I COULD BE BORED!
I have a feeling that this will be my biggest project as of date. So I can't really post much at the moment until school is over; however, I'm willing to hear everything that will be suggested. I have asked both Jibaku and Maniac (the Uber analysis writers) about this in particular, and none had plans to do it. I'm not saying I won't need help, because I might in a few things.
I'll leave this to MINOR discussion (for now) and work on the analysis while it goes on. Ubers will have to be implemented in here and some OU Pokemon knocked out of the picture. Swords Dance Ray outclasses Garchomp for the most part (barring STAB Earthquake and having a resist to Stone Edge as well as an immunity to Thunder). The Choice Band and Scarf sets will be at the very top with perhaps the regular and SubDancer in the bottom. I'm not even going to add Chain Chomp unless people want to argue otherwise.
The MAIN problem I have with doing this is how to actually... handle it. I'm not saying it will, but it is possible that Garchomp could see OU again, and frankly, some of those sets work in there better than some. Not everyone has actually "banned" Garchomp from OU like us and might want to see a more professional analysis instead of some of the mediocre analysis out there. Not saying I'm the best, but we're revered as a competitive community and such. I could type all day about this but I'd rather get to the main point: I'm debating on whether to add some of the OU "sets" and "counters" or not. Well, an updated version anyway. It'll still be geared toward Uber, but some references of OU wouldn't hurt.
RESERVED, otherwise.
Jibaku and Maniac, feel free to help me if you'd like on this one. Suggestions or a couple of other cool notations you guys have.

[SET]
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Outrage
move 2: Earthquake
move 3: Dragon Claw
move 4: Stone Edge / Toxic / Sleep Talk
item: Choice Scarf
nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Arguably the better of the two Choice sets, Choice Scarf Garchomp is a massive threat with Speed instead of power in the Uber environment. The two biggest advantages of Garchomp over Rayquaza are Garchomp’s Speed, which is just enough to stay ahead of base 100 Pokemon like Palkia, and his typing, which provides a great STAB combination and several useful resistances. Due to the fact that Bronzong and Skarmory are rarely seen in Ubers, Fire Blast and Fire Fang are absent from this set.</p>
<p>Although Garchomp’s Speed becomes a massive stat of 499 (outpacing even Deoxys-A), the power is slightly weaker than Choice Band. Outrage is a must for this reason alone. STAB Earthquake is important for coverage, taking out most of the dominant Steel-types in Ubers. Dragon Claw is weaker than both Outrage and Earthquake; however, it gives Garchomp the ability to attack with a reliable Dragon-type move and retain the freedom to switch. Stone Edge, Sleep Talk, and Toxic become major concerns for the final slot. Stone Edge damages Shedinja, while Toxic can cripple Pokemon that switch into Garchomp to eliminate from the equation later; Lugia and Giratina in particular. Unfortunately, Stone Edge won't do enough damage to 2HKO Lugia. Sleep Talk allows Garchomp to absorb a Dark Void from Darkrai and at least retaliate in the process. Also useful is the fact that Sleep Talk will not lock Garchomp into Outrage.</p>
<p>This set’s real power comes from Garchomp’s Speed alone. Outpacing practically the entire Uber metagame is devastating to the opponent. Not many Pokemon enjoy being outsped and being attacked by STAB Outrage constantly. Only Deoxys-S has a chance of outpacing Garchomp without setting-up or using a Choice Scarf. Unfortunately, Deoxys-S must invest a significant amount of Speed EVs to stop Garchomp. This set, as well as all Garchomp sets, enjoys Sand Veil. Sand Veil is a huge lifesaver thanks to the 20% chance of an opponent’s attack missing, provided sandstorm is in play.</p>
[SET]
name: Choice Band
move 1: Outrage
move 2: Earthquake
move 3: Stone Edge
move 4: Dragon Claw
item: Choice Band
nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>Garchomp makes a fantastic user of Choice Band in the Uber environment. With 333 Speed and 538 Attack, not a whole lot can switch into this set safely. Earthquake will destroy Dialga and Metagross easily. Outrage is an excellent clean-up attack once the main threats to Garchomp aren’t present. Outrage will do the most damage to the Uber environment barring the Steel-types listed above. Outrage should always be used with extreme caution because once it is used, Garchomp cannot switch out and stays locked into using it repeatedly. Don’t underestimate Outrage: it may not have the same raw power that Rayquaza has, but it can easily 2HKO a lot of Pokemon that don’t resist it.</p>
