It skulks in caves, and when prey or an enemy passes by, it leaps out and chomps them. The force of its attack sometimes chips its teeth.

Gible Weakness

Gible's Dragon/Ground typing leaves it vulnerable to Ice, Dragon, and Fairy. Ice hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Electric-type attacks completely.

Moves

The level-up pool is slim, so TMs matter here. Gible's coverage across 7 types all comes from technical machines, built on top of Draco Meteor and Outrage for same-type damage. Take Down and Dragon Rush are the payoff moves.
