Gible (Japanese: フカマル Fukamaru) is a dual-type Dragon/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Gabite starting at level 24, which evolves into Garchomp starting at level 48.

Biology

Gible is a small, bipedal dragon-like Pokémon that is primarily blue. It has a big mouth filled with sharp teeth, no neck, and arms that start at the outer edges of its jaws. A red underbelly stretches from its abdomen to the bottom of its jaw. Gible has two horns that resemble jet or plane engines, each with a light blue stripe in the middle. It has a single light blue stripe wrapping around its back. On top of its head is a dorsal fin, which has a notch on it for the male. Its dorsal fin is strong enough to carry a person. Gible appears to be a good digger, making deep holes for homes in caverns. It enjoys play-fighting with other members of its species. It has tremendously strong jaws that it uses to bite enemies. However, when biting, it often hurts itself because of clumsiness.

Trivia

• The Gible evolutionary line made its anime debuts in reverse order of evolution. Garchomp appeared first in Top-Down Training, Gabite appeared second in Another One Gabites the Dust!, and Gible appeared last in A Rivalry to Gible On!.

Origin

Appearance-wise, Gible seems like a cross between a European dragon and a shark. Gible and its evolved forms may also be a reference to the book After Man: A Zoology of the Future. One species mentioned is a type of land shark that lives in desert regions.

Name origin

Gible may be a combination of gobble or ground and nibble.

Fukamaru may be a combination of 鱶 fuka (shark) and 丸 maru (round; also a suffix in young boy's names), and may also play on 深まる fukamaru (to deepen, to become deep).
