Garchomp (ガブリアス Gaburiasu) is a Dragon/Ground-type Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
Biology
Physiology
Garchomp is a bipedal Velociraptor/Hammerhead shark-like Pokémon colored mostly red and dark blue. On its head it possesses two horn-like appendages and a star-like yellow mark on its snout. Its arms have one claw each, and triangular fins emerge from its elbows and back.
Upon Mega Evolution, its claws extend into scythes and its body is covered in more spikes with two red spikes.
Gender differences
Male Garchomp have a notch on their dorsal fin.
Behavior
Garchomp are relentless pursuit predators that chase down their prey while never allowing them to escape. They always have violent disputes with Salamence, their natural rival, when hunting for food. They are loyal and friendly towards their trainers though, as demonstrated by Prof. Sycamore's Garchomp in the anime.
Upon Mega Evolving, Garchomp will become uncontrollably savage and aggressive due to their prided wings have become scythes. They won't cease throwing into a fit of ferocious rage and will even slice their enemies into scraps.
Natural Abilities
Garchomp can fly in high velocity of sound in the air when folding their bodies and stretching their wings.
Their wings can crash trees when they are running at a high speed.
The appendages on their heads can serve the purpose of a sensor, which are helpful for detecting faraway preys.
Habitat
They are seldom seen in the wild as they live in caves.
Diet
Garchomp are carnivorous. If they ever irrupt into a flock of bird Pokémon, they will not hesitate to swallow the entire flock.
Evolution
Garchomp is the final evolution of Gible. Gabite evolves into this Pokémon at level 48. Garchomp can further evolve into Mega Garchomp by using its Garchompite.

Appearances
Anime
- Main article: Cynthia's Garchomp
Cynthia's Garchomp made her anime debut in Top- Down Training! where she battled Paul. Garchomp is Cynthia's main Pokémon and she releases her to assist Ash and the group to disband Team Galactic. In the Best Wishes series, she released her again to aid Iris' Dragonite, Ridley's Golurk and Cilan's Pansage to fight against Thundurus, Tornadus and Landorus in both their original and Therian forms while trying to thwart Team Rocket's Operation Tempest which proves successful when Ash's Pikachu destroys the platform that everyone is standing using its amplified Electro Ball.
Another Garchomp appeared in Pokémon Summer Academy. Professor Sycamore's Garchomp appeared in Lumiose City Pursuit! when Team Rocket made it out of control. She is Professor Sycamore's main Pokémon and serves as his research experiment at his lab. Later when James and Professor Sycamore fight for the Key Stone to make Garchomp mega evolves into a Mega Garchomp after they capture her along with her Mega Stone. Garchomp still chooses Professor Sycamore as her Trainer in her mega form and he uses this to blast Team Rocket away with its powerful abilities.
Trivia
- This Pokémon has the same star shape on its forehead as Sharpedo.
- Garchomp is the last non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon in Generation IV.
- Garchomp is the only Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon with a gender difference.
- Despite Pokédex entries stating that Garchomp can fly and that it can fly as seen in the anime and its running animation from Pokémon Sword and Shield, it cannot learn the move Fly. It can still learn Aerial Ace, however.
- From a competitive point of view however, Mega Garchomp's Mega Evolution is weaker than its regular form as its speed drops from 102 to 92, Rough Skin is replaced by Sand Force which is more situational and it loses the benefit of holding an item as Mega Stones have no other effect after a Pokémon Mega Evolves.
- Despite not being present in Pokémon Sword and Shield's base game, Mach Motors, a car company that offers Poké Jobs, is likely based on it, with their name referencing Garchomp's category and their logo resembling a Garchomp's head seen from above.
Origin
Garchomp is possibly based on the Velociraptor and a land shark, a fictional creature often found in popular culture. It also has some elements of fighter jets in its design. Mega Garchomp takes some inspiration from stereotypical bikers (the "teeth" lining the red part of its stomach and chest, combined with its dark body color, may be interpreted as a leather jacket, with the "teeth" being a zipper) and possibly praying mantises.
Etymology
Garchomp comes from gar (a carnivorous fish) gabugabu (to gobble), gaburito (to chew), gargantuan and chomp.
Gaburiasu comes from gabugabu (to gobble), gaburito (to chew), アース (āsu, earth), and Carcharias (a genus of sand tiger sharks and the species name for the great white shark).
