I've been looking for a legend (not a myth), and it's Gabite and its gifts! After a Scale Shot, it outruns faster threats like Frogadier, Drakloak, and Raboot. Gabite's Speed, stats, and typing force out top entry hazard setters like Tinkatuff and Glimmet and attackers like Monferno and Fraxure, making it an excellent Stealth Rock setter. After a Swords Dance, Gabite can overwhelm would-be checks like Quaxwell and Ivysaur. Faster revenge killers like Frogadier and Girafarig can put Gabite into the ground before it can attack; Tinkatuff can provide a defensive backbone to these threats while providing Thunder Wave and Knock Off support. Piloswine is its greatest offensive check, taking attacks with grace and firing back with powerful Ice-type STAB moves; Quaxwell and Fletchinder have the recovery and utility to force it out. Special wallbreakers like Girafarig and Hisuian Sliggoo collaborate with Gabite to overwhelm defensive titans like Dusclops and Dunsparce.
