Common Challenge: Insufficient Damage Output
Battling with Gyarados can be hindered by its limited damage potential. Tackle and Dragon Breath, while common Fast Moves, lack the necessary power.
Innovative Solution: Optimize Fast Moves
Maximize Gyarados' damage output by selecting Waterfall or Bite as Fast Moves. These moves offer higher power and reduce the cooldown period, allowing for more frequent attacks.
Common Challenge: Weak to Electric and Rock Types
Gyarados' dual Water/Flying typing makes it vulnerable to Electric and Rock attacks. This weakness can limit its effectiveness in certain matchups.
Innovative Solution: Utilize Earthquake
Add Earthquake, a Ground-type Charged Move, to Gyarados' arsenal. This move provides coverage against Electric-type opponents and can be particularly devastating against Rock types, turning a potential weakness into an advantage.
