Garchomp help

Toothache said:
After one Swords Dance, Garchomp is doing this to Skarmory:

Damage: 69.76% - 82.04%

which is either gonna force Skarm to switch or Roost, if it can depending on what it Roared on your team. So yeah, I'm saying Skarm isn't gonna like to do that too often.

Nope. Still, you know as well as I do that the player can sqeak in a turn to heal with rest or roost and be at full strength. the minute that skarm is brutallized, you better belive the garchomp counter is gonna be waitin for it's prey. Still, that is nothing easy to pull off (what I just said), so I see it working.

EDIT: Azonic, what kind of idiot leaves garchomp in against salamence to be OHKOed by draco meteor? Even if you are faster and have a SD boost, intimidate :/

Umm... Salamence?

SpecsMence is getting really popular and Garchomp needs to prepare for it.

Not only is Garchomp faster than Salamence, it can easily beat it down with Outrage or Dragon Claw. Assuming Salamence has 6 HP EV / 0 Def EV, he takes this from an Intimidated Garchomp (-1 stage) holding a Life Orb and using Dragon Claw:

Jolly nature: Damage: 84.04% - 98.80%

I think Garchomp can deal with Specsmence easily enough. With Stealth Rock set up he's gone already.
 
I guess I've been proven wrong. lol

Regardless, it's tough for the foe to know what set you're using, which can work to your advantage if you play your cards right.
 
well, i like my Garchomp. i'll leave the fire blast be, thank you guys for the input.

oh but wait!

draco meteor over dragon rush? or vice versa?

Dragon rush is made of epic fail. Draco meteor is only useful on Chainchomp.

Dragon Rush < Draco Meteor < Outrage < Dragon Claw

Dragon Rush - 75 Accuracy for only 100 Power? thats a complete failure if you use it. Dragon Claw is far more effective.

Use Dragon Claw

Dragon Claw
Fire Blast
Earthquake
Swords Dance
 
I actually think dragon claw is worse than outrage in certain situations. Namely DDnite.
 
Outrage can OHKO many Pokemon leaving the next Switch-in open to Skarmory. It has high defense and resists Outrage. It can set-up spikes and roost its way out of danger.
