Gabite (Japanese: ガバイト Gabite) is a dual-type Dragon/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves from Gible starting at level 24 and evolves into Garchomp starting at level 48.

Biology

Physiology

Gabite are dark blue, with red underbellies that cover from the middle of their abdomens to the bottoms of their jaws, and the rest of their undersides being a light blue. Gabite have appendages that resemble jets or planes; its four fins, one on each arm, one on its back and another on its tail; horns that resemble jet/plane engines rest on their heads, each with a light blue stripe in the middle. It has spikes on its hind limbs, and sharp claws on its feet. Its eyes have black scleras and gold colored irises.

Gender differences

A male has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the female does not.

Special abilities

Gabite are fierce and predatory dragons, known for their scales that have medicinal properties and can heal most illnesses. Gabite have short, yet deadly sharp teeth, like their pre-evolution, Gible. They have been known to move at extreme speeds.

Behavior

Gabite are territorial creatures. To protect their homes, they will run at high speeds, slashing any enemies out of their way as they go. Gabite has a habit of digging up gems and hoarding them in its nest.

Habitat

Judging from its classification, it likely lives in warm caves much like its pre-evolution, Gible.

A Gabite appeared in Another One Gabites the Dust! under the ownership of a Coordinator named Ursula. It appeared again in a flashback in Old Rivals, New Tricks!, and has made various other appearances.

Other

Gabite made its debut appearance in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness. It was sick of others wanting to get its scales so it wants a fight in exchange for one now.

Minor appearances

Another Gabite appeared in An Old Family Blend!, under the ownership of an unknown Trainer.

A Gabite appeared in the opening scenes of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Trivia

Origin

Appearance-wise, Gabite seems like a cross between a European dragon and a shark; it may be based on the Landshark.

Name origin

Gabite may be a combination of がぶがぶ gabugabu (to gobble or gulp down) and bite. It may also derive from がぶりと gaburito (bite or chew) or がぶりと噛み付く gaburitokamitsuku (to sink one's teeth into).
