Garchomp Pros and Cons

Outstanding Performance After Set Up

Garchomp's Attack deals 100 damage with 2 Energy, making it one of the best in terms of damage efficiency for unconditional attacks. However, it requires two types of Energy, which introduces the risk of Energy bad hands.

Ability Helps Draw Essential Cards

Garchomp's Ability allows you to discard a useless card and draw one card per turn, which can be used to draw specialized Supporters like Cynthia to boost your attack. It can also help search for Cyrus or Sabrina, making it a very useful Ability.
