Build Notes

The team's primary win condition. Sand Veil plus Bright Powder stack evasion under sand, making Garchomp notoriously difficult to hit. Substitute adds a third layer: opponents must break the sub, land a hit through the evasion stack, then hit again. Jolly nature with maxed Speed SP ensures Garchomp outspeeds threats and gets Substitute up before status moves like Will-O-Wisp or Leech Seed land. Maxed Attack with 2 Def SP gives slight physical bulk to the sub. Earthquake and Dragon Claw provide broad coverage, pressuring most of the format.
