What do you need

1 Catch Gibble at Wayward Cave (under the bike path).

2 Get Gibla with Adamant or Jolly Nature. The second will be better, since then Salamense, Pikachu and Celebi will not be faster than your Garchomp, and you will be able to overtake such a fast Pokémon like Gengar. You can get Gibl by catching him or growing him from an egg. By giving Gibel's parent an Everstone, you will increase your chances of getting a good nature. This is what you should get, since nature does not lower any of the ideal characteristics of the Garchomp.

3 Train him by fighting Pokémon that increase Attack and Speed so he has 252 Attack EVs and 252 Speed EVs. If you have enough money, you can increase the first 100 EVs with items such as Protein and Carbos.

4 Raise his level to 24 and teach him (through leveling up) strong skills. If you don't mind some extra workout, raise Gibla from an egg. His stats can be higher and he can learn a powerful skill like Thrash. If you place it in the development center, you will have to walk a lot, but your Pokémon will receive more EV points.

5 At level 24, let him evolve into Gabita.

6 Workout. When he is not in the center of development, train him in attack and speed. By fighting Pokémon with high attack or speed, you will increase Gabit / Garchomp's overall abilities.

7 Get him up to level 48 and teach him strong skills.

8 Improve it. At 49th level, Gabit will be able to learn the Dragon Rush skill, a very powerful but slightly imprecise skill. Upgrading at level 48 will give him a negligible amount of extra attack. And if you upgrade it at level 49, you will get the Dragon Rush skill earlier. The choice is yours.

9 Education. When you get the Garchomp, you will need to learn the skills you need to fight the Elite Four. It is highly recommended that you learn the following:

Earthquake (for the battle with Flint of the Elite Four).
Stone Edge (for the battle with Aaron of the Elite Four).
Dragon Claw, Dragon Rush or Outrage (main attack skills against the Elite Four). Dragonbreath and Dragon Pulse are optional, as Draco Meteor will neutralize Garchomp's special attack (but this can be easily avoided by simply replacing Garchomp with another Pokémon).
Fire Fang / Crunch (for the battle with Aaron and Lucian, respectively)

10 Give Garchomp some useful items such as a scarf or belt.

11 Fight with this Garchomp and you will win many more matches than before. If you place Tyranitar with Garchomp, Garchomp has a 20% chance to avoid being hit. The main thing - do not forget to take another Pokemon, which will not be affected by water and ice attacks. It's a good idea to give Garchomp a Yache Berry. This will allow Garchomp to survive most of the ice attacks.

Tips

As you develop Garchomp, try to fight these Pokémon. These Pokémon will give you a special attack bonus: Shinks, Luxio, Luxrey, Machop, Machoke, Machamp, Bibarel, Shover and Carnivine.
Don't train Garchomp in attacks like Surf. This skill is not affected by high attack rates.
For speed training, go west of the town of Eterna. There you will find a fisherman who has six Magikarps. After that, just apply your skill Vs. Seeker.
Teach Garchomp dragon and earth skills. Since Garchomp is dragon and earthen type, he will receive + 50% increase in attack.
Buy plenty of Full Restores and Revives if you can, as the worst is always to be expected.
Garchomp's final skills should be Earthquake, Dragon Claw, Stone Edge, and Outrage.
Sand storm activates his Sand Veil skill, making him harder to hit. Moreover, all his other attacks have at least 100 power.
It is not recommended to send Garchomp into battle with an ice Pokémon, as he is very weak against ice-type attacks.But if your opponent sends an ice Pokémon against Garchomp, you can still defeat him if your Pokémon has a Yache Berry item and you use the Swords Dance skill while they are swapping Pokémon.
