Viable Options for Garchomp SV?

See, I want to run a Garchomp deck that isn't Garchomp C, so I decided to go ahead and build a deck around the from Supreme Victors. The problem is, I can't think of anything to run it with. So far, I have:
Garchomp/Ampharos Prime
Garchomp with Breloom tech

Anybody else have any ideas?
 
Magnezone SF is an interesting option - the lightning one that is. You can use it with the metal DP version and the LVX to get energy manipulation. You use Cyber Shock to get something paralyzed in place and use Gyro Ball to kill them off - and then you send out your Garchomp SV to sop up the hit and bounce energy back, reducing their fighting chance, potentionally letting Garchomp take prizes as well.
 
I have tried it with machamp and it works pretty well...

If not just like Bug Master said with a 1-1-1 Nidoqueen
 
Cursegar is pretty much auto loss in this case, I've played Garchomp SV for brs cities and regionals. Its nearly impossible to get set up under the spiritomb lock. Try running it as speedchomp, playing it with lots of bts and draw cards.
 
Run it with 2-1-2 queen. just do it.

Cursegar kind of demolishes you... you are forced to spam Speed Impact on their switch-ins most of the time. On one hand, you charge up marginally faster than they do (you can DCE, they cannot). On the other hand, though, getting KOs on Gengar is nearly impossible. A Shuckle will really hurt you.
