It glides as if sliding. It startles foes by clamping on to their faces, then jabs with its poison stinger.

It clamps on to its chosen prey then jabs the stinger on its tail into the prey while it’s stunned with surprise.

Generation 6

It usually clings to cliffs. When it spots its prey, it spreads its wings and glides down to attack.

It flies straight at its target’s face, then clamps down on the startled victim to inject poison.

Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire

Gligar glides through the air without a sound as if it were sliding. This Pokémon hangs on to the face of its foe using its clawed hind legs and the large pincers on its forelegs, then injects the prey with its poison barb.
