>>56213172>Garchomp was given a perfectly optimized stat spread right off the gate, along with an excellent typing and every move it could want except for Dragon Dance and even without it was fucking uber in its home gen, Uber viable in the next, and an OU titan until Gen 9 powercrept 99% of older mons and even now its still too strong for UU. Its the ace of the most respected champion (with the combined popularity of Cynthia and Garchomp propping both parties up exponentially to the point where they are the most iconic non-KANTOOO duo in the franchise) And was even given a Mega form (effectively a super saiyan power up that turns Pokemon into Gods), Keep in mind, the trainer who gave out the Garchompite stone is a fucking Flygon user, the original Ground/Dragon type before Garchomp buried it >Goodra was given a weird-ass stat spread that tries to be defensive but has mid HP and laughable physical defense, along with no healing or support to compliment it so all it can really do to love tap foes with its Okish Attack and Special Attack. Its a monotype dragon introduced in the same gen that BFTO out of Dragons with the Fairy. The champion who's team it's on is a complete laughing stock. and its didn't even get the honor of being Diantha's ace, that went to Gardevoir instead, who got a Mega to boot. And for its troubles, it got no power up form, just a depressed cousin, Goodra itself wasn't isn't buffed and is still a complete shitter. If anything the depressed cousin just highlights the original Goodra's flaws even more. yeah, they REALLY hate Sinnoh.
