger, it will open up its crystalline petals and fire beams from its conical body.
Glimmora’s petals are made of crystallized poison energy. It has recently become evident that these petals resemble Tera Jewels.
Glimmora Weakness
VulnerableType-wise, Glimmora takes extra damage from Ground, Water, Psychic, and Steel. Watch out for Ground attacks, those deal 4x damage. With 6 resistances, the defensive profile is strong.
Evolved from Glimmet. Glimmora is the final form in this two-stage line. Plenty of partners for breeding via one egg group. Eggs are slow to hatch. Defense grew the most through evolution (+48 over Glimmet), and Glimmora peaks at 525 total stats.
How to Evolve
Breed with Glimmora to get Glimmet eggs easily using 84 partners from the Mineral egg group.
Nothing fancy here. Glimmora builds around Red Card for extra utility, Timid nature for the right stat lean, and flexible EVs EVs. Toxicdebris does its job quietly.
