Gligar

Sign in to edit

Gligar (グライガー, Guraigaa?) (GLY-gar[1]) is a Ground/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Gligar is a purple, bat-like Pokémon. Its head and body are round and roughly equal in size. It has long, triangular ears and triangular eyes with small pupils. Two large pointed teeth protrude from its upper jaw, and a pink tongue is often seen lolling from its mouth. Its arms are segmented at the wrists and end in large pincers. Spread between its arms are two blue wing membranes, each tipped with a purple claw. Its legs are thin and likewise segmented at the ankles, with its round feet having one claw each. Gligar has a long tail split into spherical sections, ending in a large, round stinger. It is blue in color if it is a Shiny Pokémon.

Gender differences[]

Male Gligar have bigger stingers than the females. Females have a more curly stinger than the males. This is most notable in their HeartGold/SoulSilver sprites.

Behavior[]

Gligar cling to steep cliff sides when resting, digging their pincers and claws into the rocky mountainside to hold on. They travel by gliding on favorable winds; though they can journey very far with this method, they are unable to truly “fly” like most avians, and do not flap their “wings” like them either. Gligar live in colonies of roughly a dozen individuals, all nesting on the same cliff. To hunt, Gligar soar in search of suitable prey, dropping down below when they find some. Then, they stretch out all of their limbs and dive at the faces of their victims. They latch on with their pincers and then use their stingers to inject poison and paralyze prey; then, they carry their meals back to their nests without resistance.

Trained Gligar are known to use this face-hugging habit as a form of affection with their trainers, sans the digging of claws into the flesh and the injection of poison into their trainers' foreheads (though there have been some accidents reported).

Evolution[]

Gligar evolves into Gliscor if leveled up while holding a Razor Fang during the night.

Trivia[]

  • Despite having a resemblance of a bat and/or a scorpion, it is not a Poison or Bug-type.
  • Gligar is one of the three Pokémon who evolve when holding an item. It shares this trait with Happiny and Sneasel.
  • Gligar could be seen as a counterpart to Sneasel. Both are dual-typed Generation II Pokémon that both receive an evolution in Generation IV and also evolve by leveling up at night while holding a razor item.
  • Five months before Gold & Silver released in Japan, Gligar's beta sprite was red with six arms, but its design ended up getting changed in the games' final build.[2]
  • Gligar and its evolution can't learn certain Ground-type moves like Earthquake and Bulldoze by leveling up, but by being taught.

Origin[]

Gligar appears to be a combination of a scorpion and a bat due to its bat-like ears and wings. It may also be based on a gargoyle (a type of stone statue commonly found on older or older-styled buildings that usually have wings and grotesque features) and possibly the Facehugger stage of the Xenomorph species in the Alien franchise.

Etymology[]

Gligar and Guraigā likely come from glide, gargoyle, and possibly H. R. Giger, the designer of the different stages of the Xenomorph's life cycle (see Origin).
