Glimmora Scarlet & Violet Guide
For Scarlet & Violet, we rate Glimmora A-Tier: a strong pick in Scarlet & Violet's competitive scene. At 525 BST, it fits the hazard setter role. Mortalspin with Focus Sash is the standard set.
Toxic Debris is the go-to ability for Glimmora. It scatters poison spikes at the feet of the opposing team when the Pokémon takes damage from physical moves. Its hidden ability Corrosion can work in specific setups.
Base 86 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Glimmora is a mixed attacker with base 55 Attack and 130 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a hazard setter.
In Scarlet & Violet, the best way to handle Glimmora: Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Ground, Water, and Psychic-type attackers hit hardest.
