Gayrados with Roost?

[Our Wasted Years]

If Gyarados was able to learn Roost, do you think that would make him a better sweeper and make him a better Bulkysweeper too? Would that open doors to a Wall/Tank Gyarados or would it be just plain horrible? Discuss what you think.

It would help, but it wouldn't physically make sence. It would just lay there. And this could push it into Ubers, like swords dance did to garchomp

 

[DerMißingno]

I think it would help him, but it wouldn't help him sweep. It would come with a coverage sacrifice or a power sacrifice. There may be less offensive sets that it would be useful for though.

It would not push it into ubers. That is an asinine idea.

Look at the topic title, Gayrados with Roost.

Gyarados as a Flying-Type in general doesn't make any sence.

 

[DerMißingno]

I feel like every flying type should be able to learn "fly" by default. If it can't fly, then it has no business being a "flying" type pokemon. Oh well, it's just a game.

totally agreed

Maybe as a way to weaken it, maybe to give it a x4 weakness to Electric? I dunno, I never understood it, either.

Anyway, Roost on Gyarados is too much.

 

[Fatima Shadow Frost Witch]

Gyarados was able to learn Roost

Even if it was Gyarados would have a move that would work only once or twice per battle

 

[Mr Post Man]

What's with the topic title?

 

[Fatima Shadow Frost Witch]

Who knows maybe a typo?

 

[Falconwing]

I'm just going to say this. Go to the inappropriatley typed pokemon thread and read why Gyarados is flying type...

 

[Ghost]

A lovely addition to the bulk-Gyara set.

 

[7tx]

Who knows maybe a typo?

Maybe... Or maybe someone doesn't like the flying fish

 

[Sheshi]

Maybe... But I like the flying fish. At least it can bounce around somehow...

 

[Fatima Shadow Frost Witch]

@Sheshi

Well there is a flying type move called Bounce wouldn't it be a better choice for a Gyarados?

 

[7tx]

It is possible to get a Bouncing Gyarados

 

[Falcon Punch]

Mantine is the same it cant learn roost either, and has the same typing as Gyarados.

but its meant to be a Stingray? the flying type dosent really make a lot of sense

Well, that one I can't explain, other than a flying manta ray is a cool idea.

Someone told me Mantine was partially based on a kite.
