Is sand tomb good for garchomp?

Yes, Sand Tomb is good for Garchomp in Pokémon Go PvP, primarily as a shield bait move that lowers the opponent's defense, enabling other attacks like Dragon Tail to hit harder and faster, though some prefer Earth Power for more direct damage; it's excellent in shielded scenarios but less effective in 0-shield situations compared to nukes like Earthquake.

Is Sand Tomb a good move for Garchomp Platinum?

I have always run Garchomp with Sand Tomb. I find the opportunity to bait shields is good, the reduction in defence is always helpful, and the damage adds up on the Metagrosses of the world. I can also -at least- drop Togekiss' defence before it kills him, allowing the follow-up mon to get revenge.

Is sandstorm a good move for Garchomp?

Sandstorm isn't a good move in general, spending a turn to throw out some residual damage and a chance of an opponent missing is worse than just killing them with a better move.

Is Sand Tomb a good move in Pokemon?

Sand Tomb is a situational move in Pokémon; it's generally considered weak for damage but great for strategy, especially in Pokémon GO PvP, acting as a shield bait and defense-lowering move, though its low power can make it less impactful than high-damage options like Earth Power for raw offense. Its key strength is lowering the opponent's Defense, making follow-up attacks stronger, but it does very little damage itself and can be easily dodged in main series games, making it a "meh" choice for PvE.

Is sand veil Garchomp worth it?

Sand Veil isn't very good. Smogon's Evasion Clause bans it entirely in some formats. Even if you're playing a format where it isn't banned, it's still bad, as your team has no sand setters whatsoever. Sandstorm is also generally a waste of a slot, so you would have to get a Pokemon that automatically sets it up.

Is a Sand Tomb better than an earthquake?

Sand Tomb has the advantages of being off-type with Dragon Tail and harder than the other options to dodge, but it's not very strong. Earth Power* hits quite hard, but its long animation speed is easily dodged. Earthquake and Fire Blast are both 1-bar charged moves that are extremely easy to dodge.

What's better, Dragonite or Garchomp?

Neither Garchomp nor Dragonite is strictly "better"; they excel in different areas, with Garchomp being a faster, hard-hitting physical attacker (Ground/Dragon) often preferred in-game for STAB Earthquake, while Dragonite (Dragon/Flying) offers incredible versatility, bulk, and its game-changing Multiscale ability, making it a premier bulky sweeper, especially with Extreme Speed priority in competitive play.

Zygarde is generally considered better than Garchomp in competitive play, especially its 100% Forme, due to superior bulk, access to setup moves like Dragon Dance/Coil, and powerful moves like Thousand Arrows that offer amazing utility, though Garchomp excels as a faster, hard-hitting attacker in its Mega form or with Swords Dance, with Zygarde 50% initially seen as a bulkier but less potent Garchomp before its true power in 100% form was realized. Garchomp often wins in raw speed and immediate power, while Zygarde shines as a bulky sweeper or tank.

Garchomp is popular due to its excellent Dragon/Ground typing, high offensive stats (Attack, Speed), surprising bulk for a sweeper, versatile movepool (Earthquake, Outrage, Fire Fang), and being a "pseudo-legendary" with a cool shark-like design, making it a dominant force in competitive play across many generations as a fast physical attacker or bulky pivot. Its balanced stats and ability to run various sets (sweeper, defensive, utility) make it a consistent threat that teams must prepare for, says the Pokémon Database and Reddit users.
