Build Notes

Mega Gyarados is a two-phase sweeper. Before Mega Evolution it lands Intimidate to neuter physical attackers, then becomes Mold Breaker after transforming, bypassing abilities like Lightning Rod or Wonder Guard. Dragon Dance boosts its already-high 165 base Attack and raises Speed to outpace the field. Investment goes into HP and Speed rather than Attack, leaning on the natural stat ceiling and Dragon Dance to scale damage. Waterfall and Crunch give dual STAB coverage post-Mega when it gains the Dark type, and Protect lets it stall for support turns alongside Raichu or Sinistcha.
