### Support

Garchomp is an All-Rounder Pokemon which specialises in a wide variety of Melee attacks. With the ability to serve as a tank, crowd management, and a respectable damage dealer, Garchomp can readily rush into the battlefield, initiate battles, and hold his own long enough to serve as the team's main tank.

## Strengths / Weaknesses

* Strong Enemy Engage
* Powerful unite move
* Unite Move takes practice to use it more successfully.

## Recommended Builds

### Defense

This construct is comparable to the last one, but it is more defensive and doesn't rely on critical hits. Its objective is to give Garchomp enough toughness and resilience to activate the benefits of its amplified attack. Similar to the previous construct, Dragon Rush and Dragon Claw work as a catalyst for your increased strikes. With Muscle Band's increased attack speed, you may accomplish your aim of starting the effects of your enhanced assaults more quickly. You can use Buddy Barrier and Focus Band to remain alive in battles long enough to use your upgraded attacks.

The function of Eject Button is the same as it was in the previous build.

Focus Band
Buddy Barrier | Eject Button | * +15 Attack
* +30 Defense
* +30 Sp. Defense
* +7.5% Attack Speed
* +450 HP

### Initiator

This defensive build makes Garchomp a frontline starter by utilizing Dig to start fights and Earthquake to finish them off. Your initiator role benefits from Weakness Policy's respectable HP boost and Attack stat boost. Durability, survival, and a superior team battle are provided by Focus Band and Buddy Barrier. The Eject Button is a crucial fighting equipment since it serves as an extra initiation option.

* +660 HP

### Boosted Attack

With the help of Garchomp's enhanced attack effects and critical hits, this build makes use of Dragon Rush and Dragon Claw to blast down enemies swiftly. Your main items for the build are the Muscle Band and the Scope Lens, which raise your attack speed, attack stat, percentage-based damage, critical hit rate, and critical hit damage. To help you get through the challenging early game, Focus Band grants you superior defenses and a survival mechanism. The Eject Button functions as an extra gap-closing device or an escape device.

Dragon Claw
Focus Band
Scope Lens | Eject Button | * +15 Attack
* +30 Defense
* +30 Sp. Defense
* +6% Critical-Hit Rate
* +12% Critical-Hit Damage
* +7.5 Attack Speed

#### Unite Move

Although Garchomp's Unite Move is unstable, it can spin and aim pretty easily. Garchomp will effortlessly spin around in that direction, even if it's a complete 180-degree turn, as long as you always have the analogue stick pointed at your intended objective. You may utilize the dashes to pursue attackers as they can travel a short distance.

### 1v5 Unite Move

This build is used to optimise the power of Garchomp’s unite, arguably the strongest in the game, to levels that allow you to crush the enemy team. Full Heal is used instead of Eject Button to help activate the Unite Move without being stun locked by CC beforehand. Buddy Barrier allows Garchomp to fight even after using the unite move. Weakness Policy allows Garchomp to deal great damage in a team fight. Rapid-fire Scarf is used on the last slot to finish off weakened enemies.
