Garchomp serves as an excellent wallbreaker that possesses great defensive utility, having an Electric-type immunity and being a check to Pokemon like Heatran and Volcarona. Outrage with Dragonium Z muscles through Pokemon like Great Tusk, Tangrowth, and Ting-Lu. Garchomp fits best on offensive teams; Pokemon like Volcarona, Mega Charizard Y, and Tapu Koko benefit from it breaking through Pokemon like Toxapex, Clodsire, and Dragonite. Tapu Koko makes a stellar partner because it can pivot on Garchomp targets in Clodsire, Gastrodon, and Gliscor. In return, Tapu Koko threatens Corviknight and Slowbro, two major roadblocks for Garchomp. Pokemon like Mega Scizor and Kingambit can pressure revenge killers such as Iron Valiant, Weavile, and Dragapult thanks to their strong priority while taking several attacks from them. Rotom-W switches into Pokemon that threaten Garchomp such as Great Tusk and Tornadus-T. Garchomp can take care of Pokemon Rotom-W pivots out on such as Gastrodon, Ferrothorn, and Gholdengo.

Garchomp possesses great role compression and is a good check to contact attackers like Mega Scizor, Dragonite, and Mega Lopunny. Toxic can cripple switch-ins such as Landorus-T, Tangrowth, and Rotom-W. Dragon Tail can stop any setup attempts from Volcarona, Mega Scizor, and Dragonite lacking Ice Spinner and can wear down Pokemon like Corviknight, Rotom-W, and Landorus-T. Alternatively, Flamethrower can rip through Pokemon like Kartana, Mega Scizor, and Ferrothorn. Tera Ghost lets Garchomp spinblock Great Tusk and switch into Fighting-type moves from Pokemon like Mega Medicham and Zamazenta, while Tera Water grants resistances to Gholdengo's Make It Rain and Ice- and Water-type moves from Weavile, Floatzel, and Urshifu-R as well as neutrality to Fairy-type attacks from Iron Valiant and Mega Diancie. Tera Steel gives it a Toxic immunity and improves Garchomp's matchup against Tapu Lele, Kartana, and Dragapult. The given Speed EVs with a Jolly Nature allows Garchomp to outspeed Timid Gholdengo, while maximizing its physical bulk. Teammates like Mega Scizor, Gholdengo, and Volcarona can cover Garchomp's Ice and Fairy weaknesses and threaten out a majority of Garchomp checks such as Iron Valiant, Weavile, and Mega Diancie. In return, Garchomp can switch into Rock- and Fire-type Pokemon like Heatran, Mega Tyranitar, and Volcarona. Knock Off Kingambit and Weavile support Garchomp by crippling common Defoggers like Tornadus-T and Landorus-T.
