Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Triple Axel
- Earthquake / Knock Off
The chivalrous knight defends Psychic teams against special walls like Alolan Muk and Heatran and breaks through Steel's defensive core that its teams struggle against. Close Combat muscles past Dark- and Steel-types like Ting-Lu and Hisuian Goodra while also OHKOing Celesteela at +2 after Stealth Rock damage. Triple Axel targets Flying- and Dragon-types like the Landorus formes, Mandibuzz, and Dragonite. At +2, Earthquake shatters Gholdengo and Toxapex. Alternatively, Knock Off lets Mega Gallade remove items like Rocky Helmet from foes like Skarmory, making them easier to handle, and it helps against Slowbro. Tapu Lele partners well with Mega Gallade, threatening Mega Sableye and providing Psychic Terrain to block priority moves like Scizor's Bullet Punch and Bisharp's Sucker Punch while appreciating the removal of the aforementioned special walls. Choice Scarf Iron Boulder can eliminate opposing Choice Scarf users like Blacephalon and Meowscarada. In return, it benefits from Mega Gallade weakening or outright removing walls like Hippowdon. Slowbro and Jirachi provide safe entry to Mega Gallade and form a defensive backbone against physical and special attackers, respectively.
