PVE Overview

The very embodiment of patience and its payoff, behold the fruit of 400 Magikarp candies. Gyarados's stats definitely aid it stand out, boasting dandy Atk and decent majority to boot. Historically, Gyarados has been a scrap of a sad tale. At its introduction, information technology had no Water Type fast move, leaving it in a very obscure place in the game; high potential, but no real viability. After about 17 months, it was finally given Waterfall and rose to obtain the championship that it had e'er dreamed near; acme Water Type in the game. So, not long afterward that, Kyogre appeared and kicked Gyarados off of its throne.

While it's outclassed at this point, Gyarados is still viable, and fifty-fifty optimal in some raids thanks to its Flight sub-typing. Information technology also has a Water/Dark Type Mega Evolution which tin bring some swell utility for its toll, but fifty-fifty it falls short as an attacker with both of its types. Poor Gyarados is only a sad instance at this signal....

PvP Moveset Explanation

**Dragon Jiff or Waterfall + Aqua Tail* and Crunch or Outrage**

Dragon Breath is a blessing to nigh annihilation that has it, and Gyarados is definitely no exception. It sports 4 DPT (Damage Per Turn) and3 EPT(Energy Per Turn), which makes it Gyarados' objectively best quick move despite lacking stab.

Aqua Tail (fifty Power/35 Energy) is an incredibly inexpensive move that can provide frequent shield pressure.Hydro Pump (130 Power/75 Energy) tin threaten KOs when not shielded, merely its high energy price makes it a less consequent pick.Crunch(seventy Power/45 Energy) provides good overall coverage, decent damage, and a reasonable energy cost, whileOutrage (110 Power/threescore Energy) is very powerful at a off-white toll. This set provides Gyarados with a powerful catch-all playstyle that's hard to come up into, and is likely to deal meaningful damage fifty-fifty to Gyarados' counters, while also allowing it to act on opposing dragons while not being hindered by a dragon weakness itself if packingOutrage.

You could also go for Bite, with4 DPT and 2 EPT,making Gyarados an ambitious Nighttime assailant. It is worse against Giratina, all the same, and with it Gyarados becomes even slower. Waterfall is likewise not a bad motion, and is better against Steel and Fairy Pokemon, but there are mostly many superior Water-blazon attackers to choose from.

PvP Rating Explanation

Smashing League: 1.5 / v

Gyarados is a great Pokemon, but the Great League's CP restrictions really limit it. It'south possible to leverage its typing and good moveset against select counters, but information technology's probably better to level it up to a college CP and use information technology in another league.

Ultra League: four / 5

Gyarados starts to shine in the Ultra League as the restrictions to its high CP begin to loosen. Hither, Gyarados's single strongest niche has to exist its ability to take down Giratina and wall Registeel. It can too remove the threats from Dragonite, Swampert, and Charizard. Gyarados' has admission to corking moves of Water, Nighttime, and Dragon type, all of which accept very adept coverage that is narrowly resisted when brought together.

Master League: iii.5 / 5

In the Master League, Gyarados has many stiff niches by virtue of its sheer power and H2o/Flying typing. The versatility of its moveset allows information technology to accept out Metagross, Mewtwo (lacking Thunderbolt), Groudon, Swampert, and Machamp. it can also do extremely well against general threats such every bit Dragonite and both flavors of Giratina. While some movesets are considered objectively meliorate than others in a neutral scenario, Gyarados' potential in regards to typing coverage makes it more unpredictable than most Pokemon in the tier. On top of that and despite its many fantastic qualities, Gyarados is also severely threatened past other large-names such as Melmetal, and pretty much anything sporting Electric coverage. Again, Gyarados is probably one of those Pokemon that you should save a shield for in gild to maximize its effectiveness.
