With an astonishingly high Attack stat and access to Swords Dance, Mega Garchomp serves as a decent wallbreaker that is capable of breaking common defensive staples and setting up in front of the likes of Toxapex, Galarian Slowking, Heatran, and Zapdos. Scale Shot lets it break Dragonite's Multiscale as well as Substitute from the likes of Kyurem and Serperior, and it can patch up its mediocre base Speed and outspeed them at +1. Fire Fang hits Skarmory and Corviknight and also OHKOes Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn at +2. Mega Garchomp appreciates teammates like Tornadus-T, Zapdos, and Landorus-T, since they can pivot and give it safe entry into foes like Toxapex and Heatran and let it take advantage of the switches it forces in order to set up Swords Dance. Dual screens support from Tapu Koko and Grimmsnarl gives it opportunities to set up. Fairy-type Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Tapu Lele appreciate Mega Garchomp's ability to lure and weaken Steel-types like Ferrothorn, Mega Scizor, and Corviknight. Teammates like Alomomola, Galarian Slowking, and Volcarona can cover Garchomp's Ice and Fairy weaknesses from foes like Weavile and Iron Valiant. Physical walls like Dondozo and Landorus-T make it difficult for Mega Garchomp to sweep, so physical wallbreakers such as Ogerpon-W, Hawlucha, and Iron Boulder are good teammates. Tapu Lele's Psychic Terrain prevents priority attacks that try to stop Mega Garchomp from sweeping, such as Weavile's Ice Shard and Mega Lopunny's Fake Out. Additionally, Tapu Koko prevents Dondozo from using Rest, as it summons Electric Terrain. Offensive teammates such as Choice Scarf Kartana and Mega Scizor can check foes that try to revenge kill Mega Garchomp like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, Urshifu-R, and Booster Energy Iron Valiant.

With an Astonishing high attack stat and access to sword dance Mega Garchomp serves as a decent wallbreaker capable of breaking common defensive staples sush as Toxapex, Landorus-T and Gouging fire u don't really break landorus, +1 ss does 90 max assuming 5 hits and then eq does 60 in return, gouging isn't common nor a defensive staple, change for smth like gking and tran, taking advantages of it's typing and great bulk it can setup infront of some populair mons like Iron boulder and Zapdos, this should be merged w the mention of it breaking defensive mons, also boulder is not really relevant Scale shot let it to break mons like Dragonite Dragonite's Multiscale and mons that take advantage of Substitute like Substitute from the likes of Kyurem and Serperior and with the speed boost it can outspeed Tapu koko and both Latios and Latias and clean up late game can patch up its mediocre base speed, Fire Fang hits Skarmory, corviknight and kills mega Scizor and Ferrothorn at +2. Mega Garchomp appreciate Teammates like Tornados-T, Zapdos and Landorus-T that can pivots out and gave it a safe entry to foes like Toxapex and Heatran and take advantage of the switches it forces in order to sets a Sword Dance, screens support from Tapu Koko, Grimmsnarl and Ninetales-A not relevant gives it opportunities to set up, Fairies appreciates Mega Garchomp ability to lure and weaken Steel-types like Ferrothorn and Skarmory add examples. Mega Garchomp's weakness to Ice-type attacks makes Water- and Steel-types such as Alomomola, Tapu Fini and Heatran respectively, good Teammates, although Misty terrain weakens Mega Garchomp's Scale Shot, u can't just mention it being weak to ice, u have to name ice types and then pokemon that check those ice types physical walls gives Mega Garchomp a hard time to sweep like Dondozo add another example so special wallbreakers like Tapu Lele and Serperior tapu koko should be mentioned since electric terrain destroys dozo are great partners; Tapu Lele psychic terrain prevents proirity attacks that trying to stop Mega Garchomp from sweeping such as Weavile Ice Shard and Mega Lopunny Fake Out. scarf lele/urshifu and booster/terrain valiant can all rk it asw, mention checks to those

lmk when you've implemented this, wanna give this another read before giving 1/2
also im not a gp guy but there are a lot of spelling mistakes, please make sure to read through this a few times and correct them
 
Fairies Fairy-type Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Tapu Lele appreciate Mega Garchomp's ability to lure and weaken Steel-types like Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Heatran Mega Scizor, and Corviknight skarm doesn't check these two at all, also u dont lure or weaken tran u just set up on it and ohko it.
Teammates like Alomomola, Tapu Fini Rotom-W, fini is very mediocre in general and weakens ss with misty and Heatran can cover Garchomp's Ice and Fairy weaknesses respectively from foes like Weavile and Iron Valiant.
1/2 gj

With an astonishingly high attack stat and access to Sword Dance, Mega Garchomp serves as a decent wallbreaker capable of breaking common defensive staples and setting up in front of the likes of Toxapex, Slowking-G, Heatran and Zapdos. Scale Shot lets it break Dragonite's Multiscale and Substitute from the likes of Kyurem and Serperior and can patch up its mediocre base speed. mention what it outspeeds at +1 Fire Fang hits Skarmory, Corviknight and KOes kills Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn at +2. Mega Garchomp appreciates teammates like Tornadus-T, Zapdos and Landorus-T that can pivot out and give it a safe entry to foes like Toxapex and Heatran and take advantage of the switches it forces in order to set up Sword Dance. Screens support from Tapu Koko and Grimmsnarl give it opportunities to set up. Fairy-type Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Tapu Lele appreciate Mega Garchomp's ability to lure and weaken Steel-types like Ferrothorn, Mega Scizor and Corviknight. Teammates like Alomomola, Rotom-W and Heatran i'd prefer having mons like gking and volcarona here as they can actually punish / switch into weav and iron valiant can cover Garchomp's Ice and Fairy weaknesses from foes like Weavile and Iron Valiant. Physical walls give Mega Garchomp a hard time to sweep like Dondozo and Landorus-T, so special wallbreakers like Tapu Lele, Serperior, and Tapu Koko are great partners; mentions of other physical wallbreakers that can wear down physical walls would be much more appropriate, especially since mchomp can't really give them entry points without making a double switch. stuff like ogerpon-w / lucha / iron boulder etc Tapu Lele's Psychic Terrain prevents priority attacks that try to stop Mega Garchomp from sweeping such as Weavile's Ice Shard and Mega Lopunny's Fake Out. Additionally, Tapu Koko prevents Dondozo from using Rest as it summons Electric Terrain. Offensive teammates such as Scarf Kartana and Mega Scizor can check foes that try to revenge kill Mega Garchomp, like Scarf Tapu Lele, Urshifu-R, and Booster Energy Iron Valiant.
