Garchomp is a powerful, flying shark-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fourth generation games. It is the third and final form in Gible's evolutionary line. Garchomp is also known as the signature Pokémon of Cynthia.

Information

Garchomp evolves from Gabite at Level 48. It looks like a jet plane when it folds up its body and extends its wings, and it even flies at sonic speed like a jet fighter plane. Garchomp's body is also covered in scales that reduce drag, which renders it capable of flying at such high speeds. Garchomp never allow their prey to escape. When a Garchomp flies at full speed, its wings create blades of wind that slice through nearby trees.
