Garchomp

If you're looking for the mascot of Battle Spot Singles, look no further than Garchomp! Garchomp is nearly omnipresent, as it offers an excellent offensive typing in Dragon / Ground, a great ability in Rough Skin that can make KOing physical threats much easier, and nearly perfect stat distribution that makes it fast, powerful, and difficult to OHKO. However, what truly makes Garchomp a force to be reckoned with is its insane versatility. Garchomp laughs at Item Clause, as its viable items go into the double digits. Garchomp's usable item pool and movepool make it an extremely customizable Pokemon for most teams and rather difficult to directly counter. Garchomp is fully capable of claiming victory for your team just because your opponent might not have correctly guessed what kind of Garchomp you are using.

Garchomp's only defining flaw is tied to its ubiquity: Garchomp is one of the most prepared-for Pokemon in Battle Spot Singles. Very few competent teams go without a game plan for Garchomp, so your Garchomp might be benched more often than you'd think. Overall though, Garchomp is extremely easy to fit in almost any team, and that quality makes it a true star of Battle Spot Singles!
