The Gigalith Database

  In the recent Japanese set Peerless Fighters, we got cards for the Gigalith line. They were not in the international set Chilling Reign, but we now know that they will be available in other languages in the set Evolving Skies that will be out on  August 27. That's a good new for Gigalith fans ! Pictures come from Pokellector

 The wordlwide list for the Chilling Reign set of the TCG recently dropped and contrarily to what me and many other people expected, the Gigalith line cards from the Japanese set Peerless Fighters are not there. I modified the article where I said these cards were going to be in Chilling Reign. Maybe we can hope to see them in evolving skies ?

 I draw Gigalith a lot ! Here are some of my drawings : My first digital drawing of a Gigalith, made in 2017 with Colors 3D Gigalith wants hugs ! Made in 2020 with PaintToolSai A Sandstorm Duo ! Made in 2020 with PaintToolSai Detective Gigalith ! Made in 2020 with PaintToolSai A small bean Gigalith made in 2020 with PaintToolSai I drew digitally over an existing Gigalith card. Made in 2021 with Ibis Paint X This is a drawing of a Gigalith I used in a Gigalith-only X playthrough. He was holding a Rocky Helmet most of the time, so I drew him with one. I got very attached to this Gigalith ! Made in 2020 with PaintToolSai Tower of rocks ! Made in 2020 with Ibis Paint X A chibi drawing of my Pokesona. She has two colour schemes.

  This Boldore is offensive and can assist its team with Stealth Rock. Rock Blast can pass through Substitutes, Focus Sashes and Sturdy. Earthquake allows to hit more Pokemon. Toxic can reduce the staying power of the opponent's stallers. With the Eviolite, Boldore will take physical hits well.  However, be wary of Boldore's low Speed, weaknesses and lack of recovery. Be wary of Knock Off too. Variants - Use Stone Edge over Rock Blast. - Use Superpower or Explosion over Toxic. - You can also try to use Boldore more defensively, but its lack of recovery and weaknesses are a problem.

  This Roggenrola will support its team with Stealth Rock, Sturdy and the Berry Juice makes it easier. It's an offensive support, Rock Blast can pass through Sturdy, Substitutes and Focus Sashes. With Earthquake, it forms an EdgeQuake move core that can hit a lot of Pokemon. However, be wary to its low Speed and Special Defense, and its five weaknesses. Variants -Use Endure, Protect or Explosion over Body Press. Endure will allow Roggenrola to take a hit even if it doesn't have all its HP, and the Berry Juice will be activated. -Use Stone Edge or Rock Tomb over Rock Blast. -Use its Ability Weak Armor.

  This Gigalith has an advantage over the others : it can heal itself. With Curse, it will raise its Attack and Defense stats and can become hard to knock out. That will make it loose Speed, but that's not a very big problem as Gigalith is already very slow. When you feel the need to heal, use Rest. Sleep Talk is here to not stay inactive during the two turns of sleep, it will be able to set up or attack with Stone Edge. However, this set can be a bit hard to set up because of Gigalith's weaknesses, its counters should be knocked out before. Also, you can't control what your Gigalith will do when you use Sleep Talk. In the worst cases, it could use Rest although it's already sleeping, which will make it fail and you will basically loose a turn ! And, be wary of Stone Edge's low PP, when they run out, Gigalith won't have any way to do damage. Variants -Use a more offensive EV spread. -Replace Curse with Earthquake. -Use another item, for example a Lum Berry to sk

  This Gigalith, with the Choice Band and its 135 Attack base stat, is made to hit hard. It's a regular Bulky Band set, with four offensive moves. This time, I chose Superpower over Body Press as the goal is to make the more damage possible. Be wary of its lack of recovery, weaknesses and very low speed. Also, it can be easily manageable for the opponent once it's locked on a move. This Gigalith doesn't have Stealth Rock, so having a partner with it could be good. Variants - Replace Iron Head by Heavy Slam - Replace Superpower by Body Press if you don't want to lose attack and defense, but it will hit less hard.  - Use it with Throat Chop
