I'm sorry but how does it make sense for this thing to live in a frozen tundra?

There's billions upon billions of endothermic reptiles. They just happen to have feathers and beaks. Of course garchomp is a fantasy Monster native to the coldest known region in the series so it can obviously be inferred as cold adapted

This isn't an anti-Garchomp thread, OP's just wondering why Garchomp can only be found in the snow when it's Pokedex entries say it's said to only make its home in volcanic mountains like Stark Mountain or Mount Chimney.

Hisuian Growlithe can swim in water despite being 4x weak to it. I think it's the attack form of the element that fucks pokemon up, not the natural element.

it says it got swept out to sea right there you dipshit, of course they aren't gonna say it drowned explicitly. Growlithe itself swam from Ginkgo Landing to Firespit Island (something the humans needed a boat or Basculegion to do) and was just fine afterwards. Quit it with your headcanon.

And why not? The game talks about death and how you're going to be killed multiple times, then talks about how the pup is traumatized by his father's death. Drowning is somehow too much?

Pokemon types are commonly elemental in nature, there's an actual energy to them that transcends their counterparts in nature. Snow or ice isn't the same as an attack using Ice-type energy. It's why rain doesn't do damage to Rock, Ground, and Fire types. This applies to other types as well like Dragon or Ghost.

>>49629383
Using a vague "death" or "you might die" is a far cry from specifying how they'd die. You'll notice that they never say whether you'll get torn apart by wild Pokemon, or starve from a lack a food, or fall from a high place and perish when detailing how you wouldn't survive on your own out in the wild at the beginning of the game.
Still, even if this wasn't the case, what the fuck else are you supposed to surmise other than it was the strong waves that caused Arcanine's death when there's, again, an example of Growlithe swimming a long distance and coming out just fine?

The nature of the characters providing the exposition plays into it too. Cyllene presents a hard front, thus doesn't sugar-coat her words. paulina is still mourning Lord arcanine, thus avoids using words of finality to explain the events ("swept out to sea and giving its life" instead of "overwhelmed by a riptide and drowned").
Fuck me, have you no empathy to realise that?

No, it has been specified how certain Pokemon have died, the ghost Marowak was killed by Team Rocket, Alder's first Pokemon died of an illness and AZ's Floette died in the Kalos war. That's just the ones that are on the top of my head, in reality there could be far more.

You're going to have to catch the pre-evolutions either way, but it spawns in the last area and you can catch an Alpha Gabite that spawns right next to a Gible in the area before it.

Ignoring that, you're right in that they've stated exactly how people/Pokemon have died before...which is still exactly what they did with Arcanine, because as an anon said above, being swept out to sea is a softer way of saying someone or something drowned. Either way, you're argument of it dying because it touched water and not because external factors pulled it under don't add up.
Also you still haven't touched upon the whole Growlithe thing.

Thats an exception, most sharks are cold blooded and prefer the tropics. The sleeper shark has a special adaptation to the cold. I don't think garchomp is based on the sleeper shark.

Nigga are you proposing birds are reptiles or are you talking about dinosaurs? Either way you are probably wrong cause the endothermic proposal of dinosaurs (which is still discussed today) is probably related to their size and the r squared law.
