Unless that Gligar is Specially Defensive, this Palkia is going to moist the shit outta him.

not necessarily. Gligar can be quite tricky if trained right and if the Palkia has been just trained basically in level. Gligar could win in a competitive battle against other people

Actually, it looks like 5th gen graphics

So, I'm guessing that if he goes sub+protect (Granted that the Palkia hasn't invested at all into speed) and if the Gligar is equipped with an Eviolite, he can easily toxic stall that space distorting dinosaur

Even if the Palkia hasn't invested in Speed, it'll be faster.

That taken into account, the Palkia would still fuck it up good. Palkia's highest stat is Special Attack and it gets a STAB-boosted, super effective Hydro Pump.
Assuming it had no IVs or EVs and a Negative nature, Palkia's Special Attack Stat is 274.
A Gligar with maxed-out EVs and IVs and a Positive nature would have a max Defense Stat of 251
Taking into account that those are 5th Gen graphics, we'll say the Gligar has an Eviolite
We'll have the Palkia use Hydro Pump
Let's calculate the damage.
It will take away 56%-67% of Gligar's HP if the Gligar also has max HP EVs and IVs.
In two turns, the Palkia would murder the Gligar. Palkia wins.

it depends on the speed and spec. defense. If gligar is high in both he should be able to pull out a win.

No, he couldn't. Even with the eviolite, the strength of Palkia isn't to be underestimated, especially since it's super effective.

I don't think maskedhippo even read my comment. I addressed the Special Defense of the Gligar...

you only mentioned defense

I meant Special Defense. My bad.

ah. I see. that makes sense.
