Garchomp @ Life Orb
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 12 Atk / 252 SpA / 244 Spe
Rash Nature
- Spikes
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
One of Smogon's most historic sets, ChainChomp, returns with a fresh coat of paint in AAA! With the power boost from Adaptability, Garchomp can run a dangerous mixed attacking set that aims to threaten all of the common entry hazard removers so it can reliably set Spikes. Earthquake, on top of OHKOing Iron Treads, also 2HKOs common foes like Swampert, Pecharunt, and Primarina. Draco Meteor cleanly OHKOs physically defensive Great Tusk while also threatening to OHKO Ground-immune threats like Zapdos, Landorus-T, and Moltres. Finally, Fire Blast is a hard hit against Ground-immune Steel-types like Earth Eater Gholdengo and especially Corviknight. 244 Speed EVs guarantee Garchomp outspeeds every Great Tusk, while a Rash nature secures the OHKO against it with Draco Meteor. Garchomp is an excellent fit on offense teams looking to take advantage of Spikes and Garchomp's ability to threaten physical walls like Great Tusk, Fluffy Corviknight, and Pecharunt; Ceruledge, Roaring Moon, and Zamazenta are all strong teammates to consider.
