Garganacl in Pokemon Survivor

Garganacl at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Garganacl has 115 HP, 93 speed and a 1.25x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is well above average, its speed is among the lowest on the roster and its attack is above average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 55.1, which puts it at rank 408 overall, rank 51 of 92 among Paldea Pokemon and rank 29 of 66 Rock-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Garganacl sits next to Gastrodon one place above it and Seviper one place below it.

Garganacl moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Garganacl starts every run with Rock Throw: a heavy boulder that pushes the enemy back.

The level-up cards can then offer 10 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 2 moves of its own type. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Rock moves: Rock Throw, Rock Slide

Weaknesses and resistances

Garganacl takes extra damage from Water (1.6x), Grass (1.6x), Fighting (1.6x), Ground (1.6x), and Steel (1.6x). It resists Normal (0.6x), Fire (0.6x), Poison (0.6x), and Flying (0.6x). The remaining 9 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Garganacl are the ones whose first type is Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, or Steel. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Rock moves do not hit harder just because Garganacl shares the type.

How to get Garganacl

Garganacl is part of the Paldea banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (6.5% for Epic) and then picks one of the 30 Epic Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Garganacl a 0.22% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 462 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 120 coins, or 360 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

Shiny Garganacl exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Garganacl as an enemy

Garganacl can show up as a regular enemy from 4:20 into the run (enemy tier 4 and 5). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is tank: it walks slowly but has 50% more HP, 20% more damage and 30% less speed than other enemies of its tier.

It is also strong enough to be picked as a boss: it can fill the minute 3 slot. Boss fights are laid out in the bosses guide. Its attack set would be a ground slam, a straight charge, falling danger zones, and a fan of beams.
