Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef)
- Hone Claws
- Dragon Rush
- Fire Blast
- Earthquake

Hone Claws allows for the Forgotten Dragon Attk Dragon Rush to be accurate as well as Fire Blast who's accuracy is also shaky. I'm not sure I put the right EVs and even though this set is outclassed by SD it can still prove effective. Right?
No... just no...

Dragon Claw + Swords Dance = 160 (240 with STAB)
Dragon Rush + Hone Claws = 150 (225 with STAB)

Earthquake + Swords Dance = 200 (300 with STAB)
Earthquake + Hone Claws = 150 (225 with STAB)

Perfect Accuracy on Fire Blast is no reason to a be using a worse Dragon STAB and a way, way WAY crippled Earthquake. Hone Claws is pointless on Garchomp.
