Strategy Overview
Gabite is blessed with just enough good merits in all the right places to carve a niche for itself in PU. 82 Speed is perfect for outspeeding common wallbreakers like Stoutland, Shiftry, and Monferno. Ground typing is also highly sought after for the Electric immunity and resistance to Rock, and the combination of Ground and the rare Dragon typing means that Gabite isn't weak to the common Grass- and Water-type attacks in PU. STAB Earthquake with a secondary STAB option in Outrage makes for excellent coverage as well. However, Gabite finds itself commonly walled by tanks such as Bronzor and Torterra, and the lack of recovery mixed with only above-average bulk mean that Gabite can struggle to achieve its full potential in either an offensive or defensive capacity.
