Gigalith
Gigalith is a Rock-type Pokémon. The Gigalith Evolution presents a humongous blue Pokémon with bright red crystals projecting out from various places of its body, they glow orange whenever Gigalith summons its powers in its amazing Moveset to attack its opponents. This Pokémon has a physique that shares a resemblance with rocks and boulders and long, grey rocks attach their limbs to its body. It has two sharp crystals projecting from the side of its face and the ones projecting from the side of its mouth resemble tusks. After this bulky body and quite a good strength, Gigalith too holds weakness against some of the Pokemon.
Gigalith has immense strength of blowing away a mountain. This Pokémon can fire a ball of solar energy from its mouth as its crystals absorb solar energy. However, it becomes less powerful during rainfall and at night as it is unable to consume solar energy. This Pokémon is also known as the ‘Compressed Pokémon’. It is introduced in Generation 5.

How Much Useful Is My Gigalith?
Gigalith is a Rock-type Pokémon. It can resist Normal-type, Flying-type, Poison-type, and Fire-type Pokémon. However, it is vulnerable to fighting-type, ground-type, steel-type, water-type, and grass-type Pokémon. It has a great Attack and defence and a pretty good hit point. The best Moveset of Gigalith during Gym battles are SmackDown and Solar Beam.
Due to its great Attack stat, it makes for a decent suicide lead. Explosion and Stealth Rock a few of the main attacks of Gigalith. This Pokémon can take on Steel-type Pokémon, by using its Superpower move, however, on doing so its Attack stat decreases, and its Toxic move can be a surprise element of attack to physical walls, as Gigalith can deal damage more because of its immense strength. This Pokémon should stay away from Wartortle as it can easily take Gigalith’s attacks and is capable of beating Gigalith by exploiting its weakness. Its Stealth Rock move is capable of holding off Bulky Ground-type Pokémon, even though they are capable of beating Gigalith.
So, does the Moveset, weakness, and other information seem worthy of Gigalith Evolution? Then right away head to Gigalith Evolution.
And if the case is otherwise then you may like to see some other Pokemon Evolution rather than the one for Gigalith and can see for whatever Moveset, weakness, and other specification suits better. Visit Herald Journalism for that!
