~Dragon Claw/Outrage...recommend outrage
~fire fang

Or you can go fire blast for skarmory, a very nice option...in which case use some slightly different EVs and nature...I think Penguin posted them.

Okay, wow. Just wow. You actually thought I was serious about CB blissey? Wow...wow. Just wow. It was a joke...wow. Another wow. Yeah, never use CB blissey, it was a joke...I'll add one more wow.

Okay...
Garchomp-Focus Sash/Yache Berry
Hasty
Sand Veil
EV's:252 ATK/252 SPD/6 SPATK
-Earthquake
-Dragon Claw
-Sword Dance/Stone Edge
-Fire Blast

Fire Blast is mainly to counter Skarm and Forrestress, Sword Dance can give an extra boost, Stone Edge could work as a viable option for Ice types like Weavile, but Fire Blast also does that job, EQ and Dragon Claw are STAB.Focus Sash helps Garchomp pull of Sword Dance and Yache Berry weaken Ice types attacks and also helps Garchomp pull the SD.

I can't believe you fell for the Blissey thing.I gonna add that post to my sig.

I'm adding that to my sig too...if I knew how. That made me lol. For garchomp, the one berry...you posted it, yache or whatever, is a fine item...and substitute is another nice option for garchomp.

EDIT: Yeah, focus sash works too...

Ársa September 17th, 2007 2:40 AM

ummmmm, why would you have Fire Blast when you can have Fire Fang?

~M51

EDIT: Understood, for Skarmory, which has major Defense....but I would still rather Fire Fang...

Now you're turning into MKDS poke. =/

Garchomp @:Life Orb/Yache Berry
Trait: Sand Veil
Adamant/Jolly Nature
Fire Blast
Earthquake
Swords Dance
Dragon Claw/Outrage. Life Orb plus Jolly Nature is the way to go. But if you want him to get a Fire Blast in on Ice Types, who Ohko you otherwise, then Yache Berry is nice. Maybe Choice Scarf or Focus Sash could work too. He has a lot of novelty/orginallity sets, as most Ou Pokemon do.

Wow, real necessary there...I guess joking is against the rules here...was just kidding, just like CB blissey...now I can "wow" people are taking my "wow"s seriously...and what does MKDS have to do with this? You realize I posted a moveset? Speaking of which...

[email protected] sounds good...maybe that weird berry or lefties

~substitute
~swords dance
~EQ
~Outrage/Dragon Claw

Pretty much owns...if you can set it up right, the oposition will have a tough time taking you down...and it has tremendous coverage, but is walled by skarm bigtime. Garchomp is OU for a reason...

Well Mullac, Fire Blast is definitely a better option because Skarm/Steelix/Metagross has much lower Sp. Def than Def

and Itachi, that "wow" was necessary because I simply cant understand in ANY way of how anyone can even come near to considering Choice Band Blissey... it was a joke sand he completely misunderstands the dang foolproof joke

Always and Never September 17th, 2007 12:21 PM

Garchomp @ Choice Band
Jolly [+Spd, -SpAtk]
252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Fire Fang

Yeah, pretty much. Garchomp is one tough cookie with life orb+outrage...like Dnite. If you manage to SD up, and then use outrage...not much can stop you.

Dark Azelf September 17th, 2007 12:47 PM

name: Chain Chomp
[email protected] Orb
Naughty Nature
evs: 16 Atk / 240 Spd / 252 SpAtk
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast





Now ive never actually used this, but i got it from smogon, Swords Dance lures out physical walls such as Skarm or Foretress or Whatever, and they eat Life Orb'd Fire Blast or Draco Meteor, Earthquake is just for coverage and STAB. Only down side is this gets walled by Cresselia.



This Explains it better than me

if not use someone else's set, i just gave you this really to bring options to the table.

Why use SD if there's only one physical move? Try this:

[email protected] Belt/Leftovers
Jolly Nature
108 HP, 200 Speed, 202 Attack
Dragon Claw/Outrage
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Swords Dance

Swords Dance

But that's a variant of basic physical Garchomp, easily walled by Skarmory... the one Dark Azelf talked about is what's known as "Chain Chomp", although the nature is a bit off (can also depend on personal preference). Here's one of the scarier Garchomps I've seen:

Garchomp @ Left Orb
Naive Nature
EVs: 252 SpAtk, 252 Speed, 6 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake

Draco Meteor hurts bad no matter what, and works perfectly for this guy. He can easily Draco Meteor for a KO, and then Swords Dance to boost Earthquake, feeling no effect of the drop in Special Attack. Fire Blast is instant death to Skarmory, an Earthquake after one or two Swords Dances is most likely an OHKO, a 2KO at most to Blissey, and Draco Meteor is basically just there after Skarmory and Foretress are out of the way. Naive nature gives him max Speed, allowing him to outrun Jolly Electivire and company. The only thing worth redoing is Special Attack EVs: perhaps a bit less in Special Attack and a bit more in Attack. But being backed by Swords Dance, it's really not totally required. It should also be noted that while Cresselia does wall this set fairly well, she will still take a hefty chunk of damage from Draco Meteor.

Trust me folks, pure physical Garchomp is nothing compared to this bad boy. This one scares me, but with good prediction he can be taken down.

This is out there, and forgive me, thread maker, but I need to know this, and it could help you.

Draco Meteor has ALWAYS hurt my team. Can Brogong w/Light Screen wall Draco Meteor, from Chomp, Mence, and/or Nite?

A light screen Bronzong can wall Garchomp's Draco Meteor any day

Always and Never September 17th, 2007 4:05 PM

I despise Bronzong. One with levitate is the perfect killer for Garchomp.

Except of course, anything that's made of ice.
