Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this Pokémon, Gallade, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride figuring out the best way to use him. I started by just throwing him into battles, you know, seeing what sticks.
First off, I tried a bunch of different moves. Initially, I went with a full-on attacker build. I loaded him up with Confusion and Psychic, which I saw some people online saying was a good combo, and yeah, it hits hard. I mean, watching Gallade dish out that psychic damage was pretty satisfying. These moves have a decent DPS and a pretty good TDO too, but it felt like something was missing.

Then I started experimenting with his abilities. I messed around with Sharpness, thinking it would just make him an even better attacker, but I realized Gallade’s got more potential than just smashing things. I mean, sure, he’s good at it, but he can do more. I learned that he is pretty weak to Fairy, Flying, and Ghost types, so he was getting knocked out more than I liked.
I dug around some more and found out about Agility. The idea of boosting his speed sounded awesome. I gave it a shot, and wow, did it change the game. Suddenly, Gallade was outspeeding almost everything. It was like watching a different Pokémon. He could hit first and hit hard, and it really turned the tide in a lot of battles.
- Tried Confusion and Psychic for damage.
- Experimented with Sharpness for even more damage.
- Discovered Agility to boost speed and outpace opponents.
I also played around with items. I tried Focus Sash and Choice Scarf since I saw someone online mention that Gallade gets outsped easily. Focus Sash was cool because it let him survive a big hit, which was super useful against those Fairy and Flying types. Choice Scarf was also neat for making him even faster, but it locked him into one move, which wasn’t always ideal.
But here’s the thing, I realized Gallade isn’t just about attacking. He’s got some cool support moves too. I started using moves like Tailwind to support my whole team, and it made a huge difference. It’s like, instead of just being a heavy hitter, Gallade became a team player, helping everyone else shine too.
So, after all this experimenting, I think I’ve finally cracked the code for using Gallade. It’s not just about picking the “best” moveset, but about adapting to what your team needs and what you’re up against. You gotta be flexible, try different things, and not just stick to what everyone else is doing. I think I will continue to adjust Gallade’s strategy and try to discover more possibilities!
To wrap it up
Gallade’s a beast if you use him right. Just remember, it’s not all about the raw power. Speed, support, and the right item can make a huge difference. Keep experimenting, and you’ll find what works best for you!
