Gligar (Japanese: グライガー Gliger) is a dual-typed Ground/Flying Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Gligar is a small, purple, bat-like Pokémon. It has blue wings like a flying squirrel. Gligar has scorpion claws and a tail with a stinger on the end. Gligar has long, pointed ears and triangle-shaped eyes. Gligar is considered to be a distant cousin of either Zubat or Skorupi due to its bat- and scorpion-like traits.
Gender differences
A female Gligar has a smaller stinger.
Special abilities
Gligar knows a small handful of Poisonous attacks, such as Poison Sting and the rarely known Cross Poison. Gligar can also use a few Template:Type2 moves, like Fury Cutter and U-turn. While Gligar can learn Ground- and Template:Type2 moves typical to a Template:Type2 Pokémon, its abilities as a Template:Type2 are limited. Most notable is the fact that Gligar can't learn Fly.
Also, Gligar and Gliscor are the only two Pokémon that are both Template:Type2 and Template:Type2, which gives them a unique resistance to both Template:Type2 and Template:Type2 moves. This trait is only shared with Vibrava and Flygon due to their [Ability], [Levitate].
As shown in Riding the Winds of Change!, Gligar, along with its evolved form Gliscor, can emit a sort of sound wave in order to detect obstacles and fly around them, similar to echolocation.
Behavior
Habitat
Gligar live in mountainous regions, making their nest along cliff sides.

Trivia
- While Gligar was unable to learn Earthquake by TM until Generation III, a Gligar that did know Earthquake was a reward in Pokémon Stadium 2 for beating the rival in Round 2.
- Gligar and Gliscor are the only dual-typed Pokémon that have immunity to one of their own types (Ground moves do nothing to Template:Type2s).
- Gligar's colors vary between games and the anime. It is a light blue-violet in its sprite artwork and game artwork, regular purple in the high-grade console games such as Pokémon Battle Revolution, and powder-pink in the anime.
- Gligar is heavier than its evolution, being 142.9 lbs while Gliscor is only 93.7 lbs.
- Before Skorupi and Gliscor were revealed, fans believed Gligar would evolve into Drapion.
- Gligar is one of nine non-Bug, Template:Type2 Pokémon that cannot learn Fly.
- Gligar is one of the few Pokémon who cannot learn STAB attacks naturally, only by TMs and egg moves. In fact, until Generation III, it couldn't learn any STAB moves by any method.
