Legacy Gyarados

What should i do with my 98% IV Gyarados with Dragon Breath and Twister? Im keeping it either way because, it's a legacy moveset, but i wanted to here your guy's opinion.

Just keep it, and hope that one day Twister becomes useful for anything but fighting Ditto

XD, yeah Twister sucks

I assume you attack Gyrados with Jolteon or other electric. Don't you find Pump/Pulse easier to dodge than Twister and I usually end up with more HPs left (and less potion usage) when I fight a Pump or Pulse Gyrados vs a Twister one.

Why would you dodge Twister, just keep on bashing him while he wastes time with this worthless shit move (Thanks God only one of my 14 Gyarados has it)

The point is though if you arent bothering to Dodge it.

Do you dodge Pulse or Hydro?

If you do dodge them, you are taking more damage from a Twister Gyarados then you are taking from others

A Twister Gyarados makes prestiging against them a lot more difficult than Pulse and Hydro but an attacker won't be impressed since the Gyarados will be down before it really starts to spam Twister. I personally would never put one in a gym, legacy move be damned.

I dodge every charge move, at least try it, but I don't care to dodge Twister or Bulldoze since I have the impression it's better to keep hitting them to finish the fight faster. Of course this also depends on the local situation, to me time is much more important than potions.

If it has a high enough CP, just use it as a defender...and keep it as part of your collection.

Keep it. It will not be a bad defender. Try attacking Dragonite with it and see what happens. It is still a Gyarados.

I have a Gyarados with this same moveset :)

In theory, this is a better defensive moveset than Bite/anything. (Looking at the rating on this very website, I see that GamePress agrees.) I haven't actually tested it though, cuz my Gyarados is still a little too low to place in a gym.

I haven't prioritized it, but I have been slowly powering it up here and there. It's about level 20 right now.
