Garchomp (/ˈɡɑːrtʃɒmp/ ⓘ; 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 a hammerhead shark. In Pokemon X and Y, it was given a Mega Evolution in the form of Mega Garchomp. It received a second Mega Evolution in the form of Mega Garchomp Z, introduced in the spin-off game Pokémon Legends ZA. Garchomp is notable for being a Pokémon in the team of the Pokémon Champion(and game final boss), Cynthia, serving as the character's "ace", or most powerful, Pokémon.
