Best Nature For Gyarados Pokemon Revolution


Best Nature For Gyarados Pokemon Revolution

Okay, let’s talk Gyarados. The raging Water/Flying type we all know and (sometimes) love. In Pokemon Revolution, choosing the right nature is kinda a big deal, right?

The Usual Suspects

Everyone and their grandma will tell you Adamant. Why? Maximize that attack! It makes sense. Gyarados hits like a truck. But is it really the best?

Then there's Jolly. Speed is king, they say. Outspeeding the competition can be game-changing. I get it. Really, I do.

These are the popular kids in the Gyarados nature high school. But I'm here to say... there's a secret nerd that's surprisingly cool.

Hear Me Out: Brave Gyarados!

Yeah, I said it. Brave. Reduced speed? Increased attack? You might be thinking, "This person is crazy!"

Let me explain. Pokemon Revolution is... different. There's a whole metagame of strategies you don't find in the main series games. We're talking Trick Room shenanigans. And who benefits from Trick Room?

That's right. Our Brave friend Gyarados.

Think about it. In Trick Room, slow is the new fast. Suddenly, that speed drop becomes a massive advantage. Gyarados, already a powerful attacker, becomes an unstoppable force of nature. A watery, angry force of nature.

Imagine the look on your opponent's face when your Gyarados goes first in Trick Room and OHKO's their prized sweeper. Pure. Unadulterated. Joy.

But Wait, There's More!

"Okay," you might say, "but Trick Room teams are niche. What about outside of that?"

Well, even without Trick Room, a Brave Gyarados can surprise you. Let's be honest, Gyarados isn't lightning fast anyway. Plenty of things are going to outspeed it regardless. So, why not embrace the slow life?

That extra attack from Brave can mean the difference between a KO and leaving your opponent with a sliver of health. That sliver of health can lead to a victory for them. We can't have that, can we?

Think of the sheer, unbridled power of a Brave Gyarados unleashing a Waterfall. Or a Stone Edge. It's beautiful, isn't it?

The Downside (Because There Always Is One)

Okay, Brave isn't perfect. You're giving up a bit of speed, and that can hurt sometimes. You'll definitely be slower than the speedy threats. You'll need to plan your team accordingly.

But hey, no strategy is foolproof. Every nature has its pros and cons.

My Unpopular Conclusion

Look, I'm not saying everyone should run a Brave Gyarados. Adamant and Jolly are still great choices. But I think Brave is often overlooked. It's a fun, unexpected, and surprisingly effective option.

So, next time you're breeding a Gyarados in Pokemon Revolution, consider the Brave nature. You might just be surprised at how much you like it. After all, sometimes the best strategy is the one nobody expects.

Plus, imagine the bragging rights! "Yeah, I swept your team with a Brave Gyarados." Mic drop.

Just remember to bring a good Trick Room setter along for the ride. Maybe a Dusclops or Bronzong? Just a thought.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to breed some more Brave Gyarados. Gotta catch 'em all... slowly!

P.S. If you decide to try it, let me know how it goes! I'm always up for hearing about other people's crazy Pokemon strategies.
