## Summary

**Garchomp** is a dual-type Dragon/Ground pseudo-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. It evolves from Gabite starting at level 48. It is the final form of Gible. Garchomp can Mega Evolve into Mega Garchomp using the Garchompite. Garchomp can fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey, being capable of flying as fast as a jet airplane. It is able to move on both the air and underground. It preys on bird Pokémon and is known to eat entire flocks of them whole. It sometimes battles Salamence in the air as they compete for food. After catching the prey, it returns back to den before its body can cool down. The fine scales on its body reduce drag for easier flight, and their sharp edges also serve to injure opponents who attack it directly. It can use its protuberances as sensors for finding distinct prey. Garchomp is a cave-dweller and is seldom seen in the wild. It also lives in volcanic mountains.
