Tech: This next Pokemon starts off as Gible, to Gabite, and finally to Garchomp, the Mach Pokemon.
Bullet: It just so happens to be both the fastest pseudo legendary, and my favorite. I mean, it's a freaking land shark. What's worst than a regular shark? One that can breath on land and chase you at fast speeds.
