[SET COMMENTS]
* Garchomp's fantastic Speed tier and power make it a fine Choice item user, especially when it can catch its softer checks off guard, such as Dragapult and Corviknight.
* Stone Edge deals massive damage to common Tera Flying Pokemon such as Gholdengo, and it prevents it from being walled by Tera Fairy Rotom-W.
* Rock Tomb is fairly weak, but the speed control can be very useful on Choice Scarf variants if sacrificing Garchomp.
* With Tera Steel, Iron Head lets Garchomp beat Tera Fairy Levitate foes such as Rotom-W.
* Crunch lets Garchomp deal massive damage to Air Balloon Gholdengo, though it is niche.
* Fire Fang, while weak, is Garchomp's best option against Corviknight when not Tera Fire.
Tera Types
========
* **Fire**: When combined with Tera Blast, Tera Fire lets even Choice Scarf Garchomp possibly 2HKO Corviknight. The Fairy and Ice resistance is also very helpful.
* **Steel**: Tera Steel is a good defensive alternative to Fire, retaining the useful Stealth Rock resistance and preforming better against Dragon- and Fairy-types.
* **Ground**: The incredible power boost Earthquake gets from Tera Ground is worth considering, with Choice Band possibly 2HKOing physically defensive Dondozo with it.
Items
========
* **Choice Scarf**: With Choice Scarf, Garchomp is able to outspeed and revenge kill key threats, such as Dragapult and Meowscarada, making it a potent late-game cleaner as well.
* **Choice Band**: Choice Band trades revenge killing for wallbreaking, letting Garchomp reliably 2HKO Skeledirge and deal massive damage to Corviknight with Fire-type Tera Blast.
