Garganacl is one of the newest Pokémon found for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Its form is similar to a giant rocksalt ready to stomp its opponent with ease. Read on, and this guide will teach players what kind of Pokémon Garganacl is and where to find this rare species.

What is Garganacl in Pokémon Scarlet And Violet?

Garganacl is a Rock-type Pokémon that evolves from Naclstack and is the final form of Nacli. This Pokémon is a literal giant rock salt golem that other Pokemon would want to lick it. It has a move called Salt Cure, which inflicts 1/8 of the target’s maximum HP as damage per turn in addition to the damage dealt when it is used. If a Steel or Water type is affected by Salt Cure, the amount of damage per turn is doubled.

Since this Pokémon is a pure Rock-type, it is highly resistant to Normal, Flying, Poison, and Fire-Type moves, but it is weak to Fighting, Ground, Steel, Water, and Grass-Type Moves.
