No. Just no. Didn't he tell you no special attacks on gyarados? Standard:
Gyara @ Lefties
intimidate
EVs: 214 HP / 16 Atk / 180 Def / 100 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Taunt
- Earthquake
- Waterfall / Stone Edge / Ice Fang
By far the best gyarados set out there.

You see, starpator can make use of plenty of physical moves better than astonish :/ Brve Bird, Close Combat, U-turn, Double-Edge or return, and a few more. It's run best with choice band or scarf, or life orb.

I DID have Sky Uppercut on Blaziken, but for some reason it was missing 1 in 3 times, which is NOT what i want to happen all the time, even on WiFi, it got pathetic. I like swagger, as a last ditch effort if I get type killed, but then I suppose damage is better than nothing, but swagger might save me more than hp loss...dunno.
Flamethrower reverted on Charizard, and Fly switched for Air Slash, I like having one or two surprise on pokemon that people won't expect (, if they work lol) so I'll keep sunny day, might give Rapidash Solar Beam as well to make it worthwhile.

Garchomp snapped out of confusion! Garchomp used earthquake! Blaziken fainted! Long story short...swagger isn't a very good move :/ Blaziken can just use brick break if accuracy is a problem.
I REALLY don't recommend sunnybeaming unless it's with eggy really...few pokemon really pull it off well enough to make it worthwhile. I'd just use charizard with dragon pulse and HP grass over sunny day and solarbeam. Speaking of which, if you're gonna use rapidash, give it physical moves...PLEASE. Horn drill is a terrible move...just something that relies on luck and is a waste of a moveslot.

Scizor SHOULDN'T have speed, since scyther pulls off the sweeper sets far better. Scizor is a BPer and/or tank :/
