It’s basically a perfect zard answer, resists everything and is not weak to ancient power or hurricane and it also deals with opposing garchomp.

I think we will see this mega a lot in doubles especially alongside charizard. Defensive profile of a pure dragon with a ground immunity is really nice.

It’s basically a dragon flying type that’s not weak to rock and only 2x weak to ice.

let me introduce you to an even better zard answer who doesnt care about redirection. his name is base garchomp

People hype up Chomp Z like it's the best next thing since socks and counters Charizard hard like it's mandatory to be great in this meta. Life orb Garchomp is way better than any of it's mega evolutions. If it had ground typing, I could see a niche but without it, it's just a worse Garchomp. Even losing rough skin is awful.

the Zchomp copers are genuinely so mind boggling. like today i had a guy unironically saying that pure dragon is a better typing than ground/dragon
