Base Stats

Garchomp pairs a huge 130 Attack with a fast 102 Speed and a thick 108 HP, so it threatens damage the moment it lands. Mega Garchomp jumps to 170 Attack and 120 Special Attack with sturdier 115/95 defenses, but drops to 92 Speed — fast enough to outrun bulky threats, not the speedy ones. The base form's extra 10 Speed is often worth more than the Mega's raw power in doubles.

Form	HP	Atk	Def	SpA	SpD	Spe	BST
Garchomp	108	130	95	80	85	102	600
Mega Garchomp	108	170	115	120	95	92	700

Type Matchups

Abilities

• Rough Skin — chips any attacker that makes contact for a sixteenth of its HP. The default ability: free passive damage that adds up against Fake Out and multi-hit moves.
• Sand Veil — raises evasion in a sandstorm. Niche and reliant on weather; most builds prefer Rough Skin.
• Sand Force (Mega Garchomp) — boosts Ground, Rock and Steel moves by 30% during a sandstorm, turning Earthquake into a heavy spread threat on sand teams.

Best Moveset

Garchomp's coverage is excellent and its STAB hits most of the format hard. For Regulation M-A doubles:

Physical attacker

• Earthquake — spread Ground STAB; pair with a Flying or Levitate partner to avoid hitting your own side.
• Dragon Claw or Outrage — Dragon STAB; Dragon Claw stays controllable, Outrage hits harder but locks you in.
• Rock Slide — spread coverage with a flinch chance, great into Flying-types that wall Ground.
• Protect — doubles staple for scouting and surviving a turn.

Swords Dance / Mega sweeper

• Swords Dance — +2 Attack turns Garchomp into an immediate win condition.
• Earthquake + Stone Edge or Iron Head — STAB and coverage after the boost.
• Fire Blast / Flamethrower — Mega Garchomp's high Special Attack lets it punish Steel walls like Skarmory.

Other tools in its kit include Stealth Rock, Spikes, Scorching Sands, Crunch, Earth Power, Liquidation and Tera Blast.

Suggested SP Spread

With the Champions SP system (66 points, max 32 per stat), Garchomp wants to keep its Speed tier and lean into its Attack:

• Fast attacker: max Attack and enough Speed to clear the relevant benchmarks, with an offensive Stat Alignment (boost Attack or Speed, lower Special Attack).
• Mega bulk-attacker: max Attack, then split into HP for a bulkier Swords Dance set that survives priority.

Competitive Role in Regulation M-A

Garchomp is one of the most efficient physical threats in the format. Its Ground/Dragon STAB combination is resisted by very little, and Earthquake plus Rock Slide gives it a clean spread of damage against the whole opposing side at once. The base form's 102 Speed lets it move before most relevant attackers without any setup, so even a single Swords Dance turns it into an immediate sweeper.

Mega Garchomp is a different tool: slower but far harder-hitting, and able to mix in Fire Blast to break the physical walls that would otherwise sponge Earthquake. On sand teams, Sand Force pushes its Ground STAB into overkill territory. Either way it appreciates Flying-type or Levitate partners that ignore its spread Earthquake.
