Sand Attack slow effect on opponent and speed buff can help you clear out a few Pokemon early on. It is advisable to use Sand Attack to boost Garchomp's attack speed and get its Boosted Attack to a full stack so you can quickly farm Wild Pokemon and level up. This can be combo'd up well with Bulldoze which can be useful when fighting in a crowd.

Get out of Tricky Situations
