Strategy Overview

  • Solid Attack and a good Speed tier make Gabite a dependable wallbreaker
  • Great offensive typing with near-perfect neutral coverage
  • Middling bulk and weakness to extremely common Pokemon such as Togetic and Piloswine prevent it from setting Stealth Rock reliably throughout a match
  • Lack of useful setup moves prevents it from breaking through physical walls without chip damage
