Gallade

[ThePlaya]

K i know the movesets im going to put in it already but im barely going to start ev training it.Its adamant(its still a ralts..Male)and im having trouble deciding where to put the evs in.So far for sure im going to max out its attack but im not sure where to put the remaining on.I was thinking to split them with speed and sp.defence evenly.Is that good?Or would you suggest something better?

There's also a Choice Scarf Gallade, but I don't know the exact build. Just pick whichever looks the most like your imagined Gallade.

Choice Scarf Gallade looks like this

Gallade-Choice Scarf
Adamant/Jolly 252 attack, 252 speed, 4 HP for Adamant, 252 attack, 40 HP 40 Defense for jolly
Close Combat
Stone Edge
Night Slash
LEaf Blade/Psycho Cut

252 attack, 252 speed, 4 HP for Adamant, 252 attack, 40 HP 40 Defense for jolly

What's the exact spread for Jolly? That spread has about 172 missing EVs. :P

 

[Azonic]

Gallade, once again is made for a semi-special-wall, not a pure sweeper.

 

[Faceless*]

Just because Smogon says so, and the ONLY reason behind that is Medicham. You say that, I dont know how many times I repeated this, Scarfcross and Scarfcario is useless. It's only saying the truth really

 

[Dark Azelf]

Gallade its really bulky it can take hits better than you think.


Its like BulkyDos and normal 252 / 252 / 6 Gyarados. Same with Gallade. One set is meant to be Bulky and one is meant to sweep. Its up to you which one you choose and which will benefit the team more.

Then use Gallade with Drain Punch after you taken down the Physical walls :P

Drain Punch ??

Why was that move even created ?....Its like a Physical Giga Drain....except worse lol

 

[Faceless*]

I honestly think it was for Will-o-Wisp Gallade =)

 

[ThePlaya]

i have drain punch on my gallade and its good:).It works for me becuase its a stab and does recover quiet a bit of life.I kind of prefer it over close combat.

 

[Eos Aduro]

Oops, fogot to stick 172 speed in that set XD. Drain Punch? Really? Close Combat + STAb power is 180, that can floor a lot of Pokemon, depends I guess, mine is full on attacking, I use it to cover Weavile a lot too.

 

[MewthreeXL]

I use Gallade withe Weavile,too.I also use Gallade in combination with Snorlax and Dragonite.IMO,use Gallade as a physical sweeper.

 

[Eos Aduro]

Um, duh. Only thing its good at dude, what else would it be, special wall?

 

[MewthreeXL]

I wasn't thinking while I was typing.

 

[Kayke™]

This is a bit irrelevant, but Leaf blade is kinda nice on Gallade. Takes down Swampert and Milotic with relative ease...but I don't know if it's worth using over Night Slash. Just a thought.

 

[Faceless*]

It's only worth using over Psycho Cut, Night Slash is a must for Close Combat sweeping.

 

[Eos Aduro]

Night Slash
Close Combat
Leaf Blade/Psycho Cut
Stone Edge

Basic all attacking set.

 

[deco11]

my gallade has

drain punch
psycho cut
leaf blade
x-scissor

is this a noob move set?

 

[sims796]

Yes. Yes it is. I won't give you a better one, its been done before.
