Garchomp is a Tier 3 Raid Boss in Pokémon Go. It is a draconian Pokémon that is tall and has large fins along with smaller sharp spikes. It also has horn-like growths that come out from its head which makes it look similar to a hammerhead shark. You won’t have much of a problem if you are using the right counters. So in this Pokémon Go guide, we are going to talk about the best ways and counters using which you’ll be able to defeat Garchomp in the best way possible.
Garchomp in Pokémon Go
Garchomp is a dual Dragon and Ground-type Pokémon with a Raid Boss CP of 3600. It is weak towards Ice, Dragon, and Fairy type attacks. If you are a high-level player with the best counters, you’ll be able to fight against Garchomp all by yourself. But if you are a low-level player, I’ll recommend you to go in groups of no less than two to three players into the battle.

Both of them have a combined DPS of 50.2 and it is also the best combination of moves that you can use in both Pokémon Gyms and PvP battles.
