Garchomp may be one of the strongest Pokemon to use in Pokemon GO battles, but it still has its weaknesses.
Garchomp is a Dragon and Ground-type Pokemon that evolves from Gabite (a Pokemon that evolves from Gible). Its sharp scales are not just for reducing wind resistance; they also cause injury to any opponent who attacks it.
Garchomp is resistant to Rock, Poison, Fire, and Electric-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO. The max CP for this Dragon-type Pokemon is 3,962. Its strongest moves are Dragon Tail and Outrage. These two moves have the highest total DPS (damage per second) and are also the best moveset for PVP (player vs. player) battles.
Garchomp will be most effective against Pokemon such as Dratini, Dragonair, and Kingdra.
