But if it misses Garchomp, or the Garchomp has a scarf itself....

Lots of Garchomps have paralysis support, making it's ability even more annoying.

And that's how you revenge kill it. How do you counter it? Haxorus is doomed if it swaps in on an Outrage or a Substitute.

I can't say I didn't anticipate Garchomp being sent to Ubers.

Salamence is most likely next - pity, really, I've been enjoying my WishMence.

Salamence isnt even as good as it used to be..Dragonite can actually be compared to it now with its new toys..and Moxie doesnt help it as much as Intimidate.

However Garchomp, I'll miss you...

hmm but to counter Garchomp you will need a higher speed than it.
Changing weather conditions or using trick room might work but still....
I'm still happy that it's banned even though I am raising one.

Doesnt even need to have good SpA..but it takes alot to outspeed those Choice Flawless 252 EV's Jolly Garchomps.

Dragonite and Garchomp do entirely different things.

Garchomp is pretty frail. There are a lot of moves out there that could take it down outside of ice moves. Very different to skarmory and ferrothorn who have a 4x weakness to fire but can take alot of damage outside of fire (which is no guarantee on ferrothorn, skarmory has sturdy)

^No... Base 108 HP, 95 Def, and 85 Defense? That's extremely tough for something that kills practically everything in front of them. And quite broken in OU, I think.
