Flavor

Flavor Text

: It can fly at speeds rivaling jet planes. It dives into flocks of bird Pokémon and gulps the entire flock down whole.
: The protuberances on its head serve as sensors. It can even detect distant prey.
: It flies at the speed of sound while searching for prey, and it has midair battles with Salamence as the two compete for food.
: Its fine scales don’t just reduce wind resistance—their sharp edges also cause injury to any opponent who attacks it.

: Garchomp makes its home in volcanic mountains. It flies through the sky as fast as a jet airplane, hunting down as much prey as it can.
: Garchomp is fast both underground and above. It can bring down prey and return to its den before its body has chilled from being outside.
