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. | 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.

In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'', Gliscor was used as a sparring partner by {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} to help illustrate how {{AP|Grotle}} could deal with his reduced speed. In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', Gliscor battled {{an|Barry}}'s {{p|Roserade}}, and after a long exchange of {{m|Poison Jab}} and X-Scissor attacks, the battle ended in a draw. In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Gliscor learned Fire Fang after being hit by an {{m|Ice Shard}} from {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}}, and is revealed to have learned Screech some time off-screen. | ||
Its first Gym Battle was against [[Byron]] in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', Ash sending it out against {{TP|Byron|Bastiodon}}. It initially struggled as its Steel Wing and Fire Fang attacks were countered by Bastiodon's {{m|Iron Defense}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}, respectively. Although it was able to dodge Bastiodon's first {{m|Iron Head}}, it was hit by two more in succession. However, Gliscor started to make a comeback as it cleverly spread its wings to dodge Flash Cannon, before landing on Bastiodon's back and successfully landing two Fire Fangs. It was then shaken off, but was able to avert Bastiodon's Flash Cannon by tripping it with its tail. After Gliscor's X-Scissor was overpowered by another Iron Head, it hid behind a rock, though Bastiodon smashed it with another Iron Head. However, Gliscor used this opportunity to make an ambush from above, though it was forced to dodge instead when Bastiodon launched a Flash Cannon. Gliscor then used Sand Attack, leaving Bastiodon vulnerable to another Fire Fang, which was enough to knock it out and thus win the match for Ash and earn him the {{badge|Mine}}. | |||

After dodging her {{m|Razor Leaf}}, it hit her with a super-effective Fire Fang, before hitting her with its tail. It was then hit with a super-effective {{m|Ice Beam}}, but despite the major damage this caused, it was able to dodge a second one. It then went in for a Fire Fang, but Snover stopped it in his tracks with {{m|Bullet Seed}}, before finishing Gliscor off with {{m|Icy Wind}}. | ||
In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'', Gliscor battled Paul's Torterra in Ash's full battle against Paul. | In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'', Gliscor battled Paul's Torterra in Ash's full battle against Paul. It first used Sand Attack to blind Torterra, which caused its {{m|Giga Drain}} to miss, before hitting it with an X-Scissor. Torterra then became immobilized after its {{m|Frenzy Plant}} missed, and from that point on, Gliscor was able to gain the upper hand by landing two super-effective hits with Fire Fang and X-Scissor. However, after Gliscor landed a Steel Wing, Torterra regained mobility and trapped Gliscor with {{m|Crunch}}, leaving it vulnerable to Giga Drain, which sapped Gliscor of its energy while at the same time healing Torterra. Although Gliscor managed to escape Fire Fang, it had taken considerable damage, so Ash decided to recall it. It was sent out against Torterra again [[DP132|later on]], where it was defeated after being hit with Frenzy Plant. | ||
In ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]'', Gliscor | In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', Gliscor, along with the rest of Ash's Sinnoh team, was under the care of [[Nurse Joy]] in the [[Lake Acuity]] [[Pokémon Center]], suffering bodily repercussions from the rough Full Battle loss against Paul. Later, it helped rescue Pikachu from {{TRT}} by obscuring their escape with Sand Attack, before blasting them off with X-Scissor. | ||
In ''[[DP154|Mastering Current Events!]]'', Gliscor had an Air Battle with the Air Battle Master, [[McCann]], and his {{p|Scizor}}. However, Gliscor was at a complete disadvantage; it could not make turns and kept crashing into rocks, and it was unable to land any attacks on or dodge any attacks from Scizor, so it lost badly. After training reading the wind with {{Ash}} the following night, they challenged McCann and Scizor to a rematch to assess how much Gliscor had improved. Gliscor did much better this time around, being able to read the wind and therefore no longer crash into rocks, and it actually managed to dodge some of Scizor's attacks and land its own. It even learned {{m|Giga Impact}}, but despite this vast improvement, Gliscor lost again. However, McCann revealed that he was interested in training Gliscor due to how good of an Air Battler it was able to become in just one night, so Ash decided to leave Gliscor with him for further training. It then returned to Ash's party in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'' for the Full Battle against Paul in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. | |||

It was seen training alongside Ash for his upcoming battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', where it was revealed to have grown significantly during its time with McCann. It was also shown to have perfected Giga Impact in a practice match with [[Dawn's Mamoswine]].

It was also shown to have perfected Giga Impact in a practice match with [[Dawn's Mamoswine]]. In ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]'', it battled Paul's {{p|Ninjask}} and was shown to have learned Stone Edge while training with McCann. Unfortunately, it was not enough to defeat Ninjask, who was fast enough to avoid its Stone Edge and Fire Fang attacks as well as hit it with multiple {{m|Fury Cutter}}s. Gliscor was then smashed into the ground and subsequently {{status|poison}}ed by Paul's {{p|Drapion}}'s {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, so Ash recalled it. He sent it out again against Drapion later in the battle, and McCann's training began to show; it dodged {{m|Pin Missile}} and used Stone Edge against Drapion's {{m|Cross Poison}}, which created a huge smoke cloud that Gliscor cleverly used to obscure itself and thus leave Drapion vulnerable to its Giga Impact. Gliscor then used the recoil to distance itself from Drapion, thus keeping it from taking advantage of the move's immobilization effect. Drapion used Pin Missile again, but Gliscor bravely flew into it and readied an X-Scissor. | ||
In the [[DP188|following episode]], Gliscor | In the [[DP188|following episode]], Gliscor continued charging in with X-Scissor against Drapion's Pin Missile, although it ended up getting hit at the last minute. However, Gliscor recovered and dodged Drapion's Cross Poison, before defeating it by {{status|burn}}ing it with a Fire Fang. It continued battling against [[Paul's Electivire]], but despite having the type advantage, Gliscor had taken a lot of damage from battling Ninjask and Drapion, so it was defeated after getting hit by pieces of terrain launched by Electivire's {{m|Thunder}}, followed by a powerful {{m|Brick Break}} after Electivire blocked its Giga Impact and trapped it with its tails. | ||
Following the Lily of the Valley Conference, Gliscor was sent to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. | Following the Lily of the Valley Conference, Gliscor was sent to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. | ||
