@Lord of Bays: It shouldn't be that hard to shorten that. What you have to do is cut out some of the fluff. A few examples:

providing immunity to Electric attacks such as Thunder, Volt Switch, Thunder Wave, and a resistance to Stealth Rock, giving him switch-in opportunities his Flying brothers would rage for.
This whole section can easily be shortened to "providing an immunity to Electric attacks and a resistance to Stealth Rock." You don't really need the rest.

His fantastic base 108 HP and 95/85 defenses gives him better all-around bulk than Swampert! Garchomp was given every tool he needs to succeed as a defensive pivot and harasser in the generation shift: Rough Skin ensures any physical attacker will be wishing they had stayed home; Dragon Tail gives Garchomp a powerful phazing tool, which mixes perfectly with Stealth Rock, a gift from the Black and White 2 Move Tutors. His excellent base 102 speed even makes Garchomp quite possibly the most devastating RestTalk phazer in the game, as opposing attackers will find him far sturdier than other Pokémon as powerful and walls that can take his punishment will quickly find themselves returned to their Pokéballs only to take more damage upon re-entry.
Yes, pretty much all of the second paragraph. You don't need to mention the secondary Dragon STAB for the last set in the overview. RestTalk phazer Garchomp doesn't exist. This can be shortened to one or two sentences talking about Stealth Rock and Rough Skin briefly. You have the sets to explain Garchomp; the overview is exactly what the word implies, an overview.

Fixing those two sections should get your overview down to a good length. You might want to look over the rest of it, but to me, it looks good.
