Glimmora @ Assault Vest
Ability: Toxic Debris
Level: 50
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 244 HP / 156 Def / 4 SpA / 68 SpD / 36 Spe
Bold Nature
- Sludge Bomb
- Power Gem
- Mortal Spin
- Earth Power
Glimmora has very unique tools that open up new strategies in VGC Series 3! It has low opportunity cost for spreading poison, as Mortal Spin hits both foes without being stopped by Taunt, and Toxic Debris allows it to set Toxic Spikes without wasting turns. Wo-Chien, Dondozo, and Ting-Lu appreciate this, since they sit on the field for many turns, making the poison damage add up. Glimmora is also great at countering these bulky Pokemon, making them choose between Terastallizing into a Poison- or Steel-type—meaning they take more from Earth Power and can't Terastallize later—or losing their longevity. Assault Vest makes it hard to remove Glimmora with special moves, while physical attacks activate Toxic Debris. Assault Vest's drawback is minor, since Glimmora likes having both STAB moves, and Earth Power is important for hitting Poison- and Steel-types. Tera Grass turns its Water and Ground weaknesses into resistances and is also valuable against Amoonguss. The set survives a Stomping Tantrum from Dragonite, and after Terastallizing into a Grass-type, it can take two hits from Iron Bundle's Freeze-Dry.
