Best Mega Gyarados Moveset in Pokemon GO

In Pokemon GO, Mega Gyarados can be acquired through Mega Evolution only, so Mega Gyarados that you capture in Raids will turn back into regular Gyarados upon completion. You can then temporarily achieve Mega evolution with Gyarados, making it even more powerful in battle for a limited period by expending some of your collected Mega Energy, a resource that can be collected by taking down Mega Raids.

In Pokemon GO, Mega Gyarados is a Water and Dark Dual Type Pokemon, and is weak to Fairy, Fighting, Electric, Grass, and Bug Type Pokemon, but is resistant to Steel, Ghost, Water, Ice, Dark, and Fire Type moves and Pokemon. Mega Gyarados also has quite a significant potential to do exceptionally well on several different team builds or battling scenarios, coming equipped with a maximum CP level of 5332, and a stat spread of 292 ATK, 247 DEF, and 216 STA.

When equipped with the best possible moveset combination, which has been outlined below, you can expect Mega Gyarados to dish out an approximate 17.89 damage per second in battle, and deliver around 751.4 damage total to the enemy before fainting. However, if for whatever reason you are unable to acquire this ideal moveset combination, or need to slightly change things up to better suit the rest of your team coverage or a niche situation, then one of the secondary moveset combinations may also prove to be a worthy choice, as these combinations don't fall very far behind in terms of damage output.
