I used the bot a fair amount pre-Frown Tundra so I thought I’d do what little I can to contribute and suggest a mon.

I am well aware that garch is generally inferior to lando-t but in reverse engineering a team from the Players’ Cup 2 Latin America Top 16 winners’ side, I started using garch assuming this players’ cup head knew something I didn’t. In keeping garch, I realized it had some merit, especially in the context of the team. The team is indeedeef-hatt-koal-venu-taka-garch. It consists of three distinct but intertwining modes (indeedee-hatt/taka, torkoal-venu, indeedee-garch). Garchomp makes sense in the context of the team because it can swords dance next to redirection and then start firing off rock slide and orb-stab-single target-dragon claw to try to pick up one ko per turn or take huge chunks out of bulky/maxed mons without having to burn max, but it makes for an excellent max target if you’re boosted up and can assure that you don’t need to max something in the back. It can also comfortably outspeed base 100 with max speed. It’s simple, but it does some things lando-t might have trouble doing in firing off super powerful single target attacks w/o max and garch also doesn’t set off competitive or defiant on entry. Does very well against some prominent threats like Moltres, Thundurus, Heatran, etc.
A little lengthy, but I wanted to assert that garch is not entirely outclassed, so it might pay to pick one up case it gets added to the giveaway roster. Aside from that, it’s a fan favorite and a non-legendary so I thought it would be a fun and sensical pick for the giveaway. Besides, I believe I saw other more relevant suggestions like Metagross being discussed already.
