Dragon Rush Effect

Dragon Rush In-Game.jpg

Has the user back up to create distance before diving to attack in the designated direction, shoving opposing Pokemon. The user can use Dragon Claw while creating distance at the beginning of the move to create a combo attack, which strengthens Dragon Claw’s effect that decreases the opposing Pokemon's movement speed. This move reduces the damage the user receives while using it.

How to Use Dragon Rush

Combo with Dragon Claw

Pokemon UNITE - Garchomp Using Dragon Rush Claw Combo

Dragon Rush makes Garchomp jump into the air and dive forward while knocking back all enemies hit. Get this move if you want to focus on entering the fight quickly or forcefully starting a team fight.

This can be combo'd up well with Dragon Claw before the move actually hits setting up some great damage on a single opponent.

Push Back Opponents

Pokemon UNITE - Garchomp Pushing Back Blissey with Dragon Rush

Since Dragon Rush knocks back the target, it is great for putting opponents in a disadvantageous position for Garchomp to bombard with basic attacks. You can even push them away from goal zones, or even push them towards an allied one!
