Base Stats
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 Guide
We rate Glimmora A-Tier: a strong competitive pick. At 525 BST, it fits the hazard setter role. Base 130 Sp. Atk stands out.
Toxic Debris is the go-to ability for Glimmora. It scatters poison spikes at the feet of the opposing team when the Pokémon takes damage from physical moves. Its hidden ability Corrosion can work in specific setups.
Base 86 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Glimmora is a mixed attacker with base 55 Attack and 130 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a hazard setter.
Best way to handle Glimmora: Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Ground, Water, and Psychic-type attackers hit hardest.
Game Availability
Glimmora joined the series in Scarlet & Violet and has been available in 2 titles so far. With 2 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
