stone edge ( good physical and type coverge)
outrage (great physical attck holding Persim Berry )
and sword dance\sandstorm
sword dance (boosts attack)
sandstorm (its abilety is sand veil )

Ah, Chomper, one of my favs from Gen IV, a shining light in a horrible generation.
Those of you who down-vote/up-vote because of that comment, well... just don't.

Anyway!

Role: Sub Breaker

Garchomp (M) @ Muscle Band

Trait: Rough Skin

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd

Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)

  • Dual Chop

  • Hone Claws

  • Stone Edge

  • Earthquake

Replace dual chop with dragon rush and that would be one monstrous garchomp.

This is my mixed set of ninja skill:

Garchomp (M) @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Sand Veil
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Flamethrower
- Dragon Pulse
- Earthquake
- Brick Break

The Scarf makes it Super Fast, so it outruns every threat. EVs make it Mixed. Flamethrower is coverage against Ice Types, and also permanantly kills Ferrothorn, which is a pain in... well, it's a pain everywhere. D-Pulse is STAB, and covers Dragon Types that are super effective. Earthquake is STAB and makes this guy a killer. Brick Break is for Ice types that have high Special Defense, as well as breaking Screens.

Specs-chomp

Item: Choice-specs
Ability: Sand-veil
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252 S.Attack, 252 Speed, 6 hp


Dragon-pulse
Flamethrower
Earth-power
Draco-meteor/Hidden-power(Electric)


Choice-specs gives this guy 383 Attack, that is pretty good. Dragon-pulse is STAB. Flamethrower is necessary coverage over Ice and with Dragon-pulse is great coverage. Earth-power is STAB. Draco-meteor would be last chance for damage power while HP(Electric would be for more coverage.

I like the fact that your garchomp has high attack. If he has high special attack, mabe have flamethrower to go against ice because it is more powerful than stone edge or brick break, but those arn't bad either. If garchomp has alot of happines & you want a sweeper which garchomp wouldn't be bad at, then teach him dragon rush or outrage instead of dragon claw. Earthquake is really good with offensive pokemon (unlike shuckle) so it is a very good addition plus it gets STAB. If you feel you need a power up, try workup( if Sp attack is used or swords dance if only attack. It depends on your stategy, style of battling, preferences, & whom you are battling.

Good item- dragon fang if sweeping with dragon type move)/(if alot of hp only) life orb

If possible-

EVs 252 attack, 252speed, 4 hp or Sp attack

Ability- rough skin or if used in desert or something sand veil

Good partner- someone with sand stream or with fire & or dragon moves.

Nature- adamant (if not using flame thrower) naughty (if using flamethrower)

Oh no. Not Garchomp. Don't let me use my unbeatable beast in a battle. This is one of my favorite(not to mention the best there is)pokemon out there. I got my Garchomp (Vick) over the GTS at level 100... and let me tell you something, It is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to beat this insane beast. This Dragon and Ground pokemon has insane speed and attack stats. It is easily one of the top 3 Dragon pokemon out there.(Unfortunately Latios is probrably number one). The moves you need to teach it are the following:

  1. Fire Fang- This gets rid of the 4x weakness to ice.

  2. Dragon Rush- Although not good accuracy it has STAB and a total power of 150. (Beats using outrage because it attacks continuously and will confuse you)

  3. Stone Edge- Very High Critical hit ratio with it being strong against ice also.

  4. Earthquake- STAB. AND attacks all other pokemon on field without Levitate or being a flying type.

You could get rid of Fire Fang for Aqua Tail but you would have to do this in Heartgold or Soulsilver. You could also get rid of Stone Edge for Rock Slide which can make opponents flinch and attacks both opponents. The only way I have ever lost with my Garchomp is when it faces super fast Ice type pokemon, LATIOS >:-( or a strong pokemon with great defense like Snorlax.

Earthquake-why not
Hone claws-you'll see why in a moment
Dragon rush-yes,after one round of hone claws this has never missed yet.
Fire fang/brick break -coverage against ice

Super cool pokemon though it's not mi prefered powerhouse.

Adamant/Jolly Nature
Attack and Speed Ev training
Roughskin/Sand Veil (Depends on the kind of team you use)
Muscle Band Held Item

Dual Chop: STAB, more powerful than Dragon claw Ok accuracy.
Earthquake: STAB, why wouldn't someone teach it to him.
Fire Fang: Deals with weakness chance to burn or flinch and type coverage.
Stone Edge: Good power and type coverage.

Mine is used in mi sandstorm team making it hard to hit due to its ability, if you want to more annoying you can throw in a Double Team in his set.

Dual Chop and Dragon Claw are the same power.
Double Team is banned in most competitive play.
