LC Glameow

[zizalith]

[OVERVIEW]
Despite its high Speed and access to Play Rough, Glameow finds itself outclassed by other fast offensive Normal-types like Bunnelby, Taillow, and Meowth. Glameow simply is not as powerful as its competition, and its paltry bulk means if it doesn't OHKO the opposing Pokemon it is likely taking huge damage. There is very little that can justify running it in favor of other more consistent, powerful, and versatile Normal-type cleaners.

Glameow should be used as a cleaner thanks to its great Speed and good priority. Its main niche over other Normal-types is its ability to outspeed and hit Mienfoo, Vullaby, and Timburr with Life Orb-boosted Play Rough. However, Glameow is still walled by most Pokemon that resist Normal like Ferroseed and Tirtouga and it struggles to KO most neutral targets. This makes it a much less appealing option over stronger Normal-type wallbreakers.

not too fond of the current slashes situation, esp since you can afford to fite HP Grass or Fight on there w/o much issue. i think fake out or knock are very hard to give up tho, so idt the move is to add anything. certainly, remove u-turn.

[OVERVIEW]
Despite its high Speed and good coverage options, Glameow finds itself outclassed by other fast offensive Normal-types like Choice Scarf Bunnelby, Taillow, Zigzagoon, or Meowth. Glameow has worse overall stats; offensively it's simply is not as powerful as its competition, and its paltry bulk doesn't allow it to be a consistent wallbreaker because means if it doesn't OHKO the opposing Pokemon it is likely taking huge damage. There is very little that can justify running it in favour of other more consistent, powerful, and versatile Normal-type cleaners.

Glameow should be used as a cleaner thanks to its great speed and good priority. Its main niche over other Normal-types is its ability to hit common Normal-type switch-ins like Mienfoo, Vullaby, and Timburr with Life Orb boosted Play Rough. It also hits Dark-types like Vullaby very hard. However, Glameow is still walled by most Normal resists like Ferroseed and Tirtouga. This makes it a much less appealing option over better stronger? Normal-type wallbreakers.

QC: 1/2

[OVERVIEW]
I wouldn't really say Glameow's coverage options in general are good, since Play Rough is the only particularly notable one - honestly you could single out Play Rough here. for Remove the scarf from Bunnelby, cut Zig like fiend asked.

[SET]
Return instead of Frustration. Ditto does not exist in LC.

Clarify that it is outspeed and hit stuff with Play Rough since it is not the only Normal-type with Play Rough (the most notable other one is Teddiursa who is also better than Glameow in general). Add in that it struggles to KO neutral targets in the second sentence because that makes the last sentence make more sense.
