Air Dragon

Ha, ha... not.
First rate in...

Hmm...let's see...could you tell us their levels and how far you are in the game?

Blaziken
Serious Nature
Sky Uppercut
Blaze Kick
Rock Slide
Mirror Move

Luicolo
Bold Nature Rain Dish
Rain Dance
Dive
Toxic
Leech Seed

An Annoyer, hunh? well, i favor full out attack with some healing techniques as a defense, but if it suits your team...

Pelipper @ Chesto Berry
Calm Nature
Surf
Ice Beam
Shock Wave
Rest

Seviper
Timid
Giga Drain (HP isn't too reliable if you rise in levels)
Crunch
Flamethrower
Glare

Metagross
Adamant Nature
Earthquake
Psychic
Sludge Bomb
Meteor Mash

Now I'm not sure if training my Shiny Gyarados (Adamant) or Sharpedo (Naive)

I'd vote for Sharpedo with the following moveset:

Sharpedo
Naive Nature
Slash
Screech/Agility
Water Pulse
Skull Bash (You've already used Earthquake on Seviper)

But if you choose Gyarados, try this moveset:

Gyarados
Adamant Nature (uhh, not exactly the best nature for a Gyarados...like i really care...)
Hyper Beam/ Hydro Pump
Earthquake
Fire Blast
Body Slam/Double-Edge (FRLG Tutor)

SO that's it... i'd lay a 7.5 outta 10 for it... just train them up well and go with what you want for the team. Later!

have a problem with a very good combo?

Taunt ain't real good in-game IMO.
And gyrados doesn't have a very limited movepool, so HP probs shouldn't go there.

~nightcat ;197;
 

ShinyFufu

Arriving glacially.
Actually, the set shadow siren posted is the best one here. Any type of special move on Gyarados is a super no-no.
 

shiron

Shiron there is an such a thing called trading.\

Adamant not good on Gyarados??? You don't know what your talking about.

Nightcat, Naive is better on Blaziken.

The following natures should never be used:

Hardy
Quierky
Docile
Bashful

who suggested those?
Yes, never use neutral natures, unless there is some spectacular other benefit, like a perfect HP or something.
Yeah, use Naive.
Now, I know what i'm talking about with Gyra...

Gyrados@lefties
adamant nature
- surf/hydro pump
- earthquake
- t-wave/filler
- dragon dance

(it's nice to see people saying my name without an insult following it.)

I would add Serious, and then probably Lax and Gentle as they raise one defense and lower the other. And I like Lonely on Blaziken.

lonely, adamant, etc... they're all good, but since except for water, blaziken's weaknesses are all physical, you may want naive/adamant there.
Jolly is for the endurreving set...

My Gyarados is already adamant, and I won't teach it any move that involves Special Attack because Gyarados' is mediocre.
 
Shut up nightcat.

Psychic says hi.
Do you know what a Naive Nature does? If so, why do you suggest jolly over it on Endurev which also has a fire move?

"Shut up" wasn't really necessary.
Ah yes, psychic. Of course, you could always switch to gross.
Naive +speed -sp. def
Wait, use rock slide / endure / reversal/ sky uppercut
on blaziken then...
