Again, getting yourself a Garchomp in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is easy. To evolve, the Pokémon simply requires that you EXP grind and level them up. Gable evolves into Gabite at Level 24, then Gabite evolves into Garchomp at Level 48.

If you're even luckier, the Gable or Gabite you catch in the Grand Underground may already be levelled. In this case, feed them a Rare Candy or have them lead a few battles, and they'll evolve in no time at all.

That's how easy it is to add a Garchomp to your party in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl!
