I’m
still looking for TRU Darkrai. If you are reading this and feel
like helping me out feel free to e-mail me. I’ll trade you well
for it. Same goes for Gamestop Deoxys. Thanks =)
Gallade
is not so different of Gardevoir, their stats are just
different. Gallade has a very cool type combination and its one
of my favorite Pokémon of this generation. Its attack and
special defense are good but unfortunately it should definitely
have more speed to be a lot better.
The
movesets for today are…
Phisical Sweeper.
Gallade@Salac
berry.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack), Jolly (+ Speed, -
Special attack).
EV’s: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP.
- Endure / Night slash
- Psyccho cut
- Close combat / Brick break
- Stone edge / Rock slide
Let Salac berry activate for that extra speed we need. Endure is
a good strategy, but if you find it difficult to use, then sweep
as much as you can hoping to earn that extra speed anytime.
Choice scarfer.
Gallade@Choice
scarf.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
EV’s: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP.
- Night slash / Leaf blade
- Psycho cut
- Close combat / Brick break
- Stone edge / Rock slide
Hit and
run, another good way to have that speed Gallade doesn’t have in
normal conditions.
Critical sweeper.
Gallade@Scope
lens.
Nature: Jolly (+ Speed, - Special attack).
EV’s: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP.
- Stone edge / Leaf blade
- Psycho cut
- Night slash
- Close combat / Brick break
With a
little luck, you will crush your foe with critical hits and a
good combination of types. It’s a great and fun moveset to use
if you feel lucky.
Swords dancer.
Gallade@Lum
berry.
Nature: Jolly (+ Speed, - Special attack).
EV’s: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP.
- Stone edge / Leaf blade / Night slash
- Psycho cut / Close combat
- Earthquake / Poison jab / Will-o-wisp / Thunder wave
- Swords dance
It is
hard to use swords dance with Gallade because its lack of speed,
but if you manage to do it predicting a switch or protecting
Gallade somehow, you will be unstoppable. A hard set, but very
effective.
Pros.
It is
capable of taking hits and cause great damage thanks to some
critical hits. If you manage to boost its speed, you will love
Gallade.
Counters.
Physical walls as Cresselia or Skarmory are pretty effective.
Otherwise use status affections as sleep or poison. Faster
physical sweepers may cause massive damage as well.
Bottom line.
We’ll
continue this alternate evolution series next week, sorry for
all these delays guys and girls…
Rating:
3.5/5
Hope
you enjoyed.
