PLACE IN THE META: Gigalith should be a very good Rock-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. While it is more on the level of Golem than Rampardos or Tyranitar, statistically speaking, that does not mean it will be bad. And if it is blessed with Smack Down and Rock Slide, it will be a force to be reckoned with.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Gigalith:
  • Mud-Slap
  • ​Smack Down
​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Gigalith:
  • Earthquake
  • ​Flash Cannon
  • Rock Slide
  • Stone Edge

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Gigalith's movepool:
  • Explosion
  • Stomping Tantrum

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Gigalith gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! Keeping with the cave Pokémon theme, Woobat and Swoobat will be up next.
