Garchomp (/ˈɡɑːrtʃɑːmp/ ⓘ; Japanese: ガブリアス, Hepburn: Gaburias) is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise, and the evolved form of the Pokémon Gabite, which evolves from Gible. First introduced in the video games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, they have later appeared in multiple games, including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise.
Classified as a Dragon and Ground-type Pokémon, Garchomp is a creature that combines the design of a dinosaur, European dragon, and hammerhead shark. In Pokemon X and Y, Garchomp was given a Mega Evolution in the form of Mega Garchomp. Garchomp is notable for being a regular Pokémon in the team of the Pokémon Champion, Cynthia, contributing in part to Cynthia being such a dangerous opponent.
