Garchomp is one of OU's finest balance breakers thanks to its monstrous Attack stat, access to Swords Dance, and solid coverage. Swords Dance allows Garchomp to become a powerful wallbreaker and overwhelm Pokemon such as Swampert, Ferrothorn, and Slowbro. Stone Edge hits Pokemon such as Zapdos, Mandibuzz, Moltres, and Tornadus-T. Scale Shot is its Dragon-type STAB that boosts its Speed, allowing Garchomp to become a late-game sweeper, in addition to hitting both Latios and Latias. Garchomp is also a reliable Stealth Rock setter, as it is able to pressure common Defoggers such as Zapdos, Mandibuzz, and Moltres. Additionally, Poison Jab allows Garchomp to hit Tapu Fini, Clefable, and Hatterene and is able to OHKO them after a Swords Dance boost. Teammates such as Tornadus-T, Zapdos, and Moltres are able to threaten Pokemon such as Buzzwole and Corviknight, which are able to take on Garchomp. Steel-types such as Heatran, Ferrothorn, and Corviknight are great partners, as they are able to patch up Garchomp's weaknesses to pivot in against Fairy- and Ice-type attacks.

Garchomp is one of OU's finest balance breakers thanks to its monstrous Attack stat, access to Swords Dance, and solid coverage. Swords Dance allows Garchomp to become a powerful wallbreaker. You should name a couple examples of balance staples that Garchomp can overwhelm thanks to Swords Dance. Stone Edge allows Garchomp to hit Pokemon such as Zapdos, Mandibuzz, Moltres, and Tornadus-T. Scale Shot is Dragon-type STAB that allows Garchomp to boost its Speed allowing Garchomp to become a late-game sweeper. It also hits Latios and Latias. Garchomp is also a reliable Stealth Rock setter as it is able to pressure common Defoggers such as Zapdos and Moltres. Mandibuzz is the best Defogger in the tier right now and Garchomp is also excellent at pressuring it, so definitely mention Mandibuzz too. Additionally, Poison Jab allows Garchomp to hit Tapu Fini, Clefable, and Hatterene for super effective damage. The more notable thing to state is that it OHKOes them at +2. Teammates such as Tornadus-T, Zapdos, and Moltres are able to threaten Pokemon such as Buzzwole and Corviknight and which are able to take on Garchomp. Steel-types such as Heatran, Ferrothorn, and Corviknight are great partners for Garchomp as they are able to patch up Garchomp's weaknesses to pivot in vs Fairy- and Ice-type attacks.

Good job, 1/1.
