EVs for my Garchomp?

Jan. 15, 2015

I am currently in the final stages of building my ORAS WiFi Singles team, however only one Poké remains to be EV trained: Gible. I plan on using Garchomp as my anti-Talonflame, using him to tank Brave Birds. However, I need to know theminimum amount of EVsnecessary for Garchomp to be 2HKOd by BB. This is in case Stone Edge misses the first time, then I can survive a second attack and crush the fire-falcon. Calculate it as if the Talonflame has maximum Attack EVs and IVs, rocks are up on my side, and the foe has a Choice Band. ‘Chomp has Rough Skin. Thank you!

And no, he will not be Mega.

Garchomp isn’t the best Pokemon to take Brave Birds from anything. Buuuut suit yourself.

252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 244+ Def Garchomp: 177-208 (42.1 - 49.5%) – guaranteed 3HKO.

This is the minimum. After Stealth Rocks, Brave Bird is back to a 2HKO.Here’s thePS! Damage Calculatorfor future reference
