Legends: Arceus Gabite Best Moveset

The 50% bulk from Eviolite is no joke. Gabite takes hits that fully evolved Pokemon can't, especially with max Attack and Speed EVs pushing the physical side. Earthquake gives it offensive presence.

Moves

Gabite's movepool balances level-up moves with TM options. Consistent STAB comes from Draco Meteor and Outrage, and coverage across 7 types keeps opponents from switching in for free. No major gaps here.
