Ash first met Gible in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]''. [[Wilma]] explained that Gible was trying his best to learn the move {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

Like {{AP|Torterra}} during its time as a {{p|Turtwig}}, Gible seems to enjoy latching onto Ash's head as well as other peoples' heads (at first, like Turtwig, it used to chomp onto Ash's and other people's heads but after a little while it seemed to just latch onto people's heads without actually hurting them). Later on, it showed its habit also included rocks and tree trunks, among other objects.

Gible also has the ability to devour almost any kind of metals, seen when Gible devoured two of Team Rocket's giant robots, and half of a city park. Ash also said in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'' that Gible can bite at anything, including moves. Despite appearing to be quite gutsy, it is not very bright and is slow to understand simple requests or orders; on one occasion, it chewed away a section of rock despite it falling into a creek as a result, and still chewed at the rock underwater not seeming to realize it could drown and had to be saved by {{AP|Buizel}}.

History

Gible biting on Ash's head

Ash first met Gible in A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!. Wilma explained that Gible was trying his best to learn the move Draco Meteor. But for some reason, the move always failed; instead of exploding in the sky, it always fell to the ground and hitting Piplup. Ash wanted to help the wild Gible learn Draco Meteor and achieve his dreams. It successfully used the move against Team Rocket, but failed again in his next attempt. By the end of the episode, Gible decided to start following Ash. Gible, with Ash's help, has tried to master using the move. Most of the time, the move fails and, in a recurring gag, accidentally hits Piplup, although it has been used on one occasion to find Piplup once the latter went missing, and on another occasion to differentiate it from another Piplup, which turned out to be a Ditto. Since the addition of Togekiss to Dawn's party, it became a recurrent gag that Togekiss would defend Piplup from Gible's slowly improving, but still failing, Draco Meteor and gracefully shoot it back to Gible and Ash. Eventually, Gible mastered Draco Meteor in Working on a Right Move!.

In Gotta Get a Gible!, Ash met with Gible again. Barry also was interested in catching him. However, Gible decided to let Ash capture him after he saw what Ash would do to protect him. After that, Barry demanded a battle with Ash and his new Gible and was able to defeat it with Empoleon.

Like Torterra during its time as a Turtwig, Gible seems to enjoy latching onto Ash's head as well as other peoples' heads (at first, like Turtwig, it used to chomp onto Ash's and other people's heads but after a little while it seemed to just latch onto people's heads without actually hurting them). Later on, he showed his habit also included rocks and tree trunks, among other objects. This also goes for thing that look like those, as seen when Gible started to bite on Conway's Shuckle, as though it were a rock. Gible also has the ability to devour almost any kind of metals, seen when Gible devoured two of Team Rocket's giant robots, and half of a city park. Ash also said in Working on a Right Move! that Gible can bite at anything, including moves. Despite appearing to be quite gutsy, he is not very bright and is slow to understand simple requests or orders; on one occasion, he chewed away a section of rock despite it falling into a creek as a result, and still chewed at the rock underwater not seeming to realize it could drown and had to be saved by Buizel.

Ash used Gible in Working on a Right Move! in his Lily of the Valley Conference battle against Conway. Gible was called in when Conway's Shuckle proved to be too strong for both Donphan and Noctowl. Gible managed to defeat Shuckle and perfect Draco Meteor at the same time. It was then briefly used against Lickilicky before being recalled. Finally, Gible was called out after Noctowl and Donphan fell to Dusknoir and after a tough battle, Gible defeated Dusknoir.

In The Semi-Final Frontier!, he appeared again in the semi-finals, to battle Tobias. Although he manages to hit Tobias's Darkrai with Rock Smash, Darkrai recovers almost immediately and uses Ice Beam on Gible. Gible dodges it and uses Draco Meteor back at Darkrai. Darkrai also dodged it and finished Gible with a Dark Pulse attack.

It is assumed that Ash left Gible at Professor Oak's Laboratory when he decided to go to Unova.
