Help with Rados pl0x

[StallerSweeperSponge]

Yo... I'm really having trouble deciding what Gyarados set to use. I came up with a few fairly bad ones and I'm really sick of it, can someone help me? This is mine:

Gyarados@Liechi
252 ATK 252 SPD 6 HP
Adamant
EQ
Dragon Dance
Taunt
Body Slam

Help. Please. Also, physical or special sweeper?

 

[Nightcat]

Gyar@leichi/lefties
adamant
- hydro pump/surf
- EQ/ice beam
- attacking move
- Dragon Dance

yup yup!

if its adamant use hydro pump over surf.

Always use a physical Gyarados. It doesn't have the Sp.Attack to pull off being a Sp.Sweeper. The ONLY Sp.Attack it should have is Hydro Pump... and that's MAYBE.

Anyways, you'll want Return instead of Body Slam. More power, stuff like that. Consider Thunder Wave instead of Taunt too since this is ingame afterall...

You could also try Flail if you're feeling lucky. Flail + Dragon Dance = Ooh-la-la! >=)

Gyarados @ Leftovers
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Return
- Thunder Wave

I prefer an Adamant Gyarados.

- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Surf
- Thunder Wave

taunt sux,except when its bieng used on a pokemon that knows no attacking moves besides explosion

zezrex5, i'm not saying that you're stupid. it just seems that you're always wrong.

gyarados's base attack: 125
gyarados's base SAtk: 60

why do people give it special attacks?

given that this is for in-game, you can't get HP Flying at a decent power, right?

in that case, i'd use EQ/DD/Return/taunt or TWave

no he is just stupid, according to him any move that doesn't do direct damage 'sux'

thats not true,i just want to know whats so great about taunt!

Actually it is, as I've yet to see you suggest a non-Attacking move for any Pokémon.

Taunt is good because it blocks a lot of common moves. One Taunt means no Whirlwind, Thunder Wave, Will-o-Wisp, Roar, Spikes, Rest, Calm Mind, Dragon Dance, Swords Dance, Belly Drum, and many more attacks. It's only for two turns(counting the turn you use it), but that's still enough. Personally, I'm surprised you don't like it more, as it does away with all those moves you so avidly hate ._.

zezrex5, I have to agree with the others on this, and anyone who has seen Fighting_Master's signature will agree to. I mean, not liking Calm Mind?

For the moveset, I'd suggest
EQ
Dragon Dance
Return
Surf/Hydro Pump (the usual trade-off, power or accuracy/pp)

 

[magnemiteZ]

T-Wave>Hydro Pump/Surf imo.

 

[StallerSweeperSponge]

You know what, I just realized this really shouldn't be in RMT. >_< Sorry.

Anyway, what do you think about Body Slam? T-wave>Body Slam? No? Yes? Personally I'd go with T-wave, you don't need any hax for it whereas there's a 30% chance of para haxing with Body Slam...
Or you could go for:

Rados@Liechi
ignoring evs for now
Adamant (which is a necessity)
EQ
T-wave
HP Flying
DD

I dunno, does that work?

Gyarados@ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 28 HP / 252 Atk / 212 Spd / 16 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Thunder Wave
- Return

HP [Flying] is too difficult to get ingame. If you could get it, Put it over Return.

 

[ZNtelle]

Funny thing is, I posted that exact same set w/o EVs not too long ago in this thread.

 

[magnemiteZ]

haha, oh yeah.
But this thread didn't seem to die when you said it =/

 

[ZNtelle]

Noting that most of those posts were Gyarados discussion or eerily similar sets. I guess no one here read my post anyways.
