Anyone know the values they're scaled to?

Anyway, what's Kaiju No. 9's behaviour like?
Like almost every Pokemon, a Gible is a very versatile Pokemon, but without proper training, it'll often be hindered by its characterization.

Spoiler: Pokedex Entries Quoted Verbatim

It nests in small, horizontal holes in cave walls. It pounces to catch prey that stray too close.
It attacks using its huge mouth. While its attacks are powerful, it hurts itself out of clumsiness, too.
It nests in horizontal holes warmed by geothermal heat. Foes who get too close can expect to be pounced on and bitten.
It lives in caves warmed by geothermal heat. Even so, when the weather gets cold, it will huddle close with others of its kind.
It skulks in caves, and when prey or an enemy passes by, it leaps out and chomps them. The force of its attack sometimes chips its teeth.
It reacts to anything that moves—flies right at it and bites it. Sometimes it injures itself, but it doesn’t care too much.
Gible prefers to stay in narrow holes in the sides of caves heated by geothermal energy. This way, Gible can stay warm even during a blizzard.
Gible attacks anything that moves, and it drags whatever it catches into the crevice that is its lair. Despite the big mouth, Gible’s stomach is small.

Meaning, odds are, if Kaiju No. 9 is of a remotely similar size to Gible (About 70 cm.), Gible will almost certainly try to act in its default predatory role: Go flying at Kaiju No. 9 -IDK if literally or otherwise- & start biting &/or pouncing, even though its stomach probably can't fit as much of Kaiju No. 9 as Gible will bite off.

As far as I can tell, this makes Gible's most likely moves: Tackle, Bite, Dig, Take Down, Dragon Rush, & from among its Egg Moves, Body Slam, Double-Edge, Iron Head, Outrage, Rock Climb, & MAYBE Thrash (Egg Move), unless maybe it's given reason to NOT think of Kaiju No. 9 as prey, & even then, it's still a little unclear about how it attacks other than pouncing & biting, & being clumsy & sometimes hurting itself doing so.

Meanwhile, Kaiju No. 9 in the Post-Molt Key has Mid-High. Reactive Evolution, Analytical Prediction & Reactive Power Level, & outranges Gible's "Standard melee range to hundreds of meters" with " Up to Kilometers (Stated to have extended his range well past his previous limit and is able to extend his power this far)".
It also has all its Base Key's abilities, enhanced.
Plus the Biological Absorption (He is able to transform into anyone he's consumed and gain accessed to their memories & Air Manipulation (Can fire air projectiles[11])

In theory, could Kaiju No. 9 copy Gible by biting a piece of it off? Would Gible's Rough Skin Ability deter this?



TL;DR - Gible's default is being a predator that is clumsy, prone to hurting itself with its attacks, & which reacts to anything that moves by "flying right at it" & biting it &/or pouncing, meaning when In-Character, it uses a lot of lackluster moves, & not even well at that.
Meanwhile, Kaiju No. 9 has Mid-High Regen, outranges, & has a bunch of adaptational abilities.

If this isn't a Hax/Skill Stomp, it's probably a Regen stomp unless both Kaiju No. 9's Base AND enhanced-from-base/Post-Molting Regen are too slow to be combat applicable.
Maybe Gible has a really huge Statistics Advantage? But even that might not be able to save it here.

Anyone know the values they're scaled to?

Kaiju No. 9 is scaling >>550 Tons while Gible I think is scaling to Rhyhorn, who is 647.65 Tons

Anyway, what's Kaiju No. 9's behaviour like?

Kaiju No. 9 is described to be akin to a virus. As he engages other people, he keeps learning and changing in response. So he try to figure out his opponent's fighting style before adapting and evolving.

In theory, could Kaiju No. 9 copy Gible by biting a piece of it off? Would Gible's Rough Skin Ability deter this?

I do not know. I think he have to consume the whole entire body and not just a piece

 

[Imaginym]

Sounds like it's still very lopsided, if not stompish, in Kaiju No. 9's favor.

 

[KobsterHope07]

That sucks

 

[Imaginym]

That sucks

Yeah, kinda does. One option might be to "Bloodlust" Gible, since that'll mean it'll be fighting optimally, but I might wait for more user input.
Sorry about me being so slow to reply; I saw this several days ago before I had posted, BTW.

 

[Armorchompy]

seems a lil' stompy. Also bloodlusting Gible wouldn't remove its relative incompetency.

 

[KobsterHope07]

I guess this can be closed due to being stompy

 

[Armorchompy]

Sure. Do you want me to?

 

[KobsterHope07]

Sure. Do you want me to?

I guess we can keep it open in case someone want to come and say something

 

[Starter_Pack]

I agree with Imaginym with a lot of this. I just don't think Gible is a good opponent for KN9.

Now, Bellsprout, on the other hand...
