Gible

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

Physiology
Gible appears to be based on a land shark and is even coldblooded. It can burrow through the earth as easily as a Sharpedo swims through water. It has an enormous mouth and strong jaws that allow it to chew through anything, and it appears to be able to digest anything. Male Gibles have a notch in their dorsal fin.

Behavior
Gible loves to bite anything, and that can be a painful for its trainer if the trainer gets bitten themselves. This habit of biting anything is probably instinctive, and very hard to train them to control their urges. It is a strong Pokémon in battle, but unfortunately it often hurts itself due to its own clumsiness.

Special abilities
Their scales have been known to cure most illnesses, even the ones thought to be incurable.

Evolution
Once Gible is raised to Level 24, it evolves into Gabite. When Gabite's level is raised to 48, it will then evolve into Garchomp.

Anime
Khoury captured a Gible once in A Rivalry To Gible On! while traveling with Ash and co. in Sinnoh. While Ash captured one in Gotta Get a Gible!. Gible, like May's Munchlax, has a massive appetite and eats pretty much everything it can chew. Also he is very relaxed and non-stressful most of the time. His Gible fought in the Sinnoh League against Tobias' Darkrai but lost. Iris caught a Gible in Blackthorn City after traveling with Ash and Cilan. Gible appeared multiple times in The Rise of Darkrai.

Origins
The name Gible may come from the words 'ground' and 'nibble'. Alternatively, Fukamaru may be a combination of 鱶 fuka, shark, and 丸 maru, round.
