Gyarados vs Dragonite

Despite it is a flying- and water-type Pokemon, Gyarados can use Dragon Breath, a dragon-type fast move. The move is super effective against dragon-type Pokemons.

On the other hand, Dragonite use Dragon Breath or Steel Wing. Dragon Breath damages Gyarados as usual, but Steel Wing cannot damage water-type Pokemon well and the power is cut off by half.

As well as its fast move, Gyarados can use a dragon-type charge move, Dragon Pulse, and the move is super effective against Dragonite.

Dragonite use Dragon Pulse, and the move damages Gyarados as usual.

Because of Dragon Breath's higher EPS, Gyarados can use charge move relatively easily.

In summary, when Gyarados acquire Dragon Breath and Dragon Pulse, it is the best attacker to take over a gym defended by Dragonite, even if Dragonite's CP is higher than Gyarados.
