What type is Garchomp?

Garchomp is a dual Dragon and Ground-type Pokemon. This specific typing is only shared with Vibrava, Flygon, and Zygarde.

Dragon-type Pokemon are tough on their own thanks to their high HP and Sp. Attack Stats, so players should be prepared for a long battle. When pairing Dragon with Ground-type, Garchomp gains some weaknesses and resistances to keep in mind.

All Garchomp weaknesses

As a dual Dragon and Ground-type Pokemon, Garchomp is weak against Dragon, Fairy, and Ice-type attacks. Since both Dragon and Ground types are weak against Ice-type moves, Garchomp has a double weakness (x4) against Ice-type damage.

It’s pretty clear that Ice-type Pokemon are the safest bet here if you’re looking to do massive damage. Fairy-type Pokemon can also work wonders thanks to their immunity to Dragon-type attacks.

All Garchomp resistances

As a dual Dragon and Ground-type Pokemon, Garchomp can resist Poison, Rock, and Fire-type attacks and it’s immune to Electric-type moves.

As you can see, Garchomp can’t resist too many types, but receiving neutral damage from most types having lots of HP can result in a long and arduous battle.

To beat Garchomp in Pokemon games without much trouble you should rely on Ice and Fairy-type Pokemon that know Ice and Fairy-type moves to take advantage of the STAB. You’ll want to end the fight as quickly as possible to avoid any powerful moves from Garchomp.
