Summary
Gliscor (Japanese: グライオン Glion) is a dual-type Ground/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. Gliscor resembles a half scorpion/half vampire bat creature. Like Drapion and Skorupi, Gliscor has a barbed stinger on its tail. Due to the stiffness of its wings, it needs to have the wind at its back in order to stay airborne.
Gliscor, along with its pre-evolution Gligar, can emit a sort of sound wave in order to detect obstacles and fly around them, similar to echolocation. Its legs appear to be not suitable for walking, so it can only perform short hops when on the ground. Gliscor hangs upside down while sleeping, much like other bat-like Pokémon, and it is nocturnal. It is capable of soundless flight; however, its wings cannot be flapped to the same extent that other Pokémon's wings can. Like Jumpluff and Wingull, Gliscor uses winds and updrafts to glide from place to place. When there is no wind, Gliscor climbs to the top of tall trees using its sharp raptorial claws and then glides from place to place.
