Didn't even need to use my Palpitoad.

@amateraceon5202 10 месяцев назад

I think the coolest thing about Gigalith is that in Black and White, you could trade a Boldore for an Emolga, and then in BW2, you could go back to that same NPC and trade an Emolga for a Gigalith, providing one of the only ways to use a fully evolved trade evolution Pokémon in a solo playthrough

I think since gigalith learns a lot of charging moves like Solar Beam and Meteor Beam, it should have an Ability that let's it use charge-up and recharge moves immediately. Also give it Rock Wrecker.

Gigalith has always been my favorite of the super-strong super-defensive Rock types, both design-wise and stats-wise. It's also a shining example of why I think the Rock type has some of the best designed Pokemon.
