How long until Garchomp is shit?
when hail does super effective chip damage every turn
You're going to be waiting for a long long time then.

until mega flygon is announced :^)
Competitively? Or in general?
Because for the latter it already is.

However long it takes for Game Freak to make an ice equivalent of Stealth Rock

Shit you're right thanks

If power creep ever made Chomp shit, GF would just bite the bullet and give it Dragon Dance.
>>31612415
If stealth rock didn't kill ho oh, sneaky icicles wouldn't kill garchomp.
When a Fairy Type Pseudo comes out. Give it a bulk of 100/110/80 and a decent movepool, Garchomp falls to UU.

Ho-oh has Regenerator and Roost
>>31612415
This. Make it exclusive to Ice types too

Regardless of when, Garchomp becoming a bad Pokémon would be the proof that the game went completely shit.
Garchomp is one of the best built Pokémon, splashable and reliable, yet isn't overcentralizing (in doubles); if somehow this thing becomes bad, it'll be a sign that the game is way worse and the powercreep got out of hand.

When they make a dragon with 103 or higher speed and intimidate
Singles: when the speed creep starts up again (despite Gen 7's attempt to reverse it) and 105 becomes the new 100 like it was going to. Garchomp's special snowflake 102 base speed is part of why it's so good.
Doubles: when auto Misty and Grassy Terrain become more widespread (Aromatisse and Florges both only have one normal ability at the moment wink wink) - Misty weakens Dragon moves and Grassy weakens Earthquake. This VGC is the worst Garchomp has ever been desu.

>if somehow this thing becomes bad, it'll be a sign that the game is way worse and the powercreep got out of hand.
Exactly. If Garchomp somehow dives down to UU, then I will know that something is fucked about the competitive scene.
>We will live long enough to see garchomp not make the cut for OU
What a time to he alive
>>31612493
Either that, or Gamefreak becomes the most fucktarded retards to ever exist and nerfs Garchomp, which is something we must hope never happens.
I don't know. It WILL be before Tyranitar is shit though.

Isn't T-tar only relevant because Psychic types are more prominent nowadays?
