Modest nature destroys it...adamant please, and scarf it. It is too slow w/o it. It is better as a support pokemon IMO, but that's what gardy's for, so meh.

EDIT: Post EVs please.

Yes, use it for STAB. Delicious...okay. What would be delicious would be an EV spread, but the moveset is looking fine so far. But yes, modest is suicide, end of story.

oh man i got modest i keep forgetting damn it thank you ^_^

Anti September 12th, 2007 3:48 PM

Uh, yes. Use adamant or jolly, I like adamant...gallade can WoW, hypnosis, and Twave too. You might wanna consider that.

No status effect moves!It should be an attacker.Why does it need a Choice Scarf on it?

[email protected]/Life Orb
Nature: Adamant
EV: 252 Attack/Speed
1. Psycho Cut
2. Night Slash
3. Close Combat
4. Thunderwave/Will-O-Wisp

Status Tank. I use that set and works well. Of course, ScarfLlade is very good as well.

Oh boy...you do realize gallade has 80 base speed? That is like blaziken, and always goes last to other sweepers it seems. Cscarf is for speed. And just ask Smarties, gallade doesn't have to be an attacker. I actually prefer it to have status moves, and I worked very effectively until I sold my Pearl game...but that's enough of that. Thunder Wave slows down the opponent to help your team (and gallade), WoW makes the foe's attack less than my dogs attack, and hypnosis is for getting those annoying foes to sleep...I'm not saying to use all three, but gallade can indeed work as a support pokemon.

It's sp.def is alright,but it's def is so low it doesn't seem like it will survive long enough to support a team,IMO.It seems to me support moves deny it of it's true purpose.

Anti September 13th, 2007 8:36 AM

No, that's what WoW is for, as well as EVs. And this I learned from Mullet a month or so back: Prediction answers that question. Yes, just switch in on something that carries special moves...and switch in, survive, and status up. You make a good point, but Gallade has a decent max HP (not too good, but above 300 I'm pretty sure) and has great special defense...you'd be surprised at the bulk Gallade can have. That being said, Scarfed Gallade DOES work, I just prefer the status machine.
