Ash's Gliscor: Difference between revisions

In ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'', after a brief talk and recap, Ash and Paul decide to have a battle, and Gligar volunteers to be Ash's first Pokémon. However, Gligar's sheer determination comes to a screeching halt when Paul sends out ''his'' first Pokémon: Gliscor. Initially intimidated, Gligar pulls itself together and goes in for an {{m|X-Scissor}}, but Gliscor puts the breaks on Gligar with a {{m|Knock Off}}. Gligar recovers and uses {{m|Sand Attack}}, but Gliscor, unaffected, flies up and prepares a {{m|Guillotine}} attack. Gligar attempts to counter Gliscor with {{m|Steel Wing}}, but Gliscor's attack prevails and defeats Gligar. Initially sad, Gligar becomes elated after being congratulated for effort by Ash and the rest of his Pokémon.

In ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]'', Ash decided to start training Gligar, but this was troublesome as Gligar, despite being eager to impress Ash, had developed a fear of battling following its loss to Paul's Gliscor. However, when Gligar and Ash were kidnapped by Team Rocket, Gligar showed it was determined to conquer its fears allowing it to master {{m|X-Scissor}}. Later, in order to save Ash from a fall, it used the [[Razor Fang]] Ash received from {{Gary}} (after Gligar had a practice battle with his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}) to evolve into Gliscor. It appears to have kept its personality traits even after evolution, as it still cries when scolded by Ash and also winks and sticks its tongue out.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====

Gliscor, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, it was seen relaxing with {{AP|Noctowl}} and {{AP|Leavanny}} and later watched the battle between Ash and Paul. Before Ash left, it posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

===Personality and characteristics===

Gliscor is one of the most emotional Pokémon Ash owns. As a Gligar, it was a crybaby, tearing up when upset at failing or being yelled at by Ash, especially when it was afraid as shown in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' and ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]''. It had a big fear of battling other Pokémon and was afraid of high heights, despite being a {{type|Flying}}. Gligar seems to have a habit of sticking out its tongue and winking when appearing. It also has the tendency to crash land on top of Ash due to its inability to glide properly or would land on him for comfort. It would also try very hard to earn Ash's approval and attention. Gligar's evolution into Gliscor saw a noticeable confidence boost as it learned to overcome most of its fears, especially its fear of facing other Pokémon. Despite its evolution, it still kept most of its personality. It still remains loyal to him and is more than willing to try to prove to be strong for its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and itself.

Gliscor also became a scout with {{AP|Staraptor}} as they would look for lost parties or {{TRT}}. Since being left at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab, Gliscor became friends with [[Ash's Noctowl]] and {{AP|Leavanny}}, as seen in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', where they were relaxing in a tree together.
