Gliscor Weakness
Gliscor is weak to Ice and Water. Watch out for Ice attacks, those deal 4x damage. On the flip side, it's immune to Electric and Ground-type moves entirely. Gliscor's physical bulk (base 125 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Ice |
| 2x (Weak) | Water |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fighting, Poison, Bug |
| 0x (Immune) | Electric, Ground |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)

How to Evolve
B2W2 Gliscor Best Moveset
AbilityPoison Heal with Held ItemToxic Orb recovers 12.5%% HP every turn while blocking all other status conditions. Ground/Flying gives Electric immunity and only Ice as a weakness. 125 Defense absorbs physical attacks, and the moveset outlasts opponents through regeneration they can't prevent. Opponents need Ice coverage specifically.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 11 types means almost nothing walls Gliscor cleanly, with Sky Attack and Earthquake anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.

Gliscor Black 2 & White 2 Guide
In Black 2 & White 2, Poison Heal changes the entire equation for Gliscor. The 510 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked B-Tier as a pivot. Earthquake with Toxic Orb is the standard set.
Poison Heal is what you want on Gliscor. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Hyper Cutter, Sand Veil) work on paper but Poison Heal is what makes Gliscor worth using.
Base 95 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Gliscor is a physical attacker with base 95 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a pivot.
For Black 2 & White 2, the core moveset is Earthquake, Protect, Stealth Rock, and Swords Dance. Earthquake leads at 0% usage. Earthquake provides reliable STAB damage.
Game Availability
Obtainable through an item-based evolution, Gliscor appears in 12 titles across 7 generations since Diamond & Pearl. The evolution method adds a barrier that wild-catchable Pokemon don't have.
