⚔ How to beat Gligar

  • Ice hits for ×2.56 — Gligar's Ground/Flying typing is double-weak, so those attackers outperform their score gap.
  • Watch its Bug/Flying/Ground/Dark moves — counters like Weavile and Abomasnow (Mega) take super-effective damage from them.
  • Snow weather boosts Ice moves ×1.2 — the best time to battle Gligar.
  • Not yet in GO: Chien Pao would rank in the top 5 with Powder Snow / Blizzard but hasn't been released.

Rankings are estimated cycle DPS (attack stat × move damage ÷ cycle time, with STAB and type effectiveness). Not a full battle simulation.
