Hi there,
today i thought its time to evolve my 100% Magikarp into Gyarados, it got B/O, lvl 20.
I am planning to power it up sooner or later as it makes me happy.
If i power it up sooner would you go on dark moves B/C for the psycho raids (even if Gyarados doesn't resist psy)?
Or have the strongest general attack combo DT/HP to dish out nice damage.
I am tending to the second option, even if it will require more TMs. As i said it will be no rush project.
Maybe i should add i have no high lvl Gyarados yet, never felt that i needed them as Defenders before the gym rework. And now, only attack matters, even more than before because of the 3 min for raids battles.
I would most prefer a DT/OR moveset on a gary.
But I wouldn't waste dust - let alone TM's - on a gary in the current meta. Maybe if it was a high IV shiny, to throw in gyms and show off, but not a normal one. If the gym meta changes, that might change in the future - but he's not very good currently.
I love it for soloing Gengar
I have 3 of them B/C, B/HP, DT/C that i use in raid team against gengar others has Twister and DPulse so i let em stay in my bag
It is doing good as attacker in position 3,4,5 especially vs Focus Blast Gengar as my Tyranitar and sometimes my Espeon is in danger of not performing well
Those gary's are in very high level though (level 37 to 39) as they used to be a gym defender hiding behind blissey wall in the old gym
