[SET COMMENTS]
<p>This set was made to abuse Garchomp's Sand Veil ability. The idea is to Substitute against a non-threatening Pokemon and hopefully avoid one of their attacks to get a free Swords Dance and sweep with its STAB moves. BrightPowder boosts your Evasion to 28% in Sandstorm, which means if you Substitute 4 times against a slower opponent, you have just under 74% chance of getting a free Swords Dance, giving you the opportunity to sweep from behind your sub. With Leftovers, you have the advantage of being able to switch into Stealth Rock and have 5 Substitutes instead of 3 with BrightPowder. Using Substitute 5 times in Sandstorm gives you a 60% chance at getting a free Swords Dance.</p>
<p>A Salac Berry can be used to outspeed revenge killers such as Infernape, Starmie, and Gengar without Choice Scarf after 3 Substitutes. Use 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe and an HP IV of 30 so as to have your HP divisible by 4. This way, the Berry will activate after the third Substitute. An Adamant Nature is acceptable for this set if you don't mind tying in Speed with most Scarfchomp after the Salac Berry activates.</p>
<p>Obviously Skarmory and Bronzong can switch into this set without fear since they are immune to Earthquake and resist Dragon attacks.</p>
