Gliscor Gets Spotlight as a Pokemon Champions Counter Pick

A new YouTube strategy video is drawing attention to Gliscor as a potential answer into key Pokemon Champions matchups. The exact claim is simple: Gliscor may be stronger as a counter-pick than many players are currently giving it credit for.

For competitive prep, the main takeaway is not that Gliscor should be forced onto every team, but that it is worth testing seriously in doubles. Its Ground/Flying typing gives it useful defensive angles, including an Electric immunity and a Ground immunity, which can matter a lot when positioning around common spread damage and pivot turns. In a format without Tera, those natural type traits are harder for opponents to erase on demand.

Pokemon Champions also changes optimization through the SP system, so Gliscor builds should not be copied blindly from older formats. Players will need to test whether bulk, Speed, or damage investment best supports its intended role, especially if it is being used to check specific attackers rather than act as a general wall.

If Gliscor rises, expect counterplay to focus on Ice coverage, special attackers, and board states that deny it safe turns.
