Garchomp Moveset
I'm new to the whole competetive battling and am currently working on an ev trained team. How is this for a Garchomp moveset?
Garchomp @ Choice Band Physical Sweeper Nature : Adamant EVs: 255 ATK, 255 SPD - Crunch - Earthquake - Outrage - Fire Fang Any suggestions to make this moveset better? |

Naive Nature EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd, 6 Sp Atk or HP -Earthquake -Dragon Claw/Outrage -Stone Edge/Swords Dance/Crunch -Flamethrower/Fire Blast |

Make it Jolly, give it Fire Blast>>>>>>Fire Fang.
CB Outrages can 2HKO every non-resistant wall out there. |
lol, Jolly + Fire Blast = fail.
[email protected] Orb Trait: Sand Veil Nature: Naive EVs: 228 Attack / 28 SAttack / 252 Speed - Fire Blast - Dragon Claw - Earthquake - Swords Dance Swords Dance gives a better boost to Attack that Choice Band. |

Jolly [+ Speed - SAtk] Well, its not complete fail but Naive in general would be better.
And so far, I haven't heard of a predicting clause. SDchomp is better. |
Jolly and fire blast SO doesn't fail. My lovely adamant CBmence with no SAtk EVs packs quite a punch with fire blast, it needs almost no EVs, if any in SAtk.

OR this i love
[email protected] Scarf Lonely Nature 252 ATT / 224 SPEED / 34 DEF - Outrage - Stone Edge - Fire Blast - Earthquake Reaches 444 speed =) which = fantastic revenge killer.. |
I'm liking this for Garchomp lately:
Garchomp @ Life Orb Trait: Sand Veil EV: 252 Att / 252 Speed / 6 HP Nature: Jolly Swords Dance Dragon Claw Earthquake Fire Fang No, not Fire Blast. After one Swords Dance, you are doing an average of about 69% (I have the figures written down somewhere, too lazy to check) with Fire Fang, which is easily enough to make Skarm think twice about his next move. Obviously this OHKOs Forry/Scizor, puts a nice dent in Bronzong. EQ eats into those ScarfHeatran who thing they can be funny if you predict a switch in, Dragon Claw for general heavy damage against most other things, and does a nice number on the other dragons. |

You send in chomp Opponent withdraws pokemon. Opponent sends in Skarmory (Any GOOD skarmory user would do this) you use Swords Dance on the switch or hell even Fire Fang on the switch Skarm: Yay You use Fire Fang / Swords Dance next turn. Skarm: YAY ! Roar / Whirlwind time. Now with Fire Blast You send in chomp Opponent withdraws pokemon. Opponent sends in Skarmory (Any GOOD skarmory user would do this) You use Fire BLAST on the switch in Skarm: :( im 2hko'd so i dont have a chance to whirlwind you. End of the day Fire Fang does squat to physical walls |
I try to keep my Garchomp simple, and so far it works really well:
Garchomp @ Life Orb Jolly: 252. atk, 252. spd, 6 Hp. Dragon Claw Earthquake Substitute Swords Dance Dragon Claw and Earthquake can do neutral damage on almost every pokemon type out there... with the exception of skarmories (as an example) and other solid flying types. one of the main things I do is try and get a sub up (if I know I can't 1hko or suspect a switch)... having the sub up gives me a chance to swords dance.... now with the 2.5 attack boost (you know what from what), I have swept entire teams that weren't prepared for such a vicious force. The next Chomp I want to work on will still have a speed up nature, but I want to make it a mixed sweeper for that touch of Fire, mainly, and practically only, for Skarm counters. |
