[SET COMMENTS]
* Choice Band Garchomp looks for the opportunity to utilize its unique offensive profile to deal massive damage to slower targets such as Volcanion, Iron Hands, and Diancie.
* Outrage can hit non-Haban Berry Regidrago, Spectrier, Air Balloon Volcanion, and Hoopa-U.
* Earthquake hits Raging Bolt, non-Custap Berry Hisuian Goodra, and non-Weakness Policy variants of Metagross and Iron Crown.
* Scale Shot is able to break Substitute from foes like Volcarona and Ogerpon-W.
* Iron Head easily breaks through non-physically defensive Diancie, while Poison Jab is helpful for non-Kebia Berry Whimsicott.
* The Special Defense EVs allow Garchomp to survive a Life Orb Hex from Spectrier after 1 turn of burn damage, while the Speed EVs are enough to outspeed non-Choice Scarf Hoopa-U and max Speed Regidrago.
* Garchomp really appreciates Steel-type partners like Iron Crown and Scizor, as they are able to defeat the common Fairy- and Ice-type Pokemon that are usually able to defeat Garchomp, such as Iron Valiant, Alolan Ninetales, and Kyurem.

* Choice Band Garchomp looks for the opportunity to utilize its unique offensive profile to deal massive damage to slower targets such as Volcanion, Iron Hands, and Diancie.
// 112+ Atk Choice Band Garchomp Iron Head vs. 248 HP / 248+ Def Diancie: 284-336 (93.7 - 110.8%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
// you don't reliably beat Weakness Policy Diancie
* Outrage can hit non-Haban Berry Regidrago, Spectrier, Air Balloon Volcanion, and Hoopa-U.
* Earthquake hits Raging Bolt, non-Custap Berry Hisuian Goodra, and Iron Hands.
* Scale Shot is able to hit opponents through Substitute such as Espathra and Volcarona.
// ^Maybe reword this sentence slightly to not imply that Scale Shot bypasses Substitute
* Iron Head easily breaks through Diancie, while Poison Jab is helpful for non-Kebia Berry Whimsicott.
// Same Diancie calc as before
* The Special Defense EVs are to survive a Life Orb Hex from Spectrier after 1 turn of burn damage, while the Speed EVs are enough to outspeed non-Choice Scarf Hoopa-U and Regidrago, with the remaining EVs going into Attack.
* Garchomp really appreciates Steel-type partners like Iron Crown and Scizor, as they are able to defeat the common Fairy- and Ice-type Pokemon that are usually able to defeat it, such as Iron Valiant, Alolan Ninetales, and Kyurem.

* Outrage can hit non-Haban Berry Regidrago, Spectrier, Air Balloon Volcanion, and Hoopa-U.
* Earthquake hits Raging Bolt, non-Custap Berry Hisuian Goodra, and Iron Hands. (more steel type examples instead of hands: Metagross, Non-WP crown)
* Scale Shot is able to break any opponents' Substitute from the likes of Espathra (will feather dance on you, mention the sub+petaya set specifically if at all.) and Volcarona.
* Iron Head easily breaks through non-physically defensive Diancie, while Poison Jab is helpful for non-Kebia Berry Whimsicott.
* The Special Defense EVs are to survive a Life Orb Hex from Spectrier after 1 turn of burn damage, while the Speed EVs are enough to outspeed non-Choice Scarf Hoopa-U and Max Speed Regidrago, with the remaining EVs going into Attack.
* Garchomp really appreciates Steel-type partners like Iron Crown and Scizor, as they are able to defeat the common Fairy- and Ice-type Pokemon that are usually able to defeat it, such as Iron Valiant, Alolan Ninetales, and Kyurem. (The wording of this sentence sounds janky to me but I'll leave that to your discretion)
