WillFire Fang be strongerthanFlamethrower or Fire Blast? BecauseGarchomp has higher attackthanspecial attack.

Garchomp @ Life OrbNaive Nature- Dragon Claw- Earthquake- Fire Blast- Stone EdgeI don’t know what metagame you’re using this in, or if it is in-game or competitive, which is pretty important information as that would drastically change my choices (for example, an all-out attacking Garchomp like this one would be unviable in SM OU) but for the sake of answering I’ll optimize the set with the options you gave me.

Starting with the Fire moves, I chose Fire Blast because it is more effective than the other options. Its purpose is to hit Pokemon that Garchomp’s STAB moves can’t, and these Pokemon, such as Skarmory and Tapu Bulu, are generally hit harder by Special moves, which eliminated Fire Fang as a possibility. Flamethrower is simply unviable on its own due to its low base power, leaving Fire Blast as my choice. Because of this, I added a Life Orb to the set even though you did not ask for an item, as it is needed to boost Fire Blast’s power to an acceptable level. In addition, I chose Naive as it boosts Garchomp’s Attack while lowering its Special Defense, which isn’t too bad because it is already mediocre. Lastly, I chose Stone Edge over Rock Slide because, once again, Garchomp appreciates the extra power.

Flamethrower has 90 base power. Fire fang has 65 base power and 95% accuracy, so I’ll treat it as having 247/4 base power (which is 6595%). Fire blast has 110 base power and 85% accuracy, so I’ll treat it as having 187/2 base power (which is 11085%). The damage formula is as follows.damage=(2level/5+2)base powerattack stat/(50defense stat)+2sourceI’m going to assume opponents have the same defense stat as special defense stat, and that there are no other modifiers. The only thing I’m changing is the base power and the used attack stat.what we care about=base power*attack statIf you give it 252 Atk/4 SpA/252 Spe jolly, its attack stats come out to be 359 and 177. This is what the “what we care about” comes out to be when those numbers are put into the formula and rounded to the nearest integer.Fire fang: 22168Flamethrower: 15930Fire blast: 16549Using this spread, fire fang is the best of the three.If you give it 252 Atk/4 SpA/252 Spe hasty, its special attack goes up to 197. The “what we care about” for fire blast goes up to 18420, so jolly nature multiplies its special attack by 9/10. It would still be weaker than fire fang. However, the fire-weak Pokemon you’re likely to fight often have very good physical defense, which is why many Garchomps know fire blast despite it being weaker.
