Gyrados b/hp vs b/c?

Submit Feedback or Error

I have only 2 decently powered Garys:
lvl 36.5/ iv 73%/ 14 atk / 4 def/ 15 sta
lvl 33.5/ iv 93%/ 13 atk / 14 def/ 15 sta

They both have b/hp, which does well in Moltres and Lugia raids, but how much better is the 1.4X dark damage effectiveness of crunch vs hp with STAB, specifically for Mewtwo raids? Is it worth using charge TMs to convert to crunch or will b/hp suffice? And if I reroll and get outrage should I leave it for future Dragonite raids or risk bouncing back and forth between hp and outrage? (don't really need Nite counters since I'm well stocked with Lapras/Jynx/Cloyster)

B/HP is marginally better than B/C in terms of dmg even with STAB.

And Crunch's especially slow animation means you're a lot more susceptible to missing dodges. So B/HP is good.

Hydro Pump has a 3.3 seconds cooldown, but Crunch only has 3.2. Crunch has a slightly later dodge window compared to HP, though.

Yeap agree. The benefit of HP over crunch is that cos it's a 1 bar move I have to dodge lesser times than Crunch which is 3 times.

Of course there's also the part about wasted energy if the Gyarados is dead before a full bar.
