It resists Dragon-type attacks, and can form a deadly offensive core with Garchomp. Fire Blast can be used to take a decent chunk out of Skarmory. What is Type Effectiveness? What are Natures? Garchomp's unique speed tier makes it a great candidate for Choice Scarf, letting it function as a physical revenge killer. Outrage and Earthquake are Garchomp's main STAB moves, and can hit a plethora of common Pokemon in the metagame for good damage even without a boost.
Stone Edge gives it great neutral coverage when paired with Earthquake, giving Garchomp the coveted "EdgeQuake" combo. It's last move is Fire Fang , which is an important coverage move that ensures Garchomp can hit Steel and Grass Pokemon.
We're using the standard EV spread here, with full investment on Speed and Attack so that Garchomp can hit fast and as hard as possible. We invest the remaining 4 EVs into Defense to round up Garchomp's respectable bulk. We're using Rough Skin for this build. Although it doesn't provide direct offensive bonus, it can break the opposing Pokemon's Focus Sash if they hit Garchomp with a contact move and allow the land shark to get a KO.
Garchomp's flagship set is set to shake up the Sword and Shield Metagame. It's great Dual STAB moves and access to powerful moves make it a force to be reckoned with and is a Pokemon that all teams must be prepared to face up against! Scale Shot hits 2 to 5 times, with each successful hit lowering Garchomp's defense by one stage but raising its speed by 1 stage.
This makes Garchomp very difficult to outspeed, especially if the move does the maximum 5 hits. It's last move is Fire Fang , which allows it to take out Steel and Grass-types. Life Orb , on the other hand, further boosts the power of its moves at the cost of some residual damage. Garchomp can forgo a coverage move and set up Stealth Rock. It has an advantage over other Stealth Rock setters as few Pokemon will risk switching into Garchomp.
Outrage and Earthquake are Garchomp's main STAB moves and both hit for a good amount of damage even without a boost due to its naturally high attack. Rock Tomb lowers the opposing Pokemon's speed and is a good move to use on a predicted switch. It's last move is Stealth Rock , which provides great chip damage that helps Garchomp's teammates net KOs. Focus Sash lets it set up Stealth Rock even if it gets hit by a super effective move that would otherwise KO it.
Garchomp's claim to fame is its great attacking stat and unique speed tier, which allows it to outrun many sweepers in the base speed range. Build 1 Answer I started a randomizer nuzlocke, and I have a question?

You guys should stop crying. It isn't that hard to take down. Focus sash, Ice shard weavile. Works every time. Joined: Mon Sep 17, am Posts: It outruns most Ubers, the only one's he don't outrun are Mewtwo and Arceus. I think In Ou many things outspeed him, in Ubers, many things outpower him. Regardless of how crap Garchomp would do in Ubers, if it's too strong for OU, shove it up into Ubers. An Pokemon isn't considered a Uber by owning everyone on Ubers Metagame ,He is considered a uber when he owns every thing else Let's make things clear.
Garchomp is no way too powerful for OU cos it doesn't own that much. I have absolutely no problem in dealing with it. Garchomp Fails in the Uber Aspect because it can't really own as much as the other Ubers can. It's stopped very soon once it fails to 1HKO someone.
As is all other OU Sweepers. And there are plenty of cases like that because Garchomp's movepool isn't that great and it can often only rely on STAB powered moves which don't KO other Pokemon as well as Super Effective attacks.
Uber pokemon like Mewtwo and the Lati twins are Uber because they have Godly Stats along the ability to deal Super Effective attacks most of the time. Garchomps may have near Godly stats but they don't have the movepools to back it up. Well the way I see it is that Garchomp is gonna take down a few Pokes before it goes down itself. When I thought of how to stop it, I was thinking Avalanche. Once more, it seems that I have to post This Video in order to promote my feelings regarding this beast.
But this outcome would have been different if there wasn't Sandstorm support, if SR wasn't up, if my Flygon had complete health AND if I hadn't make the terrible mistake of letting him settle with sub and a SD.
In other words, Garchomp is nice if it has one or another means of support behind him namely S-Storm or SD just like any other good not even OU pkmn, the trick is to know him very well, to have a switch in ready and to consider it as one of the most deadly yet predictable threats in OU. Again: having Garchomp dominate OU means that the maximum size a team can be is five critters. And that's assuming your assassin can take care of itself without needing backup of its own.
Having a slot taken up by the practical requirement of an assassin which is keyed toward a single pokemon - that is to say, if it can handle anything else as easily, it's not necessarily due to elegance of design - changes the demeanor of the entire team. The obvious examples are specialty teams like weather abusers, but every team is hindered in the long run by being forced to carry such a narrowly-focused critter around.
Alton Brown of "Good Eats" taught us that single-operation kitchen equipment is bad, save for the fire extinguisher. And like a fire extinguisher, you don't carry a narrow assassin pokemon around with you all the time just in case a fire breaks out wherever you go.

I just don't think that's a big deal. I mean, in all honesty I've been screwed over by a garchomp before, but I really don't think it's all that big a deal. It's great for countering and applying pressure, but I generally don't lose to the same chomp twice.
And each version on it's own is not a big deal. His electric immunity is pretty balanced by his ice weakness and the habit of ice to be on the same moveset as electric. Sandveil I find annoying, I mean sandstream has enough going for it already, but it hasn't caused any trouble. Lots of pokemon have movesets that can always do at least neutral damage. It's not that hard to get, Garchomp just has a very nice one. Haveing a "top 15 OU" teir is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard. In my life.
To TOW: Yes, weavile is not a direct counter, he must revenge. Gyarados can work, sans stone edge. Intimidate lowers chomps attack. Joined: Mon Nov 05, am Posts: Joined: Sun Nov 05, pm Posts: Page 1 of 3.
