Scary Face + U-Turn

by Nameless90

Gliscor brings a lot of utility moves, and in this set I picked Scary Face, a status move with 100% accuracy in order to bring some useful Spe control, a thing that Gliscor doesn't have. Scary Face is also a very spammable move because of 100% accuracy and Spe drop, which is always useful What makes Scary Face relevant is both the -2 Spe and the access to U-turn to gain momentum, something that sometimes is underlooked. With Scary Face you can realistically choose between a slowish U-turn and a fastish one. This is important to support your teammates while dealing chip damage and scouting some items. Earthquake is the STAB with high base power and Knock Off is mandatory in my opinion because in this generation this move is not available for too many pokemons, so it is much more valuable. The EVs spread is stolen from above, and I find it nice because you can outspeed something with Some Spe EVs and you can tank better on the special side of the spectrum. This Gliscor doesn't have to KO things, it has to annoy the opponent's threat through Knock Off, Scary Face and/or U-turn. For these reasons, this Gliscor does well when we have still some teammates to support since it lacks offensive power to muscle through threats.
