Mega Garchomp is a dragon/ground-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 700 BST it is a legendary-grade total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 92) and a physical attacking profile. Its Sand Force ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Mega Garchomp. Build around what Mega Garchomp actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot. Compare this profile against your roster's shared weaknesses in the MetaMons team builder, where the 18-type coverage heatmap reads the whole team, not one slot.
