Is Garchomp good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Draconic Buster on Cynthia's Garchomp ex (Destined Rivals), doing 260 for 2 Energy. The bulkiest version is Cynthia's Garchomp ex with 330 HP, but it gives up 2 Prize cards when Knocked Out. 5 versions have free retreat, which makes Garchomp easy to switch in and out. Watch out for Grass attackers — that's its weakness.
