The iconic Gyarados is worth the 400 Candy grind! By virtue of its Water and Flying-type combo, it is an ace against Ground Pokémon. 🌊
Aside from being a dependable harbinger of Water-type damage, it can also masquerade as a Pseudo Dragon Pokémon with its wide array of Dragon-type moves. 🐲
To sum it up, it's not among the best Water Pokémon, but it’s undoubtedly an asset to your team. 💙
⚔️ Raids
Gyarados falls behind several of its peers (including its own Mega Evolution) for DPS, but against Ground Raid bosses, it can often last longer. ⏳
🛡️ Gyms
Gyarados is weak only to Electric and Rock-type damage. However, its double weakness to Electric means it can be easily taken down with a single Electric-type Charge attack. ⚡
It does counter Rock Pokémon with its Water-type moves, so that’s a plus. This makes it a double-edged sword in Gym defense and a generally viable choice. 🎖️
