Find Gible in Wayward Cave or Grand Underground hideaways in pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl. Evolve Gible into Garchomp at level 48.

  • To access Wayward Cave's basement: Earn the right to use HM Strength (after the 6th gym leader).
  • To find Gabite in Grand Underground hideaways: Obtain HM Waterfall (after the 8th gym leader).
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Finding Gible:
    • Wayward Cave Basement: Roam the basement area. Gible has a 15% encounter rate. You can use Dusk or Ultra Balls after weakening it. Note that Gible is a Ground-type, so it cannot be paralyzed with Thunder Wave.
  2. 2
    Grand Underground Hideaways (after 7th gym leader): Gible can appear in Fountainspring Cave, Riverbank Cave, and Still-Water Cavern. The quickest way to search is to repeatedly enter and exit a hideaway to refresh spawns. Save your game inside the hideaway once Gible appears, so you can reload if you accidentally faint it.
  3. 3
    Finding Gabite (alternative to catching Gible):
    • Grand Underground Hideaways (after 8th gym leader): Gabite can appear in Fountainspring Cave, Riverbank Cave, and Still-Water Cavern. Repeatedly enter and exit hideaways to refresh spawns. Save your game inside the hideaway once Gabite appears. Be wary of Dig if Gabite is Level 50+.
  4. 4
    Evolving to Garchomp:
    • Gible evolves into Gabite at Level 24.
  5. 5
    Gabite evolves into Garchomp at Level 48.
  6. 6
    If you caught Gible at Wayward Cave (starting at Level 15-17), keep it in your party to gain experience via the Exp. Share. After reaching the snowy area, obtain the Lucky Egg from the Grand Underground to speed up leveling.
  7. 7
    If you caught Gible or Gabite from the Grand Underground (starting at Level 40+), you are closer to evolving them into Garchomp.
  8. 8
    Alternatively, use Rare Candies on high-level Gible or Gabite.
Tips
  • Save your game inside a hideaway after a desired Pokémon appears to avoid losing it if you faint it.
  • The Lucky Egg found in the Grand Underground significantly speeds up the leveling process.
  • Gible cannot be paralyzed by Thunder Wave due to its Ground-typing.
