Literally why?

>>32381027
at least Z-Bounce is a thing

>>32381085
Gyarados's special attack is so bad you're better off using pretty much any physical move than Hurricane

>Adamant 252+ Sheer Force Life Orb Coil boosted Iron Tail

>>32381108
>>32381027
Gyarados ingame doesn't need a Flying move anyway. DD+Ice Fang already wrecks Grass types and gets even better once you find the Ice Z-Crystal

>>32381027
Look at flying type moves. They desperately need something like return that isn't as exclusive as drill peck

>>32380782
>>32380795
>>32380998
So close to being another "Pidgeot can learn Sing". I never knew GF cared about Furret (or any gen 2 mon at that).

Ariados got it's own signature move in gen 7.

>>32381182
I forgot to mention about Z-Splash aswell. Would probably be the way to go until you get DD.

That would be fucking awesome

What about Fighting types, you know, the actual reason to use Flying moves?

I haven't competitive battled in such a long time now. What's hot in Smogon UU???

Have they finally established a meta for all tiers now?

>>32381024
well yah, dunsparce is a snake

>>32381276
Poiliwrath is the only Fighting type in the region that resists Water and Ice, so it isn't that big of a loss.

>>32381275
But that would kill it.

>>32381098
If you transferred it. I wanted a stab move for the one I caught in sun. For now I've just switched between ice fang and earthquake. Aerial ace would have been good at least, dhelmise learns it so why can't he?

>>32381385
>Aerial ace would have been good at least, dhelmise learns it so why can't he?
dhelmise can be swung like a sword, gyarados can't

>>32381398
How is an anchor similar to a sword? Besides, gyrados could just swipe with his tail or something. Aerial ace implies speed, and dhelmise is slow as shit

Meinshao deserves it first.

>>32380776
Gyarados is a fishe, not a snek.

>>32380776
I can see The first 3 getting huge benefits from Coil, but Rayquaza? Probably needs it as much as Furret and Milotic did

>>32382453
steelix has curse, what does it need coil for?

>>32382469
Iron Tail gets farther boosted than Gyro Ball or Heavy Slam

>>32382469
Sheer force iron tail without the miss chance.

Fuck that, just go Mega.

>>32385283
I'm talking about Cacturne and Maractus

>>32385283
Chesnaught is great in RU. But in PU? Lmao

To my knowledge, every time gyarados appears it's in a similar pose to the OP image, not articulated horizontally. I think that gyarados can only twist it's parts as is displayed in the OP image, so it can't actually coil. The rest of them should have it though

>>32382533
Nidoking has 85 spa and hits like a truck with sheer force + Life orb

>>32381239
shedinja will never be able to use shell smash, if it did it will literally smash away its entire body

>>32381330
No logic, man. Yes, the weight of the shell is what allows it to safely take on the recoil he gets from using CANNONS, and yes, those cannons are part of the shell in the first place, but removing that shell is definitely going to improve it. Because it has shell, it must learn Shell Smash.

>>32385171
You want a Leavanny 2.0

>>32381260
>>32381270
Maybe.

>>32388706
Its even 10x worser than Leavanny. Lurantis is only 20 points short to Leavanny's BST, and ended up having similar stats except the speed. How could they fuck up this badly?

>>32381558
>Aerial ace implies speed
The nip name translates to "Swallow Return" or someshit and refers to a legendary sword technique. Anything that can slash should be able to use it.

>>32388788
Because GF is a retarded company who don't care about the competitive and their fans.
They remove stuff that fans like: pokemon following you, Battle Frontier, World Tournament, Dexnav for no reason.

It's more hurt by its ability that does nothing to help it.

>>32381275
That would be fucking broken. We've done the calcs. Instant ban.

>>32391262

It can still Contrary Leaf Storm. Might be a TR candidate.

>>32388788
Because they didn't want its totem fight to be too challenging.

>>32391303
So it does Serperior's job but worse.

Okay.
