Strategy Overview
Garchomp is one of the most versatile and unpredictable Pokemon that Battle Spot Singles has to offer. Its awesome Attack and Speed stats let it viably use a wide variety of items, it has a great ability in Rough Skin, and good bulk makes predicting its item and moveset a deadly game. However, Garchomp is so common that most teams will have a gameplan for it, typically by exploting its 4x weakness to Ice-type attacks.
Below are some sample sets. These sets are likely to be standard, but they will be expanded upon and updated as the metagame progresses.
