Garchomp (Japanese: ガブリアス Gablias) is a dual-type Dragon/Ground Pokémon. Being such a powerful Pokémon, it is deemed pseudo-legendary.
Biology
Physiology
A Garchomp is a fierce and predatorial dragon, known for its scales that have medicinal properties that can heal most illnesses.
Garchomp are dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers from the middle of its abdomen, to its jaws, and then to the undersides of its arms. Underneath the red is a gold diamond shape as well a gold cross on its snout; which gives Garchomp a close resemblance to Sharpedo. Garchomp have appendages that resemble jets, planes and hammerhead sharks; its four fins, one on each arm, one dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a shark tailfin; horns that resemble jet/plane engines rest on its head, resembling a hammerhead. It has spikes on its hind limbs and arms as well as sharper claws than its previous evolution. It's eyes have black retinas and gold colored iris'. Its pupils have shrunk.
Gender differences
A male has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the female does not. This may signify that male Garchomp fight more, leaving scars.
Special abilities
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move Fly, and cannot possess Levitate it can still fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey.
Behavior
Garchomp has a habit of digging up gems and hoarding them in its nest, which may be a reference to the fictional dragon Smaug. It is also known to be very tempermental and violent.
Habitat
Judging from its classification, it likely lives in warm caves much like its pre-evolution, Gible.

- Garchomp has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other powerhouse evolutions. Garchomp is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including Mew, Celebi, Deoxys, Latios and Latias.
- Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn Fly. Similarly, though known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn Mach Punch or any other variation of Quick Attack, including Quick Attack itself, in general.
- Of the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Garchomp has the lowest Attack stat. Because of this, it is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon whose Attack stat cannot exceed 400 at Level 100, with a maximum of only 394.
Origin
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between an European dragon and a hammerhead shark. It may have the genuine apperance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearence of a jet.
Name origin
Its English name clearly comes from chomp. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ gabugabu, the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと gaburito, bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く gaburitokamitsuku, sink one's teeth into, and アース āsu, earth.
Its German name, Knakrack, comes from knackig and Krach. Its French name, Carchacrok, comes from Carcharodon, scientific name of sharks, and croquer.
