Gameplay Summary
Begins to Dominate when Fully-evolved
Garchomp’s offensive potential truly shines during its final evolution whne it can learn strong moves like Dragon Rush and Dragon Claw.
Building Garchomp well affords your team a tanky damage-dealer so farming during the early stages is important.
Works Well With Support
Havings supporter-type allies work with Garchomp at the top and bottom lanes helps make sure that Garchomp levels up fast. This is to compensate for Garchomp’s lackluster pre-evolution performance.
Do not ignore the center of the map as well to farm wild Pokemon by yourself when playing as Garchomp. Going with allies to farm Combee is also recommended.
