Gabite is the middle stage of the Garchomp line, and while it isn't as flashy as its final evolution, it plays an important role in building a strong Dragon/Ground team. In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Gabite doesn't appear directly in the wild. This means players need to either evolve a Gible or trade for (or buy) a Gabite if they prefer to skip some leveling.

Below is a clear and simple guide on how to get Gabite, what to expect from it in battle, and a few tips if you're aiming to build a Garchomp later.

How to Get Gabite in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Basic Info

  • Pokedex: Lumiose #129
  • Type: Dragon/Ground
  • Evolution Line: Gible → Gabite (Level 24) → Garchomp (Level 48)
  • Height: 4'07”
  • Weight: 123.5 lbs
  • Trait: Gabite is known for digging and hoarding gems in its nest.

How to Get Gabite

1. Evolve Gible

This is the main method. 
Gible can be found in Wild Zone 8 after progressing through:

  • Main Mission 9: “Chase That Mysterious Pokemon!”

Gible is a rare spawn, so it may take some resetting:

  • Enter Wild Zone 8 → check central rocky area
  • If no Gible, rest at a bench or fast travel out and return
  • Repeat until one appears

Once you catch Gible, simply level it up to Level 24 to evolve it into Gabite. If you play regularly, you'll likely reach this level naturally while completing missions or exploring.

A small tip: If you feed Gible Exp. Candy (from quests or drops), you can evolve it even faster without heavy grinding.

2. Buy or Trade for Gabite

For players who want to skip the catching and leveling steps, trading with other players is an option. Some players prefer evolving multiple Gible and trading their extras.

If you want to get a Gabite instantly and ensure nature or shiny status, U4GM is a reliable place to buy Shiny Pokemon ZA, including Gabite. Available options usually include:

  • Standard Gabite
  • Shiny Gabite
  • Alpha Gabite
  • Alpha Shiny Gabite
  • Fully custom stats versions

This can be a shortcut if your goal is to build a strong team quickly or if you just really love Shiny Garchomp.

Gabite leans toward physical offense, with solid Speed. It's not extremely bulky, but it's fast enough to hit before many enemies. If you evolve it into Garchomp, these strengths become much more pronounced.

Should You Use Gabite?

Gabite is mostly a stepping stone to Garchomp—but that doesn't mean it's weak. It performs well in mid-game battles, especially when used against Electric-, Fire-, and Rock-type Pokemon.

If your plan is to use Garchomp long-term (which many players do), investing in Gabite makes complete sense.

Small Player Tip

If you're aiming for a Shiny Garchomp later, it's usually easier to start with a Shiny Gible or Gabite rather than hunting for one post-evolution. Evolving never changes shiny status, so it's a safe strategy.
