How to Find (& Catch) Garchomp in Pokémon Crown Tundra DLC

Pokémon Sword & Shield has brought back many fan favorites for it’s Crown Tundra DLC, including the all powerful Garchomp. This ferocious land shark was introduced back during Diamond & Pearl in the fourth generation and has been a threat ever since. It’s said that they’re as fast as a jet plane and can fell obstacles with ease using their sharp scythed wings.

It’s no surprise that Garchomp has been a common pick for champions and competitive teams. Their massive attack stat and competent speed help them easily overwhelm their opponent’s, striking them down with destructive moves like Earthquake and Outrage. Their Ground typing also makes them useful on sandstorm teams, along with their Sand Veil ability that buffs their evasion while in a sandstorm. Here’s a look at where to find them in the Crown Tundra expansion.

Finding and Catching Garchomp in the Crown Tundra

This time around, Garchomp is actually a version exclusive. This means that it can only be found in one version of the game, in this case being Shield version, while it’s counterpart, Salamence, is found in the same place in the other version. Sword players who want one will have to get it in a trade from a friend. Gible, the first form of Garchomp, is found in a few starting areas of the Tunnel to the Top which is located in the northernmost part of the map. To find it’s evolved form, players will have to venture deeper. This entire cave is set up like a maze, and Garchomp is found in the deepest reaches. Once the cave is entered, take a right and go up the hill. From there, continue down the fork in the road that isn’t a dead-end into the next room (which should be second to the right). Afterward, travel on the right-most path that heads downhill and follow it until reaching the overlook that puts the giant Dyna Tree in sight. This appears like nothing more than a cliff at first glance but head right to find a small alcove that will lead to a hidden cave. This room will have a Garchomp patrolling around every day.

Catching Garchomp might seem daunting due to its impressive statline, but there are a few tricks to make the process easier. Though this landshark can dish out a lot of damage, it can easily be countered. Most of their moves are Ground and Dragon-type, so Flying and Fairy Pokémon, who resist those types entirely, are great choices for fighting them. Togekiss, which is both resisting types, is a suitable choice that Garchomp will have trouble hurting. In case a Flying-type isn’t brought, make sure that Pokémon knows Protect, or a move like it. Garchomp has a chance to know Dig, which is a 2 turn move that is extremely easy to predict. As they’re Ground types, Garchomp is immune to Electric moves. This includes Thunder Wave, so Stun Spore is the only surefire way to inflict paralysis on it.
