How good is Gallade in HG/SS?

I own a Gallade in HeartGold and I’ve used it to get all 8 Kanto badges. (Coincidentally, it’s only Lv. 46.) However, I fear that it might be an issue against Red. So exactly how good is Gallade in HeartGold?

Gallade isn’t that good. I would suggest using this instead.

Breloom @ toxic orbAbility: poison healEVs: 252 Spe- spore- focus punch- filler, probably rock slide- filler, probably seed bomb or substitute

Basically, this thing is good because it can learn a 100% accurate sleep move and use that sleep move to make focus punch more reliable. Gallade relies on close combat, which is weaker, lowers Gallade’s stats, and tastes much worse when served to party guests. Even when the opponent resists fighting, Breloom can still use spore to weaken it and help teammates finish it off. Just make sure your Shroomish knows spore before you evolve it.

Hi RobloxWhix,

The first thing I’ll tell you is, Gallade is a good Pokémon, but level 46 isway toolow to fight Red’s Pokémons, who are around level 80.

Anyway, here’s a nice move set you can use against Red.

NOTE :- The moveset that I’m going to give you isexclusivelyagainst Red, as the moves will have low PPs and are adapted only against his Pokémons.

GalladePhysical Sweeper

Level :- anything but around 80Held item :- Expert Belt

Close Combat- Red has 2 Pokémon against which fighting moves are super-effective,LaprasandSnorlax. With Gallade’s high attack, you’ll take both of them easily, but be careful of Snorlax’s Shadow ball and Crunch, which might cause harm to Gallade.

Psycho Cut- Psycho Cut will help you take out Venusaur, and hopefully you’ll land a critical hit :)

Stone Edge- With Stone Edge and Charizard’s great vulnerability to Rock-type moves, you’ll be able to take him out at one hit, if it hits.

Earthquake/Swords Dance- Earthquake will take out Pikachu easily, since light ball only improves his attack and Special attack, but not defense or Special Defense.

On the other hand, you might want to use Swords Dance on the turn Red sends Pikachu, so you can sweep the 4 other Pokémons he will send (Lapras, Snorlax, Venusaur and Charizard).

All the best to you!
