Bite+Outrage?

I recently evolved my 100% Magikarp and ended up with a Bite+Outrage Gyarados.

How bad is this moveset? Any uses?

It's not terrible, just not as good as Bite+HP (or DT+HP) for attack. Not for use as a defender either because of Bite.

Decent generalist attacker, but nothing with STAB

I honestly don't think he has a "bad" defensive moveset since he is so easy to take down anyway no matter the moveset. Offense is a different discussion though

Everything with Bite is bad for defense. Anything with Dragon Tail is much, much better. I would argue he's actually a viable defender with DT + Outrage (or HP).

Movesets being "bad for defense" is kind of relative when 2100 Jolteons that most can get with zero dust investment can crush them. I'm just saying his usefulness as a defender to you is his potential CP and gym placement. I am pretty excited when there are 4 or more of them in a level 10 gym because it's time to eat. Regardless of moveset.

And worse case this one sits high on defense while being a decent generalist attacker before he megaevolves as a 100% min with a new moveset with the dust investment transferred.

So did you already fight multiple DT Gyarados in a gym already than? Try again and tell me if it was really as easy as it used to be. You need to dodge some quicks now, otherwise your Jolteon ends up in your graveyard.

Better than Bite+Dragon Pulse when attacking?
Power to lv30 or not?

Yes. Better than Bite + DP; however, I wouldn't power this guy up.

I see. Thanks!
I have a 97.8 B+HP to waste candy on, but still feels wrong to leave a 100% Pokémon behind.

I wanted to second that it is better than B/DP and is a solid option against Dragonite. He might be worth investing in in the future, as he is still a solid attacker, and let's wait until the defense rankings come out, I have a feeling O will be up there as a defender. With it being 100% it might be good to stick high up in gyms.

Unfortunately Crunch is not as strong a move as it should have been.

I just evolved a level 25 100% magikarp and I got Bite + Crunch, so that's basically the worst possible moveset lol. Don't feel bad, at least you got Outrage.
