Build Notes

Dragon Fang Scale Shot is the defining set of this team and the tournament. After one Scale Shot hit, Garchomp gains a speed boost sufficient to outpace almost every Pokemon in the format except Mega Aerodactyl. The bulk spread ensures Garchomp survives hits it normally would not, letting it stay on the field to accumulate additional Scale Shot hits or fire Earthquake. Adamant nature paired with Dragon Fang makes each Scale Shot hit and follow-up Earthquake hit extremely hard. Stomping Tantrum provides a reliable Ground coverage move when Earthquake risks hitting teammates.
