>>53900976Time for some Calculations to disprove that using Scarf because anyone using Band is objectively wrong.
252 Atk Gorilla Tactics Darmanitan-Galar Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Garchomp: 108-127 (25.7 - 30.2%) -- 0.7% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
Remember that Garm takes damage from recoil and rough skin losing a good 25% of it's health if it uses flare blitz. Not to mention it's even worse if stealth rocks are on the field because when you inevitably force it out it'll have to take a good chunk of damage.
252 Atk Gorilla Tactics Darmanitan-Galar Icicle Crash vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 59-69 (19.4 - 22.6%) -- possible 5HKO
Toxapex has regenerator meaning it can easily switch out and heal off the damage that Garm inflicts on it. Baneful bunker is also a thing.
Slowbro can do this as well Albeit without baneful bunker but in return you can easily gain momentum with teleport.
252 Atk Gorilla Tactics Darmanitan-Galar Icicle Crash vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Slowbro: 74-87 (18.8 - 22.1%) -- possible 5HKO
Even fully offensive dragonite can take multiple hits from it and hit it back hard in return
252 Atk Gorilla Tactics Darmanitan-Galar Flare Blitz vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragonite: 108-127 (33.4 - 39.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
This isn't even getting into the numerous other methods of dealing with Darmanitan Galar, I already mentioned Stealth rock but you also have scarf pokemon, Priority because Garm is pure ice and isn't defensively great.
252+ Atk Choice Band Rillaboom Grassy Glide vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Darmanitan-Galar in Grassy Terrain: 384-453 (109.4 - 129%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Scizor Can accomplish the same thing.
0 Atk Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Darmanitan-Galar: 264-312 (75.2 - 88.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
And that's without investment Needless to say Scizor also has the advantage that it can switch into Icicle crash without much difficulty as well.
