It lives in caves warmed by geothermal heat. Even so, when the weather gets cold, it will huddle close with others of its kind.

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.
