I think a lot of us know how much of a troll Gliscor can be with Poison Heal so I'm just going to show a set that I like to use

Gliscor (Ground/Flying)
Ability: Poison Heal
Nature: Bold/Impish
Item: Toxic Orb
EVs: 252 Def, 252 Sp Def, 4 Atk
Moves: Substitute, Protect, Toxic, Earthquake

This is my favorite set solely because you can literally stall your opponent to death. I think the only problem it may have is fighting against Steel/Flying types like Skarmory, so maybe Earthquake can be shifted out for another move, but other than that it's a pretty nice set I like using. What do you think? Any changes should be made?
 
Eh, that is a good Gliscor set, but it lacks a good offensive with only Earthquake and Toxic. I am more of an offensive person than defensive, but Toxic Orb+Subsitute works well but protect could be switched out with Poision Fang or something that has STAB or covers it weakness.

It's mostly made to stall lol, but yea I'm thinking about changing either Protect or Earthquake to something else in order to cover any remaining weaknesses and what not, might change Earthquake for Poison Fang more than likely.
 
It's a pretty standard set, though I would change the EV spread, Sp.D investment isn't really run on SubToxic, you're better off changing the spread to 244 HP / 208 Def / 56 Spe, which gives Gliscor as much bulk as possible while giving it the ability to outpace neutral natured base 70s. Honestly, the SubToxic variant of Gliscor has trouble working in the current metagame which is why the Sword Dance and Sp.D variants are more preferred, and Gliscor is hurt by the fact that it shares the same typing as Landorus, as what typically handles Landorus handles Gliscor, also getting rid of a base 100 STAB move for a bad coverage move like Poison Fang isn't typically a good idea, keep Earthquake.
 
I always like running facade and EQ on gliscor, just because it's so strong. Plus, it let's you hit flying pokes pretty hard when they least expect it :sneaky:
 
I'd run knock-off instead of Earthquake since it can cripple pokemon who depend on their items, so even if skarmory swapped in, you can stll hit it and take off its leftovers. You should change the 252 Sp. Def to 252 HP, also definitely run impish instead of bold so you get the defense boosting nature without the attack drop.
 
I use the same set. The only problem is that if you go against another Gliscor you're doomed. D:
