I know this is probably the most common moveset, but could someone give me a Garchomp moveset? Thx.

Garchomp should have this
[email protected]/life orb Adamant/Jolly 252att 252speed 6hp -substitute/fire fang -sword dance -dragon claw -earthquake that's the best garchomp. after sword dance dragon claw is just absolutely scary. |

for the most part Dragon claw does a lot of neutral damage to a lot of pokemon.. if you were to put lifeorb and swords dance on him they would be dead so quick, specially if u subsituted him and did the swords dance he would be pretty untouchable.. I am looking to put a moveset on my garchomp I really like the one you posted but I really want a dark move like crunch along with swords dance, yet I want subsitute too and swords dance.. Earthquake, I already used the TM on my sceptile I know I can get another one at battle tower but I dont feel like spending the day in there to get enough points to get EQ.. any input would be appreciated thanks.. |
You're out of luck dude. you say you want sword dance and substitute, then you have no room for crunch. if you give up substitute then you can actually fit fire fang in there for skarmory, but there's no room for crunch.
Why do you even need crunch? Dragon Claw gets stab and hits ghost types hard. Dragon+Ground/Fire covers all types of pokemon since only Steel types resist Dragon but steel types fall to ground. Skarmory, however, is resistant to ground which is why fire fang is an option on garchomp. if you care more about having a "cool" moveset than a "good" moveset, then sure, use crunch, but as you stated in your original post, dragon claw already hits everything hard. |
only reason I wanted crunch is to counter psychic... I feel like id be able to take out a mewtwo with one crunch..
Edit:: For now Ill probably do Substitute Swords Dance Dragon Claw Fire Fang Earth quake would be valueable but I dont have a TM for it and until I get enough BP I will probably take out substitute. |
Garchomp @ Choice Band
252 Attack/ 252 Speed/ 4 HP Jolly / Adamant. -OUTRAGE -Earthquake -Stone Edge -Fire Fang |

and what? who puts a garchomp against a mewtwo? mewtwo is uber. |
Will this Garchomp stand up to a DD mence? Cuz my DD mence w/ focus sash seems to kill most Garchomps :/
|
if stealth rock is in play, i don't see how salamence stands a chance against garchomp. stealth rock ruins focus sash and hurts salamence pretty bad, so even after intimidate garchomp can still outspeed it and go for the KO with dragon claw. i guess you've been lucky you haven't run into stealth rock.
|
Choice Chomp is more efficient in sweeping. I mean Outrage, is only weak against steel, so that would be the best way to use him.

well, if you can pull off rapid spin before you switch in salamence then good for you. garchomp is more OU than salamence in 4th gen with good reason, and stealth rock definitely plays a part. comparison aside though, garchomp is quite the beast.

Garchomp
Item : Focus Sash Moves: Outrage Swords Dance Earthquake Stone Edge Make sure you runa Rapid-Spinner with this moveset I found out that FIre Fang deals almost the same damage as a STABBED Outrage >.> |
Fire Fang will always do squat to Skarmory, even after a Swords Dance. Samson introduced me to this moveset, and it happens to be one of the best:
Garchomp @ Life Orb/Leftovers Naive Nature (+Speed, -SpDef) EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Attack - Earthquake - Dragon Claw/Outrage - Swords Dance - Fire Blast Most Special attacks Garchomp doesn't resist will put a hefty dent in him either way (and any decent Ice attack will OHKO him), so Naive gives him the max Speed to outrun things he needs to, like Jolly Electivire, and allows you to get the full potential of Fire Blast, which is basically a 2KO against Skarmory. I wouldn't totally recommend Outrage, since Swords Dance gives it the same, if not more power, minus the confusion. Without Fire Blast, Skarmory walls him no matter what, even with Fire Fang. If Skarmory is down to about 50% HP, Fire Blast from this bad boy will likely KO. Oh, and Fire Blast also takes care of Tangrowth, who I've been finding extremely annoying lately, and would otherwise take damage from Garchomp without a problem. And coming from a guy who uses Skarmory, this moveset scares me, because Garchomp threatens to sweep at any given time. After a single Swords Dance, Earthquake is an OHKO on Blissey, and everyone knows how truly difficult it is to completely OHKO Blissey like that without a Fighting attack. |

2. How exactly does a Fire Fang, an attack of a base power of 65, deal the same damage as Outrage, which has a base power of 120 before applying the STAB. |
Quote:
Fire Blast is a special move man.... |
Did you even read what he said? Fire Blast is the most basic Skarmory counter.

Quote:
I just finished my garchomp it maxed out at 340 attack and like 180 special (then again I have jolly nature) I dont think I am gonna put fire blast on him... |
Quote:
I'd probably use Fire Fang though. |

There is Chain Chomp...>_>
Garchomp @ Life Orb Naive/Lonely Nature EVs: 252 Speed, 252 Special Attack, 6 Attack - Earthquake - Draco Meteor - Swords Dance - Fire Blast Yes...the set is rather odd. But it works well. |
