Swords Dance Gliscor is the most potent and efficient wincon in the tier, able to outlast almost all of its checks, courtesy of its its immense bulk and its ability Poison Heal, which grants it status immunity, passive recovery, and the ability to not worry about Knock Off crippling it. These traits also allow it to check and freely set up on a myriad of Pokemon such as Toxapex, Heatran, and Mega Diancie. Facade complements Earthquake, giving Gliscor near perfect coverage, and its high PP also lets Gliscor outlast checks like Skarmory. Roost is important, as it lets Gliscor stave off stronger attacks like Tapu Koko’s Hidden Power Ice and lets Gliscor scout Choice-locked Pokemon like Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Kartana. Taunt can also be used over Earthquake to deny more passive checks such as Skarmory and Ferrothorn from boosting up with Iron Defense or Leech Seeding it, as well as beat opposing Swords Dance Gliscor and Taunt Heatran if it Terastallizes. However, this comes at the cost of significant special bulk due to the need to run more Speed investment, as well as the ability to instantly threaten Heatran. Swords Dance Gliscor is a frequent Tera user, as it can often be extremely difficult to revenge kill once it has Terastallized to beat any offensive check it has. Tera Fairy gives Gliscor an all-around great defensive type, letting it take neutral damage from attacks like Kyurem’s Freeze Dry and Darkrai’s Dark Pulse while still being neutral to Water-, Grass-, and Ice-type attacks. Tera Water, on the other hand, lets Gliscor resist these Water- and Ice-type attacks, completely flipping the matchup on Pokemon like Urshifu-R and Weavile. The given EVs maximise Gliscor’s Poison Heal recovery and special bulk, with the remaining EVs in Speed, but a Jolly nature with 20 Speed EVs can be used with Taunt to outspeed max Speed Modest Heatran. Swords Dance Gliscor works best on bulkier teams with solid entry hazard support from Ferrothorn and Clefable to help pressure the switches it forces. Pokemon like Kartana, Iron Valiant, and Mega Tyranitar that can cripple or pressure its checks, such as Skarmory, Mega Latias, and Ferrothorn, are amazing partners as well. Other setup sweepers such as Iron Defense Zamazenta and Calm Mind Mega Latias also appreciate Gliscor’s ability to take advantage of Galarian Slowking and Toxapex. If Gliscor has not yet Terastallized, it can easily be forced out by Water- and Ice-type attacks from Pokemon like Weavile, Urshifu-R, and Kyurem; this makes partners like Mega Scizor, Toxapex, and Corviknight that can stave off these attacks important.

Gliscor is one of the most effective entry hazard setters and Defog users in the tier due to its unparalleled longevity and bulk, letting it outlast or outright beat common hazard removers and setters such as Tornadus-T, Heatran, and Great Tusk. These attributes also provide Gliscor with numerous opportunities to switch in and either set or remove entry hazards against passive Pokemon like Toxapex, Clefable, and Landorus-T. Toxic helps with Gliscor's passiveness and puts its offensive checks like Great Tusk, Tornadus-T, and Urshifu-R on a timer, letting it outlast the former two, which seek to remove its Spikes. Roost is important for Gliscor’s durability, letting it constantly stave off attacks from Pokemon like Heatran and Mega Diancie throughout the match. Knock Off is an option over Toxic to cripple Gliscor’s switch-ins like Ferrothorn and Rotom-W, allowing it to further pressure them with Spikes. However, this does make Gliscor significantly more passive, making it generally inferior to Toxic unless desperately needed. Tera Fairy lets Gliscor pivot into Choice Specs Darkrai’s Dark Pulse in a pinch and check Raging Bolt consistently, while Tera Water lets Gliscor get off a Toxic or Earthquake on threats like Ogerpon-W and Urshifu-R to prevent them from spiraling out of control. Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Zamazenta, and Iron Valiant appreciate Spikes chip damage helping to wear down their checks. Due to its susceptibility to strong Water- and Ice-type attacks, Toxapex, Kartana, and Mega Scizor are premier partners, which also also appreciate Gliscor checking Heatran, Mega Lopunny, and Tapu Koko.
