I think Garchomp should be tested with sand veil. With rain more common than ever sand veil isn't nearly as broken. Sand was the only autoweather in gen 4 OU (besides rarely seen hail) so there was nothing to stop sand veil once Tar or Hippo were sent out.

Sub+SD is the set that most abused sand veil, but that leave chomp only 2 attacks, (EQ and outrage). Gen5 gave a power boost to all multi-hit moves. Icicle spear from scarfed mamoswine, or cloyster will break garchomp's sub, and KO.
Gen5 has other checks to chomp that gen4 didn't.
