It skulks in caves, and when prey or an enemy passes by, it leaps out and chomps them. The force of its attack sometimes chips its teeth.

Gible's Dragon/Ground typing leaves it vulnerable to Ice, Dragon, and Fairy. Ice hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Electric-type attacks completely.
