AGmence is much better imo, in D/P every team will have a counter(usually Cresscelia) just for Garchomp

h0v0r, It's probably your computer. It always works for me.
 
Just to inform the guy who made this post, the guy who made the thread specified DRAGON TYPES.

Tiranitar its consider a kind of dragon, its not one but it is consider as one.
 
This is so hard... I love all of them! ; - ;

But I guess for me... no... GAH! Whatever. I love all three and I can't put I love one of them better then the other. End of story.

(BTW, This should go in PokePolls. lawl. XD)

If the three were pitted against each other, Garchomp would probably win since it is the fastest and, with good EVs and IVs, could probably take out either with Dragon Claw. However, my pick is Salamence. Like a few other people mentioned, it is more versatile than Garchomp, and I have always hated Dragonite. How can anything so heavy fly with such small wings?

Probably the best poll you've made so far.

Any 3 of them will do. I can't say which one's better.

Landshark is very deadly, Sand Veil can be a pain.
Dragonite is anti-metagame
Salamence has Intimidate and can stop Heracross from sweeping for a while.

Dragonite looks girly.

Salamence is ok, fills lots of rolls, has a decent ability.

Gablias/Garchomp/Landshark is my favorite of the lot, though.

I like how he looks, he's got the highest 'OH GOD DAMAGE' potential.

And he's a freaking landshark.

Sucks that G/S/C didn't have a 'Dragon' type, although Tyranitar basically fits that role. :[ Wish he had been Dragon/Ground or someshit. Or Dragon/Rock. ;_;

It would be sort of pointless to have a counter JUST for Garchomp, since, according to its lack of diversity, may not be used as often as you'd think. Although I did have Garchomp in mind when I chose Swampert for my competitive team. With enough Defense EVs, my Swampert can take a hit from Garchomp, then 1HKO Garchomp with a superpowered Snow Slide. Since Garchomp is limited to being a physical sweeper, one attack from it and Snow Slide has 120 base damage. And don't forget, Garchomp has a 4x weakness to ice attacks. So, even without any Attack EVs, an attack with 480 base damage from Swampert would pretty much kill Garchomp.

Garchomp with sandstorm going is a great combo, making it harder to kill with a bit of luck. If an ice move hits though...

STalking is a hobby.
I know just about everything there is about Sharks, so I would pick Garchomp, because he is cool looking, and more versatile than you guys think..
With Tyranitar on your team or anything with Sand Storm, his Evasion helps out greatly, not to mention that he has STAB Earthquake, and is a counter to Tyranitar, which is greatly abused.

If most of you that are choosing other Dragons are just choosing based on which of those 3 Dragons can win in a battle against each other, you are missing many other key factors..

Garchomp has excellent stats, having good defenses to back up attack that is not even 10 points away from Salamence.. and being the fastest Dragon wins me over, because I believe that Dragons are supposed to be fast already...
 
Dragonite is able to learn Ice-Punch which will surely take out Garchomp.

Who can say?
I prefer Garchomp. Its appearance has really grown on me. I just think it looks good. And I guess it is *just* a little faster.
