Garchomp uses its good defensive typing and bulk to be an excellent entry hazard setter that can check a myriad of special attackers like Heatran, Sandy Shocks, and Hisuian Electrode. Spikes is usually preferred, but Stealth Rock can be used on offensive teams that are unlikely to get multiple layers of Spikes up. Stone Edge threatens Flying-types like Zapdos, while Flamethrower hits non-Well-Baked Body Corviknight and Earth Eater Gholdengo, discouraging the former from removing entry hazards. Stealth Rock can also be run in the last moveslot in conjunction with Spikes on bulkier teams that appreciate having both and that can threaten entry hazard removers like Corviknight and Great Tusk. A Sassy nature should be used if running Flamethrower; otherwise, Careful is preferred. Powerful attackers like Walking Wake and Latios appreciate Garchomp's Spikes support letting them break past walls like Hisuian Goodra and Empoleon easier. Frailer teammates like Azelf appreciate Garchomp's ability to switch into and threaten their switch-ins like Heatran and Gholdengo. Garchomp can't check certain special attackers like Walking Wake and Latios, making teammates that can deal with them like Empoleon ideal on less offensive teams. Garchomp also struggles against powerful physical attackers like Roaring Moon and Chien-Pao, making teammates that can handle them like Corviknight and Iron Hands good partners.

Garchomp uses its good defensive typing and bulk to be an excellent entry hazard setter while also being able to check a myriad of special attackers like Gengar Heatran gengar is real dicey, Sandy Shocks, and Hisuian Electrode. add a sentence here about Spikes are generally preferred in the first slot, but rocks are an option on more offensive teams that are likely to only get one layer Stealth Rock can be used if the team lacks a user of it, Stone Edge threatens Flying-types like Zapdos, while Flamethrower hits non-Well-Baked Body Corviknight and Gholdengo, discouraging the former from removing entry hazards mention double hazards as an option. A Sassy nature should be used if running Flamethrower; otherwise, Careful is preferred. Powerful attackers like Walking Wake and Latios appreciate Garchomp's Spikes support, letting them break past walls like Hisuian Goodra easier. Frailer teammates like Azelf also appreciate Garchomp's ability to switch into and threaten their switch-ins like Heatran and Gholdengo. Garchomp can't check certain special attackers like Walking Wake and Latios, making teammates that can deal with them like Heatran Empoleon ideal. I would add another sentence emphazing that Garchomp is too frail to be the primary special check on all but hte most offensive teams Garchomp also struggles against powerful physical attackers like Roaring Moon and Chien-Pao, making teammates that can handle them like Corviknight and Iron Hands good partners.
