Ability: Inner Focus

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.

The chivalrous knight defends its team in NatDex Monotype! With a sky-high Attack stat, access to Swords Dance, and a Fighting typing, Mega Gallade becomes a fearsome wallbreaker and a valuable asset in the Dark and Steel matchups for Psychic teams(merge sentence 1 and 2 to one sentence Imo, its chivalrous, it defends psys against stinkies like Alolan Muk and breaks through steels core that bullies the type). Clase Combat muscles through Dark- and Steel-types like Ting-Lu and Hisuian Goodra while also OHKOing Celesteela at +2 after Stealth Rock damage. Triple Axel targets Flying-types like Gliscor and Dragonite (can mention it completes coverage too for dragon slaying. Mention mandibuzz and Landorus (annyoying) too). At +2, Earthquake shatters Gholdengo and Toxapex. Alternatively, Knock Off can be used threaten Slowbro (its not really for slowbro, cant maintain effective hit on ghold because ghold uses z moves. Say that it mainly removes items and it might help vs bro in a pinch) while also maintaining the super effective hit on Gholdengo, and it also lets Mega Gallade to remove items like Rocky Helmet from foes like Skarmory, making it easier to handle them. Tapu Lele makes an excellent partner for 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 Steel-types like Heatran and Celesteela. 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 and Slowbro.(You would have some free space here. Mention jirachi and or slowbro for giving it pivots and being the respective spa, atk walls for the type)
