Pokemon Spotlight: Gligar family

Gligar was first introduced in gold and silver, and being how i was primarily a silver player i only really encountered him in combat as he was a gold exclusive meaning i never really got the chance to play with the little mon, but his typing had always intrigued me. i mean a ground/ flying its sort of a weird mix but clearly not the first (or last) weird typing this game would receive. ( i am looking at you Inkay) however truth be told i would come to like many Pokemon in this game forget. Honestly it would not even be at Generation four would i take notice, by then i had moved on from y two year college to my four year and my friend who were playing the game with me were starting to drop off.

It would not be until last year as my interest in pokemon started to reignite, i picked up the anime right where i believe i dropped off (right around the end of gen 3), It was Ash’s little goofy gligar that got me really interested in it. i watched it go from Gligar to Gliscor and by then X-Y had hit the shelf. I dabbled a bit with the little creature, but it became in valued part of my team set ups when i started challenging people all over the world with the system. It was there battling against others that i saw the true potential of a Gliscor. Suddenly to me this doofy little pokemon went from cute to powerful. I had unlocked finally its true potential on the world stage and unlike my poor little Crobat this one actually holds up without a mega evolution, (not that i would turn one down.) The best ability with this little guy is poison heal which you can get breeding or catching a Gligar with immunity.  I have not been let down but this little pink flying scorpion and if you give the family a try i doubt they would fail your either.
