PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Dragon Tail should be paired with Outrage for the flagship Dragon-type moveset.
  • Mud Shot is recommended if Garchomp is to be used as a Ground-type attacker.
  • Earth Power is better than Earthquake for PvE offense, but is more limited in accessibility. 
  • Fire Blast and Sand Tomb have no offensive relevance.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Dragon Tail does thrice as much damage per hit as Mud Shot.
  • Outrage is Garchomp's best 2-bar charged move. At least this can keep the attacker honest.
  • Sand Tomb has the advantages of being off-type with Dragon Tail and harder than the other options to dodge, but it's not very strong.
  • Earth Power hits quite hard, but its long animation speed is easily dodged. 
  • Earthquake and Fire Blast are both 1-bar charged moves that are extremely easy to dodge.

PVE Overview

One of the greats, Shadow Garchomp is a mammoth Pokemon in terms of sheer power and utility. As a Dragon attacker, this monster has DPS on a par with the big-name Shadow Dragons with the added advantage of additional TDO and a potentially useful sub-typing. As a Ground attacker, it stands as a rival for the crown barring Mega Evolutions and Primals. If you manage to score a good Shadow Gibble, then get ready, because this monster looms large in your future.
