What are Gyarados's pros and cons?

Oct. 21, 2020

I just wanted to know the benefits of Gyarados in doubles, VGC format. Although its stats seem a bit sulky, it has been a massive dynamaxer over the past few months, wrecking havoc amongst teams with moxie boosts after every K.O. Thus, the question is, what are the full extents of Gyarados’s advantages and disadvantages?

Also, please list an optimal moveset for Gyarados!

Max Airstream boosts speed. Max Geyser brings rain, which boosts it further. Max Quake covers Electric and raises SpD
