Re: TAKE NOTE: All in-game teams go here.
I wouldn't do it with Garchomp, because without setting up, it's not nearly as powerful as many people think. I always make sure to use something with a Sash in the Hall, so I would try to rework the team completely. Something worth remembering though; not counting ant Choice Scarf users, Salac Berry users, or multiple uses of Speed Boost (and Ninjask as a whole for that matter) or Agility, or moves of the nature, the highest Speed you'll see is 161. Electrodes are not trained with any Speed, and cap at 160 (This math is all assuming Level 50 though, so if it exceeds that, the numbers are different).
Your Garchomp now has 169 Speed (again, Level 50), but it has no priority moves, so guys like Weavile can abuse STAB Ice Shard and WILL 2HKO you. As long as they have the Sash to back themselves up, it doesn't matter what they do. I would invest into something like Infernape which can use Fake Out and Vacuum Wave, or even Ambipom which can use Fake Out+Technician. Trust me, that 4x weakness IS the problem, so you need a Pokemon without such an exploited opening.
How on earth am I supposed to get the gold symbol for the battle hall? I'm using a Naive Garchomp, with a perfect attack, speed, and HP IV, EV trained in speed and attack. Even with a yache berry, I either get swept by Weavile with a focus sash or a bulky poke like lickilicky with ice punch, if I don't freeze first. Garchomp knows Outrage, Earthquake, Crunch, and Fire Fang. Maybe there's still something fast out there with decent typing and coverage?.
