Trivia
- Garchomp bears the same star-shaped mark as Sharpedo.
- Garchomp has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other powerhouse evolutions. Garchomp is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including Mew, Celebi, Deoxys, Latios and Latias.
- Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn Fly. Similarly, though known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn Mach Punch or any other variation of Quick Attack, including Quick Attack itself, in general.
Origin
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between a European dragon and a hammerhead shark. It may have the genuine apperance of a land shark.
Name origin
Its name clearly comes from chomp.
Its German name, Knakrack, comes from knackig and Krach. Its French name, Carchacrok, comes from Carcharodon, scientific name of sharks, and croquant.
