Battle Center Discussion #6 - Garchomp
Hey guys, and welcome to the belated sixth instalment of the BCD - the Battle Center's weekly discussion thread for different aspects of the Metagame. New topics will generally be posted whenever the last one dies down, ranging from Pokemon, to moves, abilities, strategies and more. At the end of the week, the old thread will be unstickied, but people are still free to post in it, and a new one will take its place. If you have any suggestions for future discussion topics, post in the thread or PM a Battle Center Moderator.
This week's discussion topic is the possible unbanning of Garchomp. With the release of Rough Skin, Smogon's suspect testing of it and how much the metagame has changed since it was banned mean it could be allowed back in OU. Would you welcome it? What sets would be best? How would it shape the current metagame?
