Choice ScarfGarchomp is listed as a Dragon/Ground type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Garchomp fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Rough Skin, Choice Scarf and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Rock Slide, Protect, Stomping Tantrum, and Scale Shot. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Garchomp has important weaknesses to ice 4x, dragon 2x, fairy 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as sneasler, charizard-mega-y, kingambit, aerodactyl, and incineroar appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
