Black White Black 2 White 2 | It is said that when one runs at high speed, its wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees. |

Moon | The protuberances on its head serve as sensors. It can even detect distant prey. |
Ultra Sun | It flies at the speed of sound while searching for prey, and it has midair battles with Salamence as the two compete for food. |
Ultra Moon | Its fine scales don’t just reduce wind resistance—their sharp edges also cause injury to any opponent who attacks it. |
Sword | Garchomp makes its home in volcanic mountains. It flies through the sky as fast as a jet airplane, hunting down as much prey as it can. |
Shield | Garchomp is fast both underground and above. It can bring down prey and return to its den before its body has chilled from being outside. |
Mega Garchomp

---|---|

Ultra Sun | Its arms and wings melted into something like scythes. Mad with rage, it rampages on and on. |
Ultra Moon | Its disposition is more vicious than before its Mega Evolution. Garchomp carves its opponents up with the scythes on both arms. |
