Gallade

Gallade is a devastatingly powerful wallbreaker thanks to its strong STAB combination, excellent Attack stat, and solid coverage moves, which hit common physical walls such as Sandaconda and Doublade for super effective damage. With access to Shadow Sneak, it can pick off faster threats like Galarian Articuno and Whimsicott. Its STAB Close Combat is naturally strong in a tier with Rock- and Steel-types like Regirock and Togedemaru everywhere, and its Psychic-type STAB moves take on Fighting-resistant Pokemon like Comfey and Garbodor pretty well. With access to Swords Dance, Gallade can become even more powerful at the cost of losing coverage options. However, Gallade's Speed, while useful for outspeeding other slow wallbreakers like Centiskorch and Perrserker, is overall lackluster, and it relies heavily on ensuring faster foes like Ribombee and Sneasel are within Shadow Sneak range if it cannot survive a hit from them. Gallade's special bulk is decent, but its physical bulk is very subpar, which, combined with its few resistances and weaknesses to popular Fairy-, Flying-, and Ghost-type moves, leaves Gallade with little defensive utility. Finally, Gallade lacks recovery, and thus it gets quickly worn down by residual damage from entry hazards, Rocky Helmet, and stray hits.
