[SET COMMENTS]
Garchomp stands out as a bulky entry hazard setter due to its naturally high Attack, allowing it to invest EVs into HP, while still having a good offensive presence after it is done setting hazards. It also has the merits of a solid defensive typing in Ground / Dragon, such as a Electric immunity. Dragon Tail is a great phazing move for Garchomp, as it prevents Pokemon like Mewtwo and Kingambit from setting up while also getting damage on the target and forcing another Pokemon to take hazard damage. Tera Steel allows Garchomp to resist its weaknesses and threaten targets like Solgaleo or Zamazenta-C with Earthquake or Dragon Tail. Tera Ghost allows Garchomp to become a spinblocker for itself, well as gain a Fighting immunity, which can come in handy against Pokemon like Great Tusk and Sneasler. Rocky Helmet synergizes well with Rough Skin, which can punish Pokemon going for a contact move such as U-turn. Garchomp mainly fits on balance and sometimes bulky offense teams. A spinblocker like Giratina or Gholdengo is a great partner for Garchomp, as it allows the hazards to stay on the field, as Garchomp itself can't stop Rapid Spin if it does not Terastallize despite its ability to chip down anyone going for it. Other phazers like Roar Dialga and Roar Zamazenta-C are also good partners, as they can also phaze and make use of Garchomp's hazards. A bulky Steel-type like Magearna and Solgaleo could also be of use, since they give Garchomp a defensive teammate to fall back upon, if Garchomp is facing down an Ice-type like Chien-Pao or another Dragon-type like Palkia-O.
