What Fighting Type Move is best for Gallade in Pokemon X?

I am having trouble picking the best Fighting type move for my Gallade. This is a causal playthrough. I am about to go into the Team Flare Base in Geosenge Town. (Right after the 7th gym) I don’t know if I should use Close Combat or Brick Break or any other good move. The moveset for the Gallade is:

Gallade @ Mind Plate- Psycho Cut- Leaf Blade- Swords Dance- (Best Fighting type move)

Thanks!

Since Brute force is the way to go in-game, I’d say that Close Combat is the move of choice for you here. Although you have the Defenses drop, it won’t matter after a Swords Dance. Because of this result of a OHKO after a +2 Close Combat, I’d say this is the best move for Gallade.

Due to the number of Trainers present in Team Flare’s Hideout, Victory Road, and the Pokemon League,Brick Breakputs up a strong case for being better than Close Combat. In-game, consider the route-clearing potential of each move, not just their base power – while Close Combat is stronger, its 5 PP are too few to be effective long-term. In addition, the TM for Brick Break is available slightly earlier in the game than the level Gallade gets Close Combat, making it a more reliable move long-term. With STAB and Gallade’s high Attack stat, Brick Break does a sufficient amount of damage, and is objectively superior to Close Combat in terms of clearing dungeons.
