Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Gible's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 1 Attack EV per KO for it. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
It nests in small, horizontal holes in cave walls. It pounces to catch prey that stray too close.
It once lived in the tropics. To avoid the cold, it lives in caves warmed by geothermal heat.
Gible Weakness
Gible's Dragon/Ground typing leaves it vulnerable to Ice and Dragon. Ice hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Electric-type attacks completely.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Ice |
| 2x (Weak) | Dragon |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Poison, Rock |
| 0x (Immune) | Electric |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
