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

Unlike things like Scyther that used to get powerful cards but got powered down after it got an evolution, Gligar always sucked pre- and post-Gliscor.
This looks cool though.

As we are discussing a card from over 15 years ago, I may be mistaken BUT Gligar saw some usage in competitive play. Notice it has a free Retreat Cost and Fighting Resistance, things that helped the original Jungle Scyther. It wasn’t anywhere near as useful, just saying it wasn’t useless.
