Gyarados is the perfect switch into Team 1's Metagross, since the hardest thing they can hit us with is Meteor Mash, a pretty inaccurate move that only 3HKO's after Intimidate. After 1 DD we outspeed everything they currently have (not sure if Jolly is needed to outspeed Meloetta) and have a high chance to OHKO their entire team (or just OHKOing after just a layer of spikes). Not only that, but it also discourages the opponent from using Rain since it will power up out Waterfalls to deadly levels.As much as I hate it, Intimidate is needed in order to switch into Metagross, otherwise we're 2HKO'd by Meteor Mash. Of course, Jolteon or a fast Scarfed electric-type user is a very obvious pokemon if we choose Gyarados, but Celebi should be able to take them, and we do have another pokemon to choose after Gyarados, so we should be fine. The only problem I can see is that we can only switch into Metagross, as Meloetta and Thundurus can OHKO us with Thunderbolt.
EDIT: Fffuck. Forgot Clear Body. I still think it's a strong candidate though, since Heatran can take Meteor Mashes for days, and we can take every other move Metagross has.Moxie is definitely the best option then. Still torn between the two, since Intimidate could be used as a quick -1 to a physical pokemon Team 1 chooses. Also, reason I don't have bulky DD is because we need EQ to 2HKO at +1, and I don't like using EQ on Bulky DD (Although that's just me).
