Strategy Overview

With a fantastic base 135 Attack stat, decent 85 / 130 / 70 defenses, and low base 25 Speed, Gigalith is an amazing Pokemon for Trick Room, one of the dominant strategies of the VGC metagame. Gigalith also has a great ability in Sturdy, acting as a free Focus Sash. However, Gigalith has a grand total of five weaknesses, three of them are some of the most used offensive types in VGC. Gigalith also has a shallow movepool, making it very predictable. Despite this, Gigalith is a Pokemon you should give serious consideration to when building a Trick Room team.
