Gliscor (Japanese: グライオン Glion) is a dual-type Ground/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves from Gligar when leveled up, at night, holding a Razor Fang.
Biology
Physiology
Gliscor are large, vampire bat-like Pokémon. In evolution, the Gligar's leg-like claws have become more defined as legs, and its tail now has two barbs, as opposed to Gligar's one, giving its tail the resemblance of vampire's fangs. Its arms have also become completely detached from its wings. It has similar looking pincers to Scizor. Gliscor's body resembles an open mouth, with the pointed protrusions coming from its torso appearing to be fangs, further illustrating its vampiric qualities.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Gliscor's abilities are the same as Gligar's, except Gliscor's attacks are more powerful and it can now learn the Elemental Fang attacks. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Gliscor can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
As shown in Riding the Winds of Change!, Gliscor, along with its unevolved form Gligar, can emit a sort of sound wave in order to detect obstacles and fly around them, similar to echolocation. However, their legs appear to be not suitable for walking and can only preform short hops when on the ground.
Behavior
Gliscor hang upside down while sleeping, much like other bat-like Pokémon. In addition to this Gliscor, unlike Gligar, are nocturnal. While Gligar eat during the day they glide back to the colony's nest at night so the Gligar can go out and hunt. Gliscor's wings cannot be flapped to the same extent that other Pokémon's wings can. Gliscor has to use winds and updrafts to glide from place to place. Therefore it is not technically "flying". When there is no wind, Gliscor climbs to the top of tall trees using its sharp raptorial claws and then gliding from place to place. This practice is similar to flying squirrels and also to the flying frogs and snakes of the Amazon and Congo Rainforests.
Habitat
They are extremely rare, but sometimes are found in thick pine forests and swamps.

Trivia
- Gliscor and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon to have the Ground/Flying type combination.
- Gliscor and Gligar are the only dual-typed Pokémon that have immunity to one of their own types without the help of an ability; Ground moves do nothing to Template:Type2s.
- Gliscor, along with its pre-evolution, is one of the few Pokémon who can only learn STAB by TMs, egg moves and move tutor, not naturally.
- Gliscor is lighter than its pre-evolution, weighting in at only 93.7 lbs, while Gligar is 142.9 lbs. This suggests it is better adapted for flight.
- Gliscor is one of ten non-Bug, Template:Type2 Pokémon that cannot learn Fly.
- Gliscor, along with Electivire, Magmortar, and Tangrowth, are the only Generation IV Pokémon that explicitly required the use of a Generation III game in order to be available until the release of Pokémon Platinum. In this case, Gligar are only available through dual-slot mode with Pokémon Emerald.
- Gliscor is the only Pokémon to have an exclamation point in its Pokédex entry.
Origin
It shares physical traits with bats, gargoyles, scorpions and vampires.
Name origin
