Research Notes - Gible
Sphyrna aeris
Garchomp are thought to share a common ancestor with the modern Sharpedo; though terrestrial and limbed, they do in fact have similarly-arranged scales, modified fins, and most importantly, cartilaginous skeletons. Members of the Gible line also shed their teeth periodically, much like Sharpedo. Fossils of what most scientists agree are likely the remnants of “proto-Gible” were also found in areas that would have bordered tropical seas in the past, further supporting this hypothesis. It is unknown why these Pokémon today dwell in hot, dry areas; though they may have left the water to hunt terrestrial prey, exactly why they abandoned the tropics remains a mystery.
Diet |
This line are carnivorous; Garchomp are apex predators that will hunt anything they find in their land, even swift bird Pokémon. They also have an affinity for Yache Berries, though they are hard to find in their natural habitats. Though Gabite hoard Carbink, they do not seem to prey on them.

Care |
These Pokémon can be difficult to raise, as they tend to be temperamental and a bit disobedient. They prefer warm, dry climates. Gabite in particular love shiny objects; coins and other trinkets are a good way to earn their affection. Gible are clumsy walkers that cannot travel far without stumbling; they like to hide in alcoves and wall indents. Conversely, Garchomp prefer wide open spaces where they can run and fly freely.

Caution |
To put it bluntly, these Pokémon are rather terrifying. Gible are the least threatening of the line, but even they will bite with little provocation. Territorial Gabite viciously defend their gem hoards from anyone that even comes moderately close to them. Garchomp are thankfully rare in the wild, but they are also very aggressive and can fly at Mach speeds. Yache Berries are very strongly advised when traveling through their territory.

Behavior |
Gible are territorial Pokémon. They dislike humans in their territory and will act aggressively towards them. They tend to fight when they sense danger. (2 / 2 / 1)
