Thanks to its high Attack and decent Speed, Gyarados serves as a strong wallbreaker, with powerful STAB moves like Surging Strikes threatening common defensive Pokemon like Clefable and Hippowdon. Dragon Dance further bolsters its offensive presence, letting it overwhelm the likes of Toxapex and Ferrothorn, as well as outspeeding revenge killers like Zeraora, Gengar, and Choice Scarf Latios at +2. Dragon Ascent is a powerful STAB move that allows Gyarados to pressure Water-resistant and immune foes like Ferrothorn and Seismitoad. Substitute protects it from revenge killers like Accelerock Tyranitar and Aerodactyl, Toxic from Seismitoad and Heatran, and Strength Sap from Ferrothorn, instead using these Pokemon as setup fodder. Power Whip can be run instead of Substitute to deal more damage to defensive Water-types like Rotom-W and Seismitoad. Leftovers provides passive recovery that allows Gyarados to use Substitute more times, but Heavy-Duty Boots is preferred on non-Substitute sets to prevent Stealth Rock damage. Pokemon like Aerodactyl and Zeraora that struggle to harm walls like Gastrodon and Mudsdale appreciate Gyarados's ability to pressure them. Teammates like Excadrill and Rillaboom check the Rock- and Electric-types that threaten Gyarados. Entry hazard setters like Diggersby and Mew are also good teammates to wear down opposing Pokemon like Celesteela and make it easier for Gyarados to KO them.

Thanks to its high Attack and decent Speed, Gyarados serves as a strong wallbreaker with access to powerful STAB moves like Surging Strikes, which enables it to threaten common defensive Pokemon like Clefable and Hippowdon. Further bolstered by Dragon Dance, letting it overwhelm the likes of Toxapex and Latios, while letting it outspeed revenge killers like Zeraora, and Gengar, as well as certain Choice Scarf users at +2. Dragon Ascent hits threatening Grass- and Fighting-types like Rillaboom, Buzzwole, and Zarude super-effectively. I think u should mention how dragon ascent is good cuz it pressures Water-resists like Ferro, Pex, or Seis. Dragon Dance allows Gyarados to further increase its offensive potency, as well as outspeed threats like Gengar and Victini after one boost. Putting up a Substitute helps Gyarados to protect itself from revenge killers like Accelrock Tyranitar and Aerodactyl, and KO them instead. id mention how it lets it beat non-grav apple ferro and dodge status from foes like Seismitoad and Heatran to use them as set-up fodder Leftovers provide passive recovery that allow Gyarados to use Substitute multiple times. write in pwhip (does more damage to rotom and seis) and specify that lefties should only be used alongside sub, otherwise heavy-duty boots are optimal. Bulky Pokemon like Clefable and Toxapex appreciate Gyarados as a teammate as it can KO Pokemon that passive teammates cannot. Gyarados enjoys defensive teammates like Seismitoad and Ferrothorn that can withstand hits from threatening Electric-types like Thundurus-T and priority moves from revenge killers like Aerodactly. Gyarados's weakness to Stealth Rocks means that it also appreciates entry hazard removers like Corviknight and Excadrill. its a HO mon, write about offensive teammates.

Thanks to its high Attack and decent Speed, Gyarados serves as a strong wallbreaker with access to powerful STAB moves like Surging Strikes, which enables it to threaten common defensive Pokemon like Clefable and Hippowdon. Its offenseive presence is further bolstered by Dragon Dance, letting it overwhelm the likes of Toxapex and Latios Ferrothorn this part of the sentence sounds like defensive checks and Latios usually runs scarf so it outpaces +1 anyways, as well as outspeed revenge killers like Zeraora and Gengar, or certain Choice Scarf users Latios oh perfect at +2. Dragon Ascent is a powerful Flying-type STAB that allows Gyarados to pressure Water-resistant and immune? foes like Ferrothorn and Seismitoad. Putting up a Substitute helps Gyarados to protect itself from revenge killers like Accelrock Tyranitar and Aerodactyl, (AC) while blocking Toxic from Seismitoad and Heatran and Strength Sap from Ferrothorn and status moves from Pokemon like Seismitoad or Heatran, instead using them as setup fodder. Power Whip can be run instead of Substitute to deal more damage to defensive Water-types like Rotom-W and Seismitoad. Leftovers provide passive recovery that allow Gyarados to use Substitute multiple times, but Heavy-Duty Boots are preferred on non-Substitute sets to prevent Gyarados from being worn down by Stealth Rock. Pokemon like Aerodactyl and Zeraora that struggle to hit defensive walls like Gastrodon and Mudsdale appreciate Gyarados's ability to pressure them out. Gyarados enjoys teammates like Cinderace and Terrakion that can threaten opposing Grass- or Electric-types don't feel that gyarados is particularly threatened by Grass types and Terrak doesnt really pressure Electric types well Gyarados appreciates teammates like Excadrill and Rillaboom that can check the Rock- and Electric-types that threaten it. Entry hazard setters like Excadrill Diggersby and Mew are also good teammates to help wear down opposing Pokemon and make it easier for Gyarados to KO them.
