Garchomp (Japanese: ガブリアス Gablias) is a Dragon/Ground-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Garchomp appears to be a blue dragon crossed with a hammerhead shark. On each limb are four spikes, their use unknown, with a red belly with one yellow triangle near its pelvis. On each of its forelegs are a single, sharp claw, with two dorsal fin-like "wings" that it flies with. On the sides of its head are two extentions from a hammerhead shark, and resemble plane turbines.

Gender differences

The female has a full dorsal fin, while the male's has a triangular cut in it, like its pre-evolutions.

Special abilities

Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move Fly, it can still fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey.
