In-Depth Analysis
Gyarados's 540 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Attack (125) carries most matchups, but a low Special Attack stat of 60 means careful positioning matters.
Its Water, Flying typing leaves Gyarados with 2 weaknesses against 5 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for Electric moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 6 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Gyarados a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
