Is Gyarados Good in FireRed & LeafGreen Playthrough?

Every switch-in drops the opponent's Attack. AbilityIntimidate makes Gyarados both an offensive force and a defensive support piece. Water/Flying handles Blaine, Giovanni, and contributes against Bruno. Lance uses Gyarados for the same reason you should. The Magikarp grind pays for itself ten times over.

Gyarados Weakness

Type-wise, Gyarados takes extra damage from Electric and Rock. Watch out for Electric attacks, those deal 4x damage. Ground moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. 5 resistances help offset the weaknesses. With 95 HP and balanced defenses, Gyarados can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

125 Attack with AbilityIntimidate dropping opponent Attack on switch-in. Water/Flying typing provides a Ground immunity. All Water moves are special, leaving the 125 Attack without Water TermStab to match it. The moveset compensates with MoveEarthquake, MoveRock Slide, and physical coverage while MoveDragon Dance boosts Attack and Speed for sweeping.

Moves List

TMs carry this one. Gyarados learns Hydro Pump and Surf naturally for STAB, but the offensive range comes almost entirely from technical machines. Normal and Dark and beyond give it real matchup play.