<p>Stone Edge is Garchomp’s best move against Lugia. Lugia is the dominant wall in Ubers, but does not always invest enough Speed to outpace Garchomp. This gives Garchomp a fighting chance against some slower Lugia as long as Stealth Rock is present on the field, though Garchomp should always avoid facing off with a faster Lugia. As with the Choice Scarf set, Dragon Claw is useful to finish off weakened Pokemon without becoming locked into Outrage. While Adamant is tempting on this set, it isn’t recommended. Outrage can 2HKO Groudon after Stealth Rock is calculated; however, by opting for Adamant Garchomp is outpaced by Lugia and Hasty Palkia.</p>
<p>A fair warning that you should never attempt to defeat a Lugia that is faster than you. Reflect, Roost, and Ice Beam are Garchomp's greatest fears. Despite Crunch's ability to pound Lugia even through Roost, Garchomp is better off either switching out or using Outrage.</p>
[SET]
name: Swords Dance
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Outrage / Dragon Claw
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Stone Edge
item: Life Orb / Yache Berry / Haban Berry
nature: Jolly
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>With Life Orb and Swords Dance, Garchomp is nearly unstoppable offensively. After a Swords Dance, Lugia suffers an OHKO from Stone Edge, given that Stealth Rock is in play. Garchomp outspeeds and can 2HKO Groudon with Outrage. STAB Earthquake wrecks Steel-types that can take a boosted Outrage, like Dialga and Metagross.</p>
<p>Garchomp’s main advantage over Rayquaza is its Speed. 7 points may not seem like much, but outspeeding Hasty Palkia is invaluale. It also gives Garchomp a chance of decimating most Latias that don’t invest heavily in Speed. The lack of Extremespeed is rather unfortunate for Garchomp, but with its bulk, typing, and ability, it's still very viable. Immunity to Thunder allows Garchomp to potentially switch into Specs Kyogre and obtain a free Swords Dance during the switch.</p>
<p>Two other item options work well when using Swords Dance Garchomp. Yache Berry softens Lugia's Ice Beam and gives Garchomp a better chance to sweep. Haban Berry works the same way, but for Dragon-type attacks instead of Ice. Dragon Claw is a useful move option over Outrage if being locked into an attack isn’t your style. The base power is an issue, however.</p>
[SET]
name: SubSalac
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Substitute
move 3: Dragon Claw / Outrage
move 4: Earthquake
item: Salac Berry
nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
IVs: 30 HP
[SET COMMENTS]
<p>This set allows Garchomp to Swords Dance with less prediction required, due to Substitute. Substitute blocks status, such as Will-O-Wisp and Toxic, from hindering a sweep. Behind the Substitute, feel free to use Swords Dance until the Substitute is broken. Once the Substitute is broken, repeat the process until Salac Berry activates. This gives Garchomp a “pseudo-Scarf” approach with the ability to boost its Attack. Dragon Claw allows Garchomp to switch attacks, furthering the possibility of a sweep. Outrage is still useful for this set. Because Garchomp will be at low HP after Salac activates, Outrage is worth considering due to its higher base power over Dragon Claw. Earthquake is Garchomp's best attacking option to pair with a Dragon-type attack and benefits from STAB. Don’t even think about Stone Edge; STAB Outrage will do almost equal damage to Lugia after a Swords Dance. Sandstorm is beneficial to this set, allowing Garchomp to avoid some attacks due to Sand Veil, thus keeping its Substitute intact.</p>
[Other Options]
<p>Garchomp’s movepool isn’t massive compared to other OU Dragon-types, nor is it as versatile as other Uber Pokemon. The moves listed are best choices for Garchomp in most scenarios.</p>
<p>On the Choice Band or Choice Scarf sets, Crunch is a reasonable option over Stone Edge. Crunch can still 2HKO Lugia on the Choice Band set, while giving Garchomp a safer alternative against the omnipresent Psychic-types in Ubers. Aqua Tail is a reasonable option when used with Kyogre support. Don't expect to KO Groudon with Aqua Tail, because Drought cuts Aqua Tail’s power in half. Fire Fang and Fire Blast are decent options, especially when paired with sunlight.</p>
