Mega Garchomp

Mega Garchomp is the team's primary wallbreaker, trading away Garchomp's usual Speed lead for a much bigger Attack stat and a bulkier spread once it Mega Evolves. Adamant nature with HP and Speed split around a maxed Attack keeps it tanky enough to eat a hit and still act before common slower walls. Rough Skin punishes contact attackers, and the Mega Evolution itself swaps its ability to Sand Force, turning Aerodactyl's sandstorm into a 30 percent boost on Earthquake and Stomping Tantrum. Dragon Claw rounds out coverage against opposing Dragons, and Protect lets it scout Wide Guard or Fake Out leads safely.
