Gyarados loses his devastating weakness to Electric attacks, which immediately makes him one of the most potent pokemon in the game. A major attack nerf helps balance him out, but STAB Dragon moves like Rage and Dragon Rage mean this pokemon is a very diverse special sweeper who can still hit hard on the physical side with Double-Edge. His signature move, Splash, locks him into a STAB base 150 water attack for 2-3 turns. This Dragon's power is no longer just a legend.
Gyarados only has one weakness, but only two resistances too. Gyarados is a diverse aquatic sweeper and can hit anything hard with his Dragon attacks. Gyarados loses 50 Attack, but it's still enough to support the Normal moves for Physical support. |

Gyarados becomes the mighty Dragon type he always was meant to be. With a Water/Dragon typing, you only fear Dragon attacks while walling Fire/Water attacks like it's nothing. He also gets multiple STAB attacks, which Gyarados isn't used to. To compensate, Dragonite sees his attack lowered to more humane levels. His signature move is the old laughing stock Splash, which suddely becomes one of the most powerful moves in the game with a whooping 140 base power. Care for special walls like Chansey.
