garyados or donphan

[Assassin8]

which one is beter?

 

[PokeMaster JOE]

Gyrados by far in my opinion.Stats, moveset etc.

 

[Expert Evan]

in-game probably donphan, for netbattle, gyarados. I don't like donphan's speed and weakness to special attacks, and gyarados is better for attack and has a smaller movepool for that as its best move for HP flying is hard to get especially for the desired base power. If with desired stats, it can be awesome.

 

[malabui]

Gyrados as it can learn far better moves than Donphan, such as thunderbolt, ice beam and flamethrower. The Donaphan can't really learn many good moves

 

[wozfe]

Gyarados can learn good special moves but its special attacks is bad if compared with its physical attack power.

 

[Gaara]

i thing gyrados beats them all

 

[Masquieran Chilli]

this probably depends on whether you want a better physical pokémon or special poké. physical=donphan special = gyarados

 

[Obiwan Shinobi]

depends

donphan is a rapid spinner
gyarados is a dragon dancer

 

[Dark_Lugia_XD]

it all depends on if u prefer def or sp. def.
gyradose = sp.def
donphan = def

 

[Fiery Blaziken]

Gyarados has better stats and learns better moves.

For a start,this should be in the polls section.
Secondly,this has been answered many times.

Donphan = physical attack
Gyrados = special attacker

In my experience, Gyarados has too poor a sp.attk stat to pull off the water moves it learns, such as hydro pump or surf, despite the fact that these are STABed. As an in-game pokémon, I've always found donphan more reliable and effective than gyarados. However, gyarados is relatively good in competitive battle as a dragondancer seeing as it has a great attack stat. For water purposes though, you can do better.

Donphan has good attack and can use Earthquake to full power. But since there are a lot of Pokemon that are water type or know water moves, Donphan may not be the brightest choice. If I may ask, why do you need our suggestions?

 

[Narupix]

I suggest you use Gyarados. It learns better moves and if it would be Gyarados against Donphan, I think gyarados would win.

[PKMN Legend Anthony]

Gyrados gets my Vote, He is a Dragon Dancer and IMO Dragon Dancers are the best

 

[Aqua_Maiden]

I would go for Donphan but it has more weaknesses than Gyarados does. Also Gyarados has a higher attack and can use Dragon Dance.

this probably depends on whether you want a better physical pokémon or special poké. physical=donphan special = gyarados

Donphan = physical attack
Gyrados = special attacker

No. Gyarados and Donphan are both physical attackers. Gyarados's special attack stat isn't even close to good (the highest it can possibly get is 240).

As for who's better, it depends. As said, Gyarados isn't so great ingame, while it's excellent competitively. Although Donphan's awesome in both areas. Meh, I guess I'll go with Donphan, although Gyarados is better than it in competitive, at least Donphan is good in both areas.

 

[Dark Venusaur]

I dont know gyrados. It could keep on using water type moves

[chaos952]

Special Gyarados sucks. Also, Gyarados is awesome in-game.

Adamant Nature @ Leftovers
Return/HP Flying (good luck getting HP Flying, although HP Flying is better)
Earthquake
Dragon Dance
Thunder Wave

I used that same Gyarados in FR, coincidentally. Answering the question, I think the better one is Gyarados indeed. That set chaos provided (and which I also used in FR) is something the A.I. will never get by.
