Fur Coat Garganacl is great physically defensive wall, able to check many strong attackers such as Aerilate Dragonite, Beads of Ruin Baxcalibur, and Orichalcum Pulse Ceruledge. Salt Cure is Garganacl's main method of damage, as it aggressively accrues chip damage on would-be switch-ins like Corviknight, Iron Treads, and opposing Garganacl. Body Press makes use of Garganacl's high Defense stat, threatening Pokemon such as Kingambit and Chi-Yu, while Stealth Rock takes advantage of the free turns Garganacl gets from switching into Pokemon like Dragonite. Iron Defense can be used alongside Body Press for more safety against Swords Dance users like Ceruledge and Iron Hands. Protect is an option to scout Choice-locked foes and increase the amount of recovery from Leftovers. Since Fur Coat Garganacl is weak to many special attackers such as Iron Bundle and Flutter Mane, Pokemon that can switch into these threats, such as Ice Scales Corviknight, make great partners. Strong wallbreakers such as Choice Specs Iron Bundle and Baxcalibur are also good teammates, as they greatly appreciate the damage that Garganacl forces onto walls like Ice Scales Corviknight and Fur Coat Iron Hands.

Ice Scales Garganacl is an excellent specially defensive Pokemon, able to switch into threatening wallbreakers such as Desolate Land Iron Moth, Chi-Yu, and Aerilate Noivern. Salt Cure forces out the many Fire- and Flying-types that Garganacl switches in on, and its passive damage helps wear down the opposing team. Protect eases prediction against Choice-locked Pokemon and pairs well with Leftovers, while Iron Defense makes Garganacl an emergency check to physical attackers such as Aerilate Dragonite. Garganacl is weak to strong Water-types such as Iron Bundle, so teammates immune to Water such as Desolate Land Volcarona are good parters. Physically defensive Pokemon such as Fur Coat Clodsire are necessary teammates, as Garganacl is forced out by physical wallbreakers such as Great Tusk and Iron Hands. Strong offensive Pokemon such as Flutter Mane and Dragonite can take advantage of the damage Salt Cure forces onto defensive Pokemon, like opposing Garganacl and Fur Coat Hippowdon.
