Specials :GCB:
Neutral Special: Dragon Breath

Garchomp opens her mouth as it ignites, then spews a powerful stream of draconic flames from it.
Dragon Breath can be aimed diagonally upwards or downwards by tilting the Left Stick before use.
If Dragon Breath is used while mid-air (falling or gliding) he'll spew the draconic flames downward.
(Origin: Pokémon Stadium)


Side Special: Outrage/ Mud Shot
Garchomp covers her entire body in bright red energy, enlarging her claws, then performs a flurry dash.
By default she'll unleash five quick slashes in a row. But, if "B" is held, she unleashes ten slashes instead.
Input backwards and Garchomp quickly spews out a stream of mud which lowers the opponent's speed.
(Origin: Pokémon Stadium 2 & Pokémon Ruby/ Sapphire)


Up Special: Dragon Rush
Garchomp covers her entire body in draconic aura, then flies towards any chosen direction at high speed.
If Garchomp makes contact with any opponent in her way, she'll attack them by performing a quick lariat.
Using Dragon Rush while Garchomp is grounded makes her leap into the air and perform a diving stomp.
(Origin: Pokémon Diamond & Pearl)


Down Special: Scorching Sands
Garchomp strikes the ground with both her claws, causing a cloud of blazing sand to appear onstage.
The sand cloud burns any opponent inside and lingers onstage for 20 seconds after the move is used.
If Sorching Sands is used mid-air, Garchomp makes a ball of hot sand and sends it down with her tail.
(Origin: Pokémon Sword & Shield)


Shield Special: Dig/ Earthquake
Garchomp burrows into the ground as if she was swimming in water, but leaves her dorsal fin above.
Touch an opponent or press "A" and she'll perform an uppercut. She can also leap out of the ground.
In mid-air, Garchomp plunges to the ground, causing an earthquake around herself upon the landing.
(Origin: Pokémon Stadium)


Final Smash: Mega Draco Meteor
Garchomp takes on her Mega Evolution form, then roars furiously as she spews a sphere of draconic flames into the sky.
Afterwards, several meteors fall from the sky in random locations, exploding on contact with any plaforms or opponents.
The longer "B" is held, the larger and stronger Draco Meteor gets. After the moves used, Garchomp will return to normal.
