About Gyarados in Pokémon Champions
Gyarados is a Water/Flying-type Pokémon in the Pokémon Champions competitive format, with a base stat total of 540. As a wallbreaking physical threat, Gyarados trades raw speed for power or utility, often leveraging priority moves, items, or ally support. Its Water/Flying typing shapes both what it threatens offensively and what resists it — a key input when teambuilding around it in the 186-Pokémon Pokémon Champions roster.
Its signature ability, Intimidate, defines how Gyarados plays in competitive Pokémon Champions battles and influences which items and EV spreads pair best with it. Gyarados also has access to a Mega form (Gyarados-Mega), giving it mid-battle flexibility that defines teambuilding around it. Below you'll find Gyarados's full base stats, abilities, the most popular competitive builds from verified teams, and its complete Pokémon Champions learnset.
