[SET]
Mixed Attacker (Garchomp) @ Life Orb
Ability: Regenerator / Download
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Spikes / Stealth Rock
[SET COMMENTS]
Mixed Attacker Garchomp is a reliable entry hazard setter that packs enough power and Speed to consistently deter common hazard removal options like Corviknight and Great Tusk from safely switching in. Draco Meteor is the STAB move of choice, surprising offensive Great Tusk with a 2HKO, while Fire Blast 2HKOes Corviknight. Download is a niche option over Regenerator, letting it secure a 2HKO on Mandibuzz and offensive Manaphy with Draco Meteor while also freeing your Regenerator slot for a teammate like Kommo-o or Great Tusk, but it comes at the cost of cutting into Garchomp's longevity. Life Orb notably guarantees the 2HKO on specially defensive Garchomp with Draco Meteor. Offensive threats like Manaphy, Azelf, and Iron Moth appreciate Garchomp for its entry hazards and ability to threaten common defensive foes, chipping them down to be picked off later in the game. Defensive pivots such as Corviknight, Zapdos, and RegenVest Manaphy appreciate Garchomp outspeeding and threatening powerful offensive threats such as Great Tusk, Ceruledge, and Sandy Shocks, while Garchomp appreciates these defensive partners handling the faster attackers like Weavile, Azelf, and Chien-Pao that force Garchomp out. Garchomp is worn down very easily by hazards and appreciates Rapid Spin users like Great Tusk and Quaquaval and Wish support from Scream Tail, allowing it to come in repeatedly over the course of the game while greatly improving its longevity, especially if running Download. Garchomp also struggles to break through common defensive foes like Scream Tail and Earth Eater Empoleon, so it appreciates teammates such as Gengar and Zamazenta-C, which can break down these walls.
