Garchomp SV and not SP

Garchomp is pretty good now. Claydol gave it the consistency it needed, and it top cut at Worlds last year. After the MD on rotation, Claydol was rotated, so it had some late game problems, even with a heavy Uxie line. But I feel plain Garchomp with maybe 1-1 Lux X and some Lost Removers will make it a good deck.
Also, when BW comes, this'll be one of the best decks to play IMO. (Pokemon Catcher and Crash Hammer)
If you're not playing them for states, keep them for when BW comes. You wont regret it.

I think pairing it with a healer (Serperior when it comes out) is honestly the best way to go. You can tank them and switch them around so they never die. It'll be a better deck when B/W comes out (and possibly even better after the Rotation).

@Tyraniking: Unfortunately, once B&W is out, Trainer lock will be even more popular, which means cards like Crash Hammer and Pokemon Catcher will be almost unplayable. It's unfortunate because I was going to run Garchomp after rotation, but I don't think I will anymore.
Well, I'm no too certain as to whether or not trainer lock will be that popular... Remember that the main reason people have for playing a trainer locking strategy today, is the utterly broken card Gengar from SF. With him rotated, I don't see too many decks with the lock-engine doing too well - skipping trainers for your own part hurts too much. Of course if you use Gothruzelle on the other hand...
Well, I guess there's Gothitelle, but any good Garchomp SV list will run Cyclone. As for Vileplume, well, you're just going to have to deal with it or drag it up with something like Blaziken.
