Comeback Dragon Build Garchomp - SUPERgameboy

Guide

Note: I found this build on the site Game8.co
With the Dragonite update Garchomp can no longer crit with his dragon combo no matter how much you do it, that is why we have Scope Lens as an item so It can crit. Also you all probably know this already but Garchomp now evolves and get moves one level shorter, This is great for garchomp players overall

You can go jungle to easily get garchomp so you aren't as weak in early game or bot path also works

This build lets you do great burst damage with the combo Dragon rush+ Dragon claw set and have low cooldowns and lets you stay in the fight with your basic attacks

Dragon claw description:
Dashes forward, slashing twice in front. The first slash knocks back enemy Pokemon. The second slash is a boosted attack. After the move ends, increases Garchomp's attack speed for a duration.
Upgrade: Increases damage dealt by Dragon Claw.

Dragon rush description:
Jumps up then dives into the target, dealing damage to enemies in the path as well as knocking them back to the end of the path. Can use Dragon Claw mid-dash as a combo.
Upgrade: Slows opponents that get dragged to the maximum distance of the Move.

This build allows you to:

Dragon Rush allows Garchomp to initiate fights while having a strong entrance. Following it up with a Dragon Claw allows Garchomp's to start piling up its Boosted Attack meter. Enemies caught in the barrage of attacks will certainly have a bad day.

How to play Garchomp:

Garchomp is an All-Rounder Pokemon that can act as a tank, crowd controller, and a decent damage dealer. Garchomp can easily jump into the fray and start fights as well as survive long enough to be the main tank of the team.

Don't listen to in Game description for his basic attacks:
The game clearly states that Garchomp's every fifth auto becomes empowered. This is inaccurate as Garchomp's auto attacks gain more damage and bonus damage based on the enemy's max HP on every hit after reaching 5 stacks. To top it off, you also heal for the same amount of the damage dealt by your passive. This makes Garchomp extremely good at taking objectives solo and fighting against tanky Pokemon like Snorlax.

Use Sand-Attack While Farming

Sand-Attack is a debuff move that restricts enemy vision, but that doesn't mean that it's useless while farming Wild Pokemon. Though it may not have direct damage compared to Bulldoze, Sand Attack grants an attack speed buff to Garchomp, making it easier to stack up towards a full Boosted Attack to speed up the damage.

learn the Dragon Combo for burst
Dragon Claw + Dragon Rush is a good dueling tool that has more range and damage but focuses more on damaging single targets.

Hunt Down Easy Matchups

Garchomp can easily take on other Pokemon that are easy matchups. Thanks to its passive ability, Rough Skin, Garchomp can take and give a beating towards opponents - especially if you can sustain its basic attacks. Just make sure to save a Dragon Rush for pursuit or a quick getaway.


Go For Prolonged Duels

Garchomp gains an attack speed boost when he lands a skill or an attack on an enemy. This makes his damage ramp up during a duel, so try to force long trades against enemies to maximize your buff.

While taking on Boss Pokemon alone is risky, if enemy attention is focused somewhere else, don't hesitate to go for it! Your durability, damage, and sustain are enough to easily take these objectives early on.


Farm Wild Pokemon to Heal Up

Remember that Empowered auto attacks are AOE (area-of-effect), so you can lifesteal across multiple Wild Pokemon.

Aside from increasing his attack speed, Garchomp's boosted attack also heals him for a small amount. This slowly stacks up on prolonged fights so instead of going back to base, try farming wild Pokemon to heal up!

Point Your Move Stick to Target When Using Unite Move

Garchomp's Unite Move may feel shaky, but its ability to turn and aim is rather easy. Just remember to point your analog stick to your desired target at all times and Garchomp will easily turn around in that direction, even if it's a complete 180-degree turn. The dashes also cover a bit of distance so you can also use them to chase enemies!

Combos to use:

Garchomp Dragon Combo (Variation 1)
Dragon Rush ► Dragon Claw ► Dragon Claw
This is Garchomp's more bursty combo. Dragon Claw is a strong 2 hit combo that also boosts your attack speed afterward.

Dragon Combo (Variation 2)
Dragon Rush ► Dragon Claw ► Dragon Claw
This is the second variation of the Dragon Combo. After casting Dragon Rush, use Dragon Claw mid-flight to trigger the combo, causing Dragon Claw to knock enemies up.
