"How will Garchomp compare to other dragons and generalists? (Analysis)"

#PokemonGO: Garchomp is a Dragon/Ground type, from Gen 4. Its stats are as follows: ATK: 261 DEF: 198 STA: 216 Max CP: 3823As you can tell by looking at its stats, Garchomp is shaping up to be a beast. It has an Attack stat comparable to Dragonite, and also impressive bulk, rivaling that of Rhydon.Now let’s look at Garchomp’s possible quick and charge moves, considering its current Gen VII learnset:Quick: Dragon Tail, Fire Fang, Tackle (not likely), Take Down (not likely), Shadow Claw, Poison Jab, Dragon Breath, Mud Shot, Metal Claw, Iron Tail.Charge: Crunch, Outrage, Earthquake, Sand Tomb (not likely), Dragon Claw, Dig, Hyper Beam (not likely), Brick Break, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Stone Edge, Rock Tomb, Aerial Ace (not likely), Rock Slide, Surf (not likely), Body Slam (not likely), Iron Head, Twister (Why?), Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse.If it gets Dragon Tail/Outrage, it will be one of, if not, the best non-legendary Dragon type in the game, thanks to its combination of power and survivability. As a generalist, Garchomp and a 13 attack Dragonite are equal in damage output (considering DT/O). But Garchomp has more bulk, so it will have much better TDO.Rayquaza will have fierce competition from Garchomp, because the shark has more bulk, and its attack stat is usable enough to be a tank, unlike Rayquaza.Palkia and Dialga are almost certainly going to outclass Garchomp if given the right moveset.As a Ground type, Garchomp is not going to have much relevance, with Groudon completely dominating the scene. Garchomp’s advantage is easier candy accessibility.Hope you enjoyed my analysis! via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2Ko6btZ
