[SET COMMENTS]

* While Garchomp is known for its offensive prowess, it can also support its teammates with entry hazards and phazing.

* Bulldoze brings utility against Choice Scarf and naturally fast grounded opponents, but its lower Base Power makes Garchomp more passive against bulkier Pokemon.

* Sitrus Berry prevents Choice Band Dragapult from OHKOing Garchomp, as it activates after the first hit, and the HP recovered doesn't allow the second one to get the KO, unless Dragapult is Terastallized into a Dragon-type.

Tera Types
========

* **Steel**: Terastallizing into a Steel-type makes Garchomp resist Dragon-, Ice- and Fairy-type attacks, making it a safer lead against opposing Dragon-type leads, at the cost of being vulnerable to Tera Fire Dragons and Fighting- and Ground-types.

* **Fairy**: Fairy Tera type provides Garchomp with an immunity to Dragon while making it weak to Tera Steel Dragons and Gholdengo.

EV spreads
========

* 188 HP / 236 Def / 84 Spe with Impish: This EV spread lets Garchomp survive Adamant Dragonite's Outrage while also outspeeding it.

* 252 HP / 124 Def / 132 Spe with Jolly: While this spread doesn't take physical hits as well, it lets Garchomp outspeed Gholdengo, Glimmora, and Rotom-W. This allows for scouting Rotom-W's item, as a Choice Scarf variant of it will be faster.

Here's some feedback!

- Here's an alternate EV spread to put in an EV section: 252 HP / 124 Def / 132 Spe with Jolly. You don't take physical hits nearly as well, but this outspeed Gholdengo, Rotom-W, and Glimmora. While you can't actually "touch" Rotom-W first, this lets you scout if its Choice Scarf when setting up a hazard.

- For the Steel tera section, I'd mention that this makes Garchomp less risky to lead with, since a lot of Dragon-type leads seriously threaten it.

Otherwise this looks good to me, QC Approved 1/1!

The Sitrus berry procs after the first hit, which gives Garchomp enough health to live the second.

Though tfa you should mention that this only applies to dragon darts lmao I can see where the confusion came from

Oh, that's fair, I'm gonna change the wording to make it clearer.

I asked Theorymon and he said that since Garchomp already has a set I should add my name to the existing credits.
