| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
| Soft Sand | When held, the power of Ground-type moves is increased by 1.2x. |
Garchomp should be holding Soft Sand to get a stronger Attack power with Ground moves. Choice Band is not useful because it uses only two moves, Swords Dance and Earthquake.
To increase the power for a single shot, use Swords Dance three times first. If your allies are cheering "Go All Out!" then you can increase your Attack power to 6 levels.
When Garchomp is enhanced, wait for your ally to lower the defense of the opponent. In the meantime, you can use Hang Tough! or Heal Up!. When the defense has been lowered, attack with Earthquake to reduce the enemy's HP in a big blow.
