Competitive Landscape
Gyarados is a popular Pokemon in Pokemon Go for its power and versatility. Its moveset plays a critical role in maximizing its potential. Currently, Hydro Pump and Crunch are the preferred charge moves, with Bite or Waterfall as the fast move. This combination provides a balance of damage output and energy generation. Alternative charge moves like Outrage offer more damage but with higher energy requirements.
Value Proposition
Hydro Pump remains the strongest water-type charge move, making it ideal for taking down fire and ground-type opponents. Crunch provides coverage against psychic and ghost-type Pokemon. Bite offers higher damage per energy, while Waterfall generates energy faster. The combination of Hydro Pump and Crunch is versatile and effective against a wide range of opponents. However, Outrage’s high damage potential can be advantageous in certain scenarios, making it a situational choice.