<p>Given that Garchomp has better overall defenses than Swampert, running a defensive set that utilizes Rest and Sleep Talk is a viable option. On such a set, Outrage is highly recommended since not only does it have 120 base power before STAB, if it is chosen by Sleep Talk you will not be locked in and prevented from switching. Roar and Stealth Rock are support options available to Garchomp; unfortunately, Garchomp will rarely find time to use any of these moves other than Sleep Talk.</p>
[EVs]
<p>For all Garchomp sets, max Speed and Attack are recommended. The remaining EVs can go into HP, with the exception of sets with Substitute. The extra 4 EVs should be allocated into Defense and use a 30 HP IV as well.</p>
[Opinion]
<p>Garchomp’s reign in OU is over, and not exactly on a good note. While Garchomp is certainly viable in the Uber tier, it suffers being outclassed by the dominant Dragon-types in that environment. Rayquaza’s higher Attack and access to Extremespeed make it a better user of Swords Dance. Rayquaza also learns Dragon Dance, something that Garchomp lacks. When choosing Garchomp for your team, it should be used for those advantages it has over Rayquaza. Garchomp’s higher Speed gives it the ability to devastate a lot of the slower Uber Pokemon, such as Hasty Palkia and Timid Kyogre. Garchomp also has an immunity to Electric-type attacks; in particular, Thunder Wave. Sand Veil allows Garchomp to avoid an attack 20% of the time with sandstorm present, giving it a slight advantage over its Uber counterparts.</p>
<p>Despite lacking Rayquaza's sheer power, Garchomp should not be underestimated for any reason. Garchomp can single handedly crumple the Uber metagame with STAB Outrage, as there are very few Pokemon that resist Dragon in the tier. Give Garchomp the chance to sweep, and it will respond quickly with devastation; leaving only dust in its wake.</p>
[Counters]
<p>Garchomp shares many counters with Rayquaza. In other words, there are very few that actually exist. Groudon must invest heavily in HP and Defense in order to be a buffer against Garchomp. Unfortunately, Groudon could risk a 2HKO from Swords Danced Outrage. What’s worse is Thunder Wave will not faze Garchomp thanks to its Ground-typing. Thankfully, Lugia is the best counter against Garchomp. Lugia packs Roost, Reflect, and Ice Beam to easily scare off Garchomp. If Lugia switches into Stone Edge, it could find itself with low health, especially with Stealth Rock taken into account. Cresselia can easily switch into Garchomp and retaliate with Ice Beam. Moonlight's recovery is boosted by Groudon's Drought, allowing Cresselia to more efficiently take hits from Garchomp. Skarmory and Bronzong can switch into Garchomp, especially because the vast majority of Garchomp lack Fire Fang or Fire Blast. Metagross can switch into a locked Outrage and KO Garchomp with Ice Punch or Meteor Mash.</p>
<p>Many Pokemon can rely on their high Speed in order to revenge kill Garchomp. Keep in mind that the Choice Scarf set is an exception. Mewtwo, Darkrai, and Deoxys-A carry moves that threaten to OHKO Garchomp. Mewtwo commonly has Ice Beam to dispense Garchomp quickly and even has access to Will-O-Wisp and Reflect. A combination of Darkrai's STAB Dark Pulse, Dark Void, and Bad Dreams will usually force Garchomp to switch out. Deoxys-A can easily scare Garchomp off with Ice Beam, but is one of the few Pokemon listed above that cannot switch into Garchomp at all. Deoxys-S can always outpace Garchomp, with enough Speed investment, and bring it down with Ice Beam. For any user of Ice Beam, 269 Special Attack minimum is required in order to OHKO Garchomp.</p>
<p>Sand Veil makes countering difficult. Because Sand Veil reduces Ice Beam's accuracy to 80%, it may sometimes miss, resulting in Garchomp gaining a KO. Dark Void suffers an accuracy cut from 80% to 64%. Thankfully, Rayquaza's Air Lock prevents Sand Veil from screwing up Extremespeed’s accuracy.</p>
I'll leave this to MINOR discussion (for now) and work on the analysis while it goes on. Ubers will have to be implemented in here and some OU Pokemon knocked out of the picture. Swords Dance Ray outclasses Garchomp for the most part (barring STAB Earthquake and having a resist to Stone Edge as well as an immunity to Thunder).
