Best moveset for PvP

The best moveset for Mega Garchomp in Pokemon Go’s PvP consists ofMud Shot as the Fast Move and Outrage as the Charged Move.

Even though Dragon Tail is more powerful, it is also more expensive than Mud Shot. The Ground move – besides being cheap – has fast energy gain, so you’ll access your Charged Move early on.

Going for a Dragon Charged Move will allow you to expand your coverage while still having STAB in both, so use Outrage. This is an outstanding cheap nuke and one of the best Dragon-type attacks in the game.

For those who can afford a secondary Charged Move, Earth Power is the ideal choice, as it is cheap, deals great damage, and even has a 10% chance of decreasing the target’s Defense stat by 20%.

Best moveset for Raids

Mega Garchomp’s best moveset for Raidswill depend on your opponentand whether you’d prefer to use this Pokemon as a full-on Ground or Dragon attacker.

If you plan on going as a Dragon-type attacker, you’ll have to go withDragon Tail as the Fast Move and Outrage as the Charged Move.This combination has 21.39 DPS and a total damage output of 529.1.

These are the only two Dragon-type moves Mega Garchomp has, so there’s no other way to play it. However, both are – as mentioned above – magnificent choices.

To use Mega Garchomp as a Ground-type attacker, you’ll have to switch toMud Shot as the Fast Move and Earth Power as the Charged Move.This has a 19.92 DPS and a total damage output of 492.6.

While Mud Shot is the only Ground Fast Move, there are three Charged ones. Sand Tomb is awful, so don’t bother, and between Earthquake and Earth Power, the first one is too expensive.
