Drift the Garchomp

Drift is a male Shiny Garchomp and a minor character in The Legend of Fox the Brave and Legends of the Megastone Rogues. He wears a Garchompite around his neck, despite hating his coloring as a Mega Garchomp. He is a Rockhead Village native, and friends with Brikore the Sandslash, Shelmore the Blastoise, and Zorro the Zorua.

Appearance: Drift is a Shiny Garchomp. Like all male Garchomp, he has a notch in the fin on his back. He has a dusty blue coloring with a ruddy reddish-coloring on his chest and belly and a roughly shark-like body.

--

Personality: Drift's personality varies in his appearances. As a Gible, he was friendly and carefree, while as a Garchomp, he gained a more serious and fierce personality, but still retained his carefree self.

--

Abilities: Drift has the Rough Skin Ability, but when he Mega Evolves, he gains the Sand Force Ability, which strengthens Rock, Ground, and Steel-Type moves in Sandstorms. His moveset is Dual Chop, Draco Meteor, Dragon Rush, and Iron Head. He can fly, like all Garchomp(despite being a Ground-Type not a Flying Type). He has a very powerful roar, able to incapacitate his enemies with it. He also has a powerful bite, despite not knowing Roar or Crunch. He is skilled with hand-to-hand(or in his case claw-to-hand or fin-to-hand) combat, which is strengthened when he Mega Evolves.
