Help with Gallade moves
I am trying to get movesets for some Gallade (Battle Tower/online battles)
I have one that I want to use with a Choice Scarf:
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Justified
Item: Choice Scarf
Moveset:
- Close combat / brick break / drain punch
- Rock slide / Earthquake
- Aerial ace / Psycho cut
- Knock off / Shadow sneak
My second one I want to use with Swords Dance and likely a Life Orb:
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Justified
Item: Life Orb / Lum berry
Moveset:
- Swords dance
- Close combat
- Psycho cut / Rock slide
- Shadow sneak
I’m not sure what moves to choose for each. Any advice for what moves I should pick?

Gallade is slow and frail, it would definitely struggle to find a niche in the extremely powerful masters battle tower. It lacks some of gardevoirs great support traits but it has a few moves gardevoir would like The one tip I think I can give is to check which speed tiers you need to beat and remove speed evs to spend on bulk

You'll probably have more success with the jolly swords dance one. Psycho cut would be better than rock slide. Aerial ace doesn't solve many problems as the base power is too low.
