| Professor Sycamore debuted in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', when {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} brought an injured {{AP|Froakie}} to him. Sycamore treated Froakie while explaining that he used to be owned by Trainers but had severe behavioral problems which caused him to either abandon or be abandoned by his past Trainers. Sycamore also explained that his area of research was [[Mega Evolution]], and {{p|Garchomp}} was the Pokémon he was researching since she was capable of achieving it.
| | {{main|Professor Sycamore (anime)}} |

| |desc=Professor Sycamore's only known Pokémon is a {{p|Garchomp}} who lives at the lab with him as the main test subject as he researches Mega Evolution. When she was still a {{p|Gible}}, she rampaged through [[Lumiose City]], only to be stopped by Sycamore's assistant [[Alain]]. Alain took her to Sycamore's laboratory, where she then came to live. She gradually started to trust Sycamore and the other Pokémon at the lab, and after some time evolved into a {{p|Gabite}} and finally into Garchomp.
| |
| | |
| Despite her fearsome appearance, Garchomp is very gentle as shown by her concern for Froakie. She also enjoys company, and happily allows others to pet her. However, when Team Rocket attempted to capture Froakie, Garchomp defended it from Team Rocket's device which then attached itself to her. This caused her severe pain resulting in her going on a rampage through Lumiose City and heading to the top of Prism Tower.
| |
| | |
| Once there, she was carefully approached by Ash who refused to allow {{AP|Pikachu}} to use any moves against her since she couldn't help her behavior. Soon, with Ash and Froakie's help, the device was removed and Garchomp returned to her old self.
| |
| | |
| She appeared in flashbacks in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' and ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]''.
| |
| | |
| She reappeared in ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'' by Professor Sycamore's side whilst there was a TV report about Alain's battle with Mega Rayquaza, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.
| |
| | |
| She reappeared in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'', where she Mega Evolved into a Mega Garchomp thanks to a [[Garchompite]] that he found and a [[Key Stone]] that [[Meyer|Meyer/Blaziken Mask]] lent to him.
| |
| | |
| Garchomp was sent out to defend [[Mairin]] from a [[Team Flare]] Grunt's {{p|Skorupi}} in ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]''. She later Mega Evolved and joined the fight against Team Flare in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''.
| |
| | |
| She appeared again in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', during a flashback.
| |
| | |
| Garchomp's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Slash}}, {{m|Dragon Claw}}, {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, and {{m|Dragon Rage}}.}}
