What are the best moves to teach for a garchomp in pokemon diamond?

Question

right now he has:

hyper beam

dragon claw

dragon rush

earthqake

i really like the move earthqake and im not going to deleat that move.i'v also used the very rare item ''max pp up''or whatever on earthqake move

Answer 1

I find the following moveset extremely useful for the battle frontier.
Garchomp lv 50
adamant nature
Held item: Life orb/choice band

Moves

*Outrage (via breeding)
*Earthquake
*a move to cover ice weakness. For me it is stone edge.
*Swords dance


Any Garchomp should at least know 1 dragon type move, Outrage is a horribly strong move for a perfect max attack EV Garchomp. It effortlessly 1Hko's many strong pokemon in the battle frontier. Yes it gives confusion but i actually prefer to 1Hko then risk being damage after a less powerful move like dragon claw.


As for the move that covers weakness i think like stone edge would be the best. Fire blast might be supereffective against ice. But it would fail against pokemon like Dewgong and Walrein.


Swords dance is just optional. If an opponent uses rest or if you feel like to, swords dance makes Garchomp even likelier to 1Hko opponents.

If you are just using Garchomp for non battle frontier use you might want to stick with

*Dragon claw
*earthquake
*Crunch
*Brick break

These moves are pretty strong and have a high chance of killing any regular opponent like pokemon from pkmn trainer Red.

Hope this helps
