Reception[ ]
Garchomp has been well-received by fans and critics, ranking among the top 10 Pokémon in a 2020 poll of Pokémon fans. An IT Media reader poll had Garchomp ranked number one among the Pseudo-legendary Pokémon, used for Pokémon whose stats add up to 600 in value, receiving more than 30 percent of the vote. Garchomp has been described as one of the series' most popular Pokémon by Inside Games writer Sawadee Otsuka.
It has been a prominent Pokémon in competitive Pokémon gameplay. Venture Beat staff discussed how its attack and speed were so prominent that it was banned in some competitions and limited only to the Uber tier, due in particular to the fact that players were designing their teams around handling Garchomp, with Venture Beat staff noting that team compositions were more interesting and diverse after its banning. It has generally been a popular Pokémon for competitive play; despite IT Media writer Dopey noting that its usage has decreased over time, they noted it was still useful. VG247 writer Cassandra Khaw attributed its strength to multiple factors, including its well-balanced high stats, Sand Veil ability, and its type combination of Ground and Dragon. Hardcore Gamer writer Ryan Cartmel noted that despite Ground and Dragon's weakness to Ice types, its stats and Rough Skin ability made it a threat that any team had to be able to answer. He also felt that its design is quality, stating that it conveys that "it's here to mess up your day."
Trivia[ ]
- Garchomp is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have gender differences.
