Trivia
- Gigalith was first seen in a triple battle with teammates Reuniclus and Gothitelle against Blitzle, Darmanitan and Drilbur, during an Oha Suta episode which aired on June 27, 2010. It was not revealed in earnest until August 7, 2010.
- Gigalith is the only pure Rock-type third-stage Pokémon.
- Gigalith's evolutionary line shares similarities with Golem's family. Both of them are Template:Type2, learn Stealth Rock, Smack Down, Explosion, Stone Edge, and Rock Blast by level-up, first evolve at level 25, then reach the final evolutionary stage by trading.
Origin
It seems to be based on a crystal formation.
Name origin
Gigalith's English and Japanese names may have been derived from gigas, a term used to describe a race of earth-born giants in Greek mythology, and the Greek word lithos meaning "stone," used as the suffix -lith in English. It could also be derived from Goliath. The Japanese name may also be derived from "Gaia", the Greek goddess personifying the Earth.
