Hello PAd Community!
Here I am again, bothering with my suggestions again
I want to make a small suggestion on Gyarado's moves:
Changing Aqua Tail for Bubbles
Changing Hydro Cannon for Sky Drop and 15 sec. cd
Reasons:
Duelling: Gyarados is a very popular pokemon and its dual-type Water/Flying make it even better. However, we don't see it on duels that often. People would very much rather choose Mantine, like we saw on the last Global Tournament.
Since like 1 and a half months ago I started duelling and I've noticed that pokemons with distance-moves are the most popular ones, since you can keep your distance from the opponent's pokemon. This is why I think
Bubbles would make a small but good difference in Gyarados' moveset and it is kinda more related with Red Gyarados' Bubblebeam move. Same situation with
Sky Drop, it is a good, small AoE Flying-type distance-move. According to Bulbapedia, the only Flying-type move that Gyarados can learn is Hurricane, but Red Gyarados has that move, which I believe is cool to leave that strong move on Red Form. However we do need some Flying-type move on Normal Gyarados besides Aeroblast, which is a mixed move (Water, Ice, Flying). Noteworthy Gyarados cannot learn any strong Flying-type TMs. Why not Air Blast? (similar formula as Hydro Cannon) because Gyarados has Hyper Beam already, and I believe it puts Gyarados in a disadvantage to have 2 moves with this formula, because opponent can dodge it when moving his pokemon in diagonal.
Why replacing Hydro Cannon and not Waterfall, for instance?? Because according to Bulbapedia, Hydro Cannon is not learnt by Gyarados, nor is Sky Drop, so these 2 moves share that "uniqueness" of not being able to be learnt by Gyara.
Hunting: Even though Sky Drop is not Water-type move, it deals damage to a wider range than Hydro Cannon with 5 sec less cd.
What do you think guys? I feel this 2 small changes would make a big differente. I know all pokemons are not suppose to be good for duelling, but I believe these 2 changed won't affect Gyarados' PvE side.
Thanks! ^^
