Besides, why would you not like to take advantage of that massive Special Defense and awesome support movepool? Gallade isn't meant to be a pure attacker. Oh, and about your Garchomp comment, it won't be happy when you predict the switch and Will-o-Wisp it instead. Imo, choice items are a huge waste of Gallade's potential. It isn't completely horrible as a Choice attacker, but the only thing it truly excels at is crippling your opponent's sweepers.
Gallade does NOT learn Will-o-Wisp at all. Gallade is a Heracross with more support moves. It also has Psycho Cut for Weezing, the ugliest Physical wall for my opinion. Leaf Blade should, like you said, ONLY be used if you don't have a Grass attack in your team. Choice Gallade can be easily used if you take down the opponents Physical Walls. After laying about 2 Thunder Waves and crippling the opponent's sweepers, what are you going to do when a Cleric comes out?

Since it's my opinion and your opinion, we'll keep it to ourselves :)

Medicham learns Psycho Cut too and hurts Weezing harder. Also, Will-o-Wisp has been on Ralts' egg move list since Ruby and Sapphire and is now also available in TM form so please explain how it's impossible to get a Gallade with Will-o-Wisp?

Just the impossible has broken out of me, It DOESN'T learn it as a TM, but it learns it as a Breeding egg move... that is strange

Well, that DOES mean that Medicham is better than both Scarf Lucario and Scarf Heracross >_> Pure Power makes Medicham's attack go even higher than Rampardos! XD

Nonetheless, I'm convinced, just the experience I never had with Gallade

I think Flamethrower will be helpful than Fire Blast due to accuracy. Then again...I'm not sure if Fire Blast can kill Skarm with one attack.

Salamence @ Choice Specs
Trait: Intimidate
Modest Nature (+Special Attack -Attack)
- Hydro Pump
- Flamethrower
- Draco Meteor
- Dragon Pulse. Lum Berry look's novelty to me on Mence.

Imo Fire Blast > Flamethrower and you may want to put a Life Orb on that

with Life Orb Fire Blast does:

HP Damage: 330 - 388
Damage: 98.80% - 116.17%

Without Life Orb Fire Blast does

Damage Damage: 254 - 298
Damage: 76.05% - 89.22%

this is on max EV'd HP / 0 Evs in special defense Skarmory

so id say just put Life Orb on it so you can at least get an extremely good chance of a OHKO on it.
