Gallade's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Gallade PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Gallade is a mediocre raid attacker in both Fighting and Psychic type departments, simply because of its modest attack stat of 237 and competition with elite raid attackers like Blaziken, Conkeldurr, Mewtwo and other Mega evolutions, including Mega Gallade.

  • Fast Attacks: Charm, Low Kick, Psycho Cut and Confusion: Gallade’s Fast Attacks. Gallade learns a variety of fast attacks but Confusion is the go-to move for raids.
  • Charged Attacks: Close Combat, Leaf Blade, Sacred Sword, Psychic and Synchronoise: Gallade’s Charged Attacks. Close Combat, Sacred Sword and Leaf Blade are strong charged attacks, but in the case of Gallade, they have more utility in PvP than PvE. Synchronoise, despite being a legacy move, is an inferior version of Psychic.

🛡️ Gyms

It melts to Charm and can't take hits in general. 🫠

Gallade PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

With stats inclined towards offense, Gallade is extremely fragile in the Great League, though it can do some quick and serious damage with Psycho Cut, Leaf Blade, and Sacred Sword. Not too great, but a legitimate threat nonetheless. 😈

🟡 Ultra League

Gallade’s absolutely spectacular moveset of Psycho Cut, Leaf Blade, and Sacred Sword makes it a scary Pokémon to face, especially with shield or energy advantage. 😌

Sadly, its fellow Leaf Blade user, the Legendary Virizion, and even its Shadow variant proves to be better overall. 😮‍💨 It loses most match-ups but can still leave a dent in the opposition's armor in those cases. 🤐

🟣 Master League

Gallade is slayed in the Master League. Big time. 😭
