Alright thanks, mine happened to be jolly, so I'll go with the first one.
Question: where do you get a life orb?

bossman34 August 15th, 2007 4:19 PM

um im not sure. but theres no cost to it. i think i found it in a pokeball.

Shiraishi August 15th, 2007 5:58 PM

The stark mountain entrance. Gallade only works as a choice scarfer.

PyramidKingBrandon August 15th, 2007 6:51 PM

what do you mean by that?

Shiraishi August 15th, 2007 7:31 PM

The Life Orb is at the entrance to the stark mountain caves. Gallade is best as a choice scarfer because his speed sucks.

Azonic August 16th, 2007 7:03 AM

Gardevoir is just a special version of Gallade.

They both need a big speed boost to be useful.

Smarties-chan August 16th, 2007 7:25 AM

It makes me sad when people try to make Gallade a Medicham copy. =\ Medicham is a sweeper, Gallade is a supporting sweeper. End of story.

Gallade should be more like:

Gallade @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature
EVs spread in HP, Attack and Speed with the focus on HP and Attack

- Psycho Cut/Night Slash
- Close Combat
- Thunder Wave/Hypnosis/Will-o-Wisp
- Psycho Cut/Night Slash/Thunder Wave/Hypnosis/Will-o-Wisp

Yes, because Thunder Wave obviously isn't an option on a 125 base Sp.Defense Pokémon. =\ On the contrary to popular beliefs, Gallade can actually take a couple of hits (provided that they are special and not physical) and thus works fairly well as a supporter.

Let me guess, you're one of those people who thinks Gardevoir should be used as an Alakazam copy? The Gardevoir/Alakazam thing and Gallade/Medicham thing are the same. You just have to use the superior supporting capabilities of Gardevoir and Gallade instead of turning them into bad copies of Alakazam and Medicham. Gallade and Gardevoir can both learn 3 awesome status moves and yet people insist of making them sweep. Why? ._.

bossman34 August 16th, 2007 12:39 PM

is it possible to burn and put an oppenent to sleep at the same time?

Anti August 16th, 2007 12:49 PM

No, it isn't. filler filler

so in that moveset it would be psycho cut, close combat, night slahs, and a status inducer?

Always and Never August 16th, 2007 1:06 PM

What would be awesome SUPPORT Gallade EVs?

PyramidKingBrandon August 16th, 2007 1:12 PM

Yeah, I've noticed his speed sucks, so where do you get a choice scarf?

Anti August 16th, 2007 1:15 PM

They've said it a million times. Maybe thunder Wave or BPing speed would be a better option...

Always and Never August 16th, 2007 1:18 PM

I'd go with
-Psycho Cut
-Close Combat
-Thunder Wave
-Will-o-Wisp

That way, if you are facing a physical, you can kill their attack in half, and if you are facing a special that's faster, you can kill their speed. Plus Psycho Cut and Night Slash on the same moveset doesn't cover very much difference, plus Psycho cut gets STAB.
