Gyarados

[Spartan 37]

What does everyone think of this set?

Gyarados - Adamant - Leftovers
-Body Slam
-Thunder Wave
-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake

I figure, paralyze them from the start, then DD away, letting Leftovers heal him if the opponent manages to land a hit. Then I unleash some Body Slams or EQ's accordingly.

 

[feebas_factor]

Why use body slam if they're already paralyzed? I'm no expert, but I would say you just use return cuz it's stronger. Or hp flying, if you care to get it (I never would).

Got nothing else to offer, though...

Gyarados@Leftovers
Adamant
Hidden Power Flying
Earthquake
Taunt
Dragon Dance

U could use Return if u can't get a strong Hidden Power Flying since getting a good Hidden Power is hard.

 

[Spartan 37]

I prefer Body Slam over Return. It's a matter of preference.

pretty good MM-SP

 

[Spartan 37]

Hydro Pump? No way. Not with a nature like Adamant and a Sp Atk of 60.

 

[Nightcat]

You want hydro pump because you probably want to beat rock, and there aren't many other moves that could work there IMO..
I wish Gyrados could learn aerial ace...

[Crypted Wolf]

It looks like it can learn Areoblast IMO. Hydropump because it has STAB and because Ground and Rock pokemon are going to be a pain.

 

[Spartan 37]

I guess you got a point with Hydro Pump, but still, it's not powerful enough.

 

[Overheat Hothead]

it has a power of 120 and after stab 180 what could be more powerful on a pokemon with a sucky move pool

 

[Spartan 37]

It has an accuracy of only 85, and Gyarados' Sp Atk is just 60. Not good enough.

 

[ShinyFufu]

Well, rock pokemon can be taken out by earthquake, but I see how Hydro Pump could work. I don't see why u should use T-Wave, Dragon Dance already makes u fast enough. Either way, I think Taunt beats all of them IMO becuz it lets u prevent other pokemon from phazing u as wells as disabling them of using their own stat-upping moves.

I don't see why u should use T-Wave, Dragon Dance already makes u fast enough.

well it also makes the opponont have a 1 in 2 chance not moving so that is useful while setting up a few DDs

Yeah, not to mention how useful it is in a double battle.

Spartan, if you use your set how will you take down Ghost pokemon with Levitate?

Use this:
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Thunderbolt
Rock Slide

 

[Nightcat]

You don't want any special moves on gyra except for hydro pump...
