Cynthia's Garchomp (Japanese: シロナのガブリアス Shirona's Gaburias) is Cynthia's main battling Pokémon in the anime, manga and games.
In the anime
Cynthia's Garchomp first appeared in Top-Down Training where she was seen battling Lucian's Bronzong. Even though Bronzong was shown to be a powerful Pokémon in the battle against Dawn's Buizel in An Elite Meet and Greet!, the Bronze Bell Pokémon's Flash Cannon barely did any damage to Garchomp, who knocked it out with Giga Impact. In the same episode, she battled against Paul when Cynthia accepted Paul's challenge for a full battle. Once again her incredible resistance was showcased, as Cynthia allowed it to absorb Chimchar's Fire Spin and Weavile's Blizzard, before knocking out the former with Dig and the latter with Dragon Rush. It easily overpowered his Murkrow, with Giga Impact easily besting Sky Attack, before fighting against his powerful starter Pokémon, Torterra. Torterra managed to inflict damage on Garchomp, immobilised from Giga Impact, with Giga Drain. When it tried to follow up with Frenzy Plant, however, Garchomp pried apart the roots and knocked Torterra out with a Brick Break to the head.
Garchomp appeared again in Losing Its Lustrous and Double Team Turnover!, where she was used in battling Team Galactic's Pokémon. Its strength was demonstrated in its simple defeat of Saturn's Bronzor. She also fought Mars' Purugly and Saturn's Toxicroak with help from Ash, Dawn, and Cynthia's Gastrodon. However, they ultimately failed to prevent Team Galactic obtaining the Lustrous Orb.
Garchomp also briefly appeared in Aiding the Enemy! where she battled against Aaron's Drapion on television. Whilst the winner of that bout is unclear, because Cynthia's Gastrodon was her final Pokémon against Aaron, it is clear that one of his Pokémon succeeded in defeating Garchomp.
She also appeared along with Cynthia in a cameo appearance in the beginning of Arceus and the Jewel of Life battling Palmer's Milotic.
She also appeared along with Cynthia in The Battle Finale of Legend!, where she easily knocked out Jupiter's Skuntank with a single Giga Impact and restrained Jupiter herself. She then bore Dawn's Piplup into battle against Team Galactic, and used Draco Meteor to help attack the Red Chains holding Dialga and Palkia.
Garchomp was shown on TV winning a close battle between Flint's Infernape in Memories are Made of Bliss!. Infernape fought well but was unable to withstand Dragon Rush and was defeated.

Garchomp in Pokémon Adventures
Garchomp is Cynthia's strongest Pokémon and her main battler. Garchomp is well trained enough that she can battle even without her Trainer giving her commands. She battled Cyrus and his Pokémon in the Celestic Ruins but he managed to outsmart her and use her moves against her for his own gain. She was later used against him in the Galactic HQ holding where she fought his Gyarados, despite using her strongest moves, her inexperience with her newest move, Draco Meteor, caused it to be weaker than it should have been and thus was unable to defeat him. After Cyrus escaped, she took Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to the Spear Pillar for the final battle against Team Galactic.
