>>28747023>>28747326It sounds like you view Scarf as a sort of "patch" for low speed. While it can be, it's not necessarily the case.
Garchomp's got a really damn nice speed tier, but you can almost always use more speed. Garchomp is actually a well known scarf user, given it's unusual 102 base speed. What's nice is that this allows it to outspeed other Scarf users or +1 speed base 100's (and lower), which is really common. Megazard X, Volcarona, Gyarados, Hydreigon, maybe even an uncommon Kyurem-B set. Just a few examples.
Furthermore, there's also common non-Scarfed pokemon that do reach above Garchomp's speed tier. Keldeo (if Timid), Lati@s, M-Metagross, Raikou, Thunudurs. There's a host of other Pokemon that might not threaten Garchomp directly, bu Garchomp's bulk is still good enough with little investment for a sweeper that it can serve it's purpose.
