Biology

Physiology

Garchomp appears to be a blue dragon crossed with a hammerhead shark. On each limb are two spikes, their use unknown, with a red belly with one yellow triangle near its pelvis. On each of its forelegs are a single, sharp claw, with two dorsal fin-like "wings" that it flies with. On the sides of its head are two extensions from a hammerhead shark, and resemble plane turbines.

Gender differences

The female has a full dorsal fin, while the male's has a triangular cut in it, like its pre-evolutions.

Trivia

  • Garchomp has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other powerhouse evolutions. Garchomp is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including Mew, Celebi, Deoxys, Latios and Latias.
  • Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn Fly. Similarly, though known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn Mach Punch or any other variation of Quick Attack, including Quick Attack itself, in general.

Origin

Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between a European dragon and a hammerhead shark. It may have the genuine apperance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearence of a jet

Name origin

Its English name clearly comes from chomp. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ gabugabu, the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと gaburito, bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く gaburitokamitsuku, sink one's teeth into, and アース āsu, earth.

Its German name, Knakrack, comes from knackig and Krach. Its French name, Carchacrok, comes from Carcharodon, scientific name of sharks, and croquer.
