* Gligar's means of capture was similar to [[Ash's Squirtle]], in that it was part of a group of Pokémon of its species causing trouble for a town, joined because it wanted to go with Ash, filled Ash's [[party]] with six members, and was captured shortly before Ash met up with the region's third [[Gym Leader]]. | * Gligar's means of capture was similar to [[Ash's Squirtle]], in that it was part of a group of Pokémon of its species causing trouble for a town, joined because it wanted to go with Ash, filled Ash's [[party]] with six members, and was captured shortly before Ash met up with the region's third [[Gym Leader]]. | ||

**In [[DP075]], Gligar appeared to be blushing just moments before it tackled Ash to the floor; why it did so is unclear, but may be further evidence that it might be female. | **In [[DP075]], Gligar appeared to be blushing just moments before it tackled Ash to the floor; why it did so is unclear, but may be further evidence that it might be female. | ||
**Further, in [[DP081]], Gligar repeatedly goes to Ash for hugs and affection. Gligar listens very intently and contemplatively to Ash's encouragement, seeming to drink in his every word, and is even startled when the other Pokémon encourage it. This behavior is also calls to mind [[Ash's Bayleef]] and [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], both of whom showed interest in Ash and are both female Pokémon. Also, the three Pokémon have English names which are also similar to their respective Japanese names, and each has evolved once. | **Further, in [[DP081]], Gligar repeatedly goes to Ash for hugs and affection.

**Yet another parallel between the three Pokémon is that they each evolved to save their trainers from danger; Chikorita evolved into Bayleef to save Ash, Aipom evolved into Ambipom to save Dawn, while Gligar evolved into Gliscor to save Ash. | **Yet another parallel between the three Pokémon is that they each evolved to save their trainers from danger; Chikorita evolved into Bayleef to save Ash, Aipom evolved into Ambipom to save Dawn, while Gligar evolved into Gliscor to save Ash. | ||
**Another interesting relationship to note of is that these three Pokémon have run away from Ash (due to a conflict between them) at various points of time (Bayleef did so in [[EP200]], Aipom did so in [[AG182]], while Gliscor did so in [[DP085]], when it was still a Gligar), but they patch things up with him pretty quickly, usually strengthening their bond at the end of the episode | **Another interesting relationship to note of is that these three Pokémon have run away from Ash (due to a conflict between them) at various points of time (Bayleef did so in [[EP200]], Aipom did so in ''[[AG182|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', while Gliscor did so in [[DP085]], when it was still a Gligar), but they patch things up with him pretty quickly, usually strengthening their bond at the end of the episode. | ||
*[[DP085]], the episode in which Gligar evolved into Gliscor, first aired in Japan on the Thursday of the same week that the dub of ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]'', the episode in which Gligar is captured, first aired in the United States. | *[[DP085]], the episode in which Gligar evolved into Gliscor, first aired in Japan on the Thursday of the same week that the dub of ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]'', the episode in which Gligar is captured, first aired in the United States. | ||
*Gliscor is Ash's only Pokémon and the third of a main character's Pokémon to evolve via an item ([[Razor Fang]]). The first one was [[Misty's Politoed]] ([[King's Rock]]) and the second was [[Brock's Ludicolo]] ({{evostone|Water Stone}}). Coincidentally, all these Pokémon evolved with items that belonged to someone else, and the Pokémon belong to the anime's original three protagonists. | *Gliscor is Ash's only Pokémon and the third of a main character's Pokémon to evolve via an item ([[Razor Fang]]).

*Ash's Gliscor is smaller than [[Paul's Gliscor]], a relationship similar to that which [[Ash's Kingler|Ash's Krabby]] shared with a {{p|Krabby}} that {{Gary}} (another [[rival]] of Ash's) caught. | *Ash's Gliscor is smaller than [[Paul's Gliscor]], a relationship similar to that which [[Ash's Kingler|Ash's Krabby]] shared with a {{p|Krabby}} that {{Gary}} (another [[rival]] of Ash's) caught. | ||
