In-Depth Analysis
Gallade's 518 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Attack (125) carries most matchups, but a low Defense stat of 65 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Psychic, Fighting combination gives Gallade 2 resistances and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 7 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Gallade a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
