I was before going to say that Gallada is a lesser Gengar clone (basically, Gallade is a bad Pokemon to use), but now that I look at it, Gallade only needs 248 EVs in HP and Defense to cover all his bad stats, as his Special Defense is quite good, along with his speed. If you fight in the Battle Frontier, you should try reading up on Bulbapedia and Smogon on it, as it reveals a lot about the Battle Frontier.

I previously fought in the Battle Frontier so that I could get the Power Items (look like a cylinder, comes in 6 colours), but it was only later I found how sadistic the actual system was. All Pokemon have insane stats, which allows them to lose around 45% of health per super effective move. Even Pokemon with low stats inflict massive damage. Chansey, with an Attack Base Stat of 5, inflicted 19 damage on my Raikou. 19 damage is horrendous for something with such low attack.

And the worst part, the game decides the team you fight based of your team's weaknesses. Thus, if you have a Snorlax, you may fight a Hitmonlee. Another bad part as how some Pokemon pack a move you wouldn't even think they have, and it is because of this you can easily lose. I switched in a Water/Ground Pokemon to take care of Torkoal, and upon beating it, a Grumpig came in. I was about to Earthquake when it suddenly used Grass Knot, murdering me completely, this being similar to the Octillery using Flamethrower.
