Do you need a tanky and fast rocker?
Need a little bit more chip damage?
Need to annoy someone for a battle?
Well this set is for you!
This Garchomp set fits well on hyper offense and balance teams, as Garchomp's natural bulk can be helpful in many situations. It also has a fantastic ability, Rough Skin, and with Endure, it can provide lots and lots of chip on strong and prominent physical attackers such as Urshifu-Rapid and Rillaboom.
Stealth Rock provides EVEN MORE CHIP! Earthquake is for STAB, and Fire Fang is for Ferro and Rilla.
Endure can be used to survive a U-turn at 1 hp from common mons such as Lando-T and Corv.
130 Speed + Jolly ensures that it can outspeed both Nidoking and Rillaboom, as Nidoking's Ice Beam and Rilla's Wood Hammer does massive damage/OHKO's it.
