Gible
Say it: GIB-ull
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Gible is the Land Shark Pokémon — Dragon and Ground before Gabite and Garchomp. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Garchomp — not a finished raid attacker. Dragon/Ground hits Fire, Electric, and other Dragons well; Ice hits it for 4×. Catch Gible from the wild, eggs, Community Day, or events, then evolve. Outrage belongs on Garchomp.
Say it: GIB-ull
Gible (#443) is a Dragon / Ground Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the baby stage of Garchomp. Trainers almost never power Gible for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Gabite/Garchomp (and Mega Garchomp). Against Gible, lead with Ice. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
