Why Garchomp?

I was wondering why people use garchomp on their teams. Raw power is the obvious one, but that can be split up into several categories. Also, I really like the design of it, but I am not sure whether others agree or think it is ugly.
 
I like it because of its design, and of course it is a very powerful pokémon which can sweep through certain teams, but in the end I just prefer Flygon.
 
Garchomp is a nice substitute for Salamence. It is still weak to Ice, but it has immunity to electric and can learn Earthquake, and extremely versatile and powerful physical attack. I don't have one since I prefer Salamence, but each to their own.
 
I don't really like Garchomp. I can see why people have it on their teams, and I have one myself for Pokedex and all-dragon team (hehe), but its beastliness just makes me go for Dragonite, Salamence, and the others way more.
 
Outrage, good speed, outrageous attack, sand veil, Swords Dance, good stab, usable SAtk, Chain Chomp, ability to fit in nearly all teams. Variety as well.

Yeah, it a wonder why he's the most used pokemon in Shoddy.

From Smogon...
Garchomp is a fearsome beast indeed. The ability to outspeed base 100 Speed Pokémon along with excellent type coverage with its powerful STAB moves make it better than your average Pokémon. Even the bulkiest of Pokémon fear the Swords Dance version as a single critical hit or miss due to Sand Veil's Evasion boost in Sandstorm can spell disaster for any team. Choice Band and Choice Scarf Garchomp are capable of doing severe damage to the unprepared team, whereas Chain Chomp is going to catch you off-guard if you aren't familiar with it, which may very well cost you the game. Every team needs a reliable way to stop any form of Garchomp.

It does have a cool design. I like Flygon better though. I only use it because I wanted a OU Physical Sweeper on my team.

I think Garchomp is cool I go by looks NOT power. (I have a Lv 54 garchomp named Chompy 4)
 
Stardust said it best. Garchomp is simply spectacular in battle. It is incredibly damaging, and has great resistances. People may like it because of its design, but it's being used so much because of its power.
 
Personaly i think garchomp isnt cool or good
it can easily get stomped by a metagross, tyranitar, or dragonite
 
i agree with everyone who says its looks ugly
imo, its over-designed/too many ideas into one,
if it lost its hammer head shark head and its back fin, and some, if not all of its spikes, maybe replace the "hand-spikes" with claws or scythes/blades then itd lok a whole lot better

the only thing i like about garchomp is the way it runs, how it tucks its winged arms behind it, pretty much like a turkey-vulture/raptor
 
Well I don't use one. The only dragon I used was a Salamence in Emerald's BF.
I don't like to use to strong pokemon.

Metagross takes super effective hits from garchomps EQ, tyrantitar activates sand veil, thus making it harder for him to hit garchomp.

no say on dragonite, cannot dis dragonite!

Ok, everyone knows it's stats are beastly, that's why everyone uses it over flygon (unless you think flygon looks cooler, which BTW it does.)
