When it folds up its body and extends its wings, it looks like a jet plane. It flies at sonic speed.

DRAFT LEAGUE CONTEXT

Garchomp in a draft league

What it offers

Garchomp combines a 102 Speed stat with strong physical pressure, Dragon/Ground typing, and an Electric immunity. Rough Skin can punish contact, while its four-times weakness to Ice makes matchup planning and defensive support important.

Roster planning

Treat Garchomp as an early source of speed and physical offense, then check whether the rest of the roster can absorb Ice- and Fairy-type attacks and pressure faster opponents. Its exact value still depends on move access, tera rules, and the league's price or tier.

Form and format check

Base Garchomp is faster and can use Rough Skin or Sand Veil. Classic Mega Garchomp raises both attacking stats and its bulk, drops from base 102 to base 92 Speed, and uses Sand Force. Mega Garchomp Z has a separate profile with a different typing and stat line.

Practical comparisons

Mega GarchompSame typing, but a different Speed tier, ability, stat profile, and possible Mega-slot cost.
Mega Garchomp ZA separate Mega form in the current catalog with different typing and base stats.
FlygonAnother Dragon/Ground option with Levitate and a different balance of speed, power, and utility.
DragoniteA Dragon-type alternative with Flying typing, Multiscale, and a very different defensive matchup.

Sources and methodology

Core Pokédex facts, measurements, abilities, species color, shape, Egg Groups, and artwork are retrieved from PokéAPI and refreshed daily. DraftCenter community statistics are anonymous aggregates calculated from eligible DraftCenter leagues.

Competitive ladder observations come from reviewed Smogon usage snapshots. Tournament aggregates use complete community events from Limitless; available cards link to the exact source snapshot or event. See the full data methodology.

Draft rate and ADP include eligibility and show their current sample sizes. Auction averages use completed auction samples, while team win rate uses confirmed match results. Small samples should be treated as early evidence, not a definitive ranking.
