PvP Analysis

Fury Cutter + Aerial Ace and Dig
Fury Cutter is slightly preferred over Wing Attack after the latter's nerf in Pokemon GO: Max Out, having a slightly higher energy generation at the cost of a little bit of damage
Gligar's STAB Charged Attacks received buffs in the Adventures Abound Season, allowing it to finally make good use of its excellent and nigh-unresisted STAB combination. Dig is a medium cost Ground STAB move that deals okay damage and is fairly reliable. Aerial Ace is a fairly cheap STAB move. Night Slash is a cheaper Charged Attack than Aerial Ace and is a viable option, but it does not receive STAB.
Great League
From Adventure Abounds until Shared Skies, Gligar was a top meta pick for the Great League due to its fantastic stats, typing, and moves. It redefined the Flying-type role due to its part Ground-typing and its access to a moderately reliable Ground-type STAB, which allowed it to pressure Electric- and Steel-type Pokemon much better than other Fliers. Shadow Gligar was especially potent; it was able to make good use of the Shadow Bonus due to its consistent damage output, and it was still bulky enough even with the defense penalty.
Pokemon GO: Max Out has nerfed Gligar tremendously, with Wing Attack suffering from an energy loss and Dig dealing less damage. As a result, Gligar lost the tools it needed to remain a top meta threat. However, as a bulky Flying-type with fairly reliable coverage against Electric- and Steel-type Pokemon, Gligar's niche remains unique and can see play from time to time.
Ultra League
Use Gliscor instead as it can actually reach the CP cap.
Master League
Gligar would rather glide home than fight scary dragons and dinosaurs and whales in Master League. And scary beasts and things with bigger wings and stuff.
