Gallade QC 0/2 GP 0/1

[TTK]

[OVERVIEW]
Gallade is one of PU's many great Fighting-type Pokemon, sporting the highest Attack stat in addition to its dual typing in Psychic, Gallade is able to uniquely check the common Poison-types in the tier such as Garbodor, Silvally-Poison and Weezing while also threatening out its fellow Fighting-types like Hitmontop and Scrafty. Gallade is able to boost its already great wallbreaking potential to even greater heights utilising Swords Dance which does a great job at breaking down common defensive Pokemon in the tier like Vaporeon and Palossand. Gallade is often fighting for a slot on teams as a Fighting-type with the likes of Toxicroak, who sports a higher speed tier and is able to hit on the physical and special side and also with Passimian, which is arguably the tier's most common scarfer. Gallade also suffers from low physical bulk and its lack of useful resistances means it has a hard time switching in safely.

[SET]
name: Swords Dance
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Close Combat
move 3: Zen Headbutt
move 4: Knock Off
item: Life Orb
ability: Justified
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]
Knock Off gives Gallade perfect coverage alongside its dual STABs and lets it hit opposing Psychic-type Pokemon such as Mesprit and Xatu. Gallade partners well with pokemon that are able to handle the Flying-type threats in the tier such as Archeops and Talonflame. Palossand is an example of this, being able to switch into these threats without much issue. In addition, Palossand can set up Stealth Rock which helps Gallade have an easier time wallbreaking and is valuable chip in order to beat things like Weezing quicker. Special attackers like Heliolisk and Charizard appreciate Gallade dealing with the special walls like Assault Vest Guzzlord and Gigalith. Heliolisk also threatens the Flying-types that force out Gallade like Scyther and Charizard checks certain Fairy-types like Whimsicott and Ribombee.

[OVERVIEW]
Gallade is one of PU's many great Fighting-type Pokemon, sporting the highest Attack stat in addition to its dual typing in Psychic, Gallade is able to uniquely check the common Poison-types in the tier such as Garbodor, Silvally-Poison and Weezing while also threatening out its fellow Fighting-types like Hitmontop and Scrafty this sentence is a huge problem. it's way too run-on, it doesn't really target the important features of gallade, half of it isn't worth a mention at all. I would split this up into two sentences and make sure to include that it's an extremely powerful wallbreaker at the cost of pretty much any defensive utility and good at beating poisons unlike other fighters but don't bother with stuff like it specifically having the highest attack stat or beating other fighting types. Gallade is able to boost its already great wallbreaking potential to even greater heights utilising Swords Dance which does a great job at breaking down common defensive Pokemon in the tier like Vaporeon and Palossand. Gallade is often fighting for a slot on teams as a Fighting-type don't need that with the likes of Toxicroak, who sports a higher speed tier and is able to hit on the physical and special side and also with Passimian, which is arguably the tier's most common scarfer saying it's the most common scarfer does zero to explain how they fight for a slot. one is a scarfer one is a breaker. I would compare gallade to Toxicroak and scrafty or hitmontop or something else and focus more on their actual defensive utility and access to decent priority. Gallade also suffers from low physical bulk and its lack of useful resistances means it has a hard time switching in safely or setting up a swords dance. it's also very frail and easy to revenge kill, all it can do is break things and immediately get forced out

Heliolisk also threatens the Flying-types that force out Gallade like Scyther and Charizard checks certain Fairy-types like Whimsicott and Ribombee. instead of this whole last sentence which is p much the same stuff we've seen before, talk about how Heliolisk (and other pivots) can get gallade in on stuff it wants to break rather than forcing it to risk hard switching in. Also name some sweepers or cleaners as partners that appreciate Gallade's breaking
