With new meta's coming into play that are heavy on abilities, Garbador is getting played. Garbador actually has a reasonable attack. What I'm wondering is if anyone has used him as an attacker?

I wouldn't call [P][C][C][C] for 60 and a couple of special conditions reasonable. It's completely dependent on Dimension Valley and DCE together for a two-turn setup and doesn't do enough damage to take out any notable Pokemon bulkier than Pumpkaboo/Froakie (and Golbat if you factor in poison damage, I guess). In addition to that, when you consider the decks that need Garbodor support most to function optimally - things like Darkrai-EX/Yveltal and Darkrai-EX/Giratina-EX - they don't want to be spending card slots on Psychic Energy to give Garbodor the option to be a last-ditch attacker because it hurts their setup consistency. As hilarious as it'd be to see Garbodor actually attacking, I don't think it's viable to build with that in mind.
