[Overview]
<p>Gyarados, like Heatran can effectively run a set that utilizes torment. Some of the advantages he has to Heatran is intimidate, a slightly higher speed stat, and bounce. </p>
<p>Heatran does have some advantages over gyarados though, Not having lava plumes burn can make some pokemon harder to stall out, and slightly less resistances can make switching in a bit harder.</p>

<p> Tormentdos can be frustratingly difficult to kill. Torment makes it so the opponent cannot use the same move twice, most pokemon don't have a second move that can break Gyarados' substitute. Tormentdos can very often come out of a match up with a sub intact, ready to torment all over again.</p>
<p>Waterfall is your preferred option for your fourth move .It has STAB and water is a fairly good mono attacking type. Bounce is an interesting move. It stalls out a turn and can get you some more leftovers recovery while also getting STAB, but its 8 pp makes gyarados' stalling potential significantly shorter. Toxic makes up for Gyarados' inability to burn the opponent but makes you vulnerable to steel typed pokemon. Taunt can be used on mono-attacking pokemon. A pokemon like Blissey will attack one turn and then struggle the next allowing you to beat them out but opens up a wide variety of pokemon that can beat you. Stone edge is your best option when using a specialized team with Magnezone and Toxic Spikes Support</p>
<p>Toxic Spikes support is recommended, especially if using taunt. Magnezone is recommended when using toxic. Stealth rock and spin support is appreciated to extend Gyarados' life. <p>
I could use some help with the EV's i'm sure they are all wrong for this set. At first i tried bulkydos' same EV's but with 204 speed EV's to outspeed mixed dragonite. Then i realized that most counters were special attackers and that max SpD could beat out all of the DDdos' counters including offensive Rotom-A
