SP.ATK:Who Cares
SP.DEF:31
SPD:28

This is his set-notice his EV spread

Nature:Adamant
Waterfall
EQ
Dragon Dance
Taunt


What is the standard Taunt/Bulkydos EV spread?

Should I shoot for higher IV's?

My Gyarados has these.

HP 30-31

ATT 30-31

DEF 15-19

SP.ATT 10-14

SP.DEF 20-24

SPEED 30-31



Only if mine had your defense and special defense XD, i say we breed them both together, then we would have one pwnage Gyarados lol


Anyways it needs more Hp, maybe a little more attack, but everything else on it is fine though.

Standard Bulky Gyarados EV spread is : 214 HP / 16 ATTACK / 180 DEFENSE / 100 SPEED

Well he would be OHKo'd easier. Not a good thing. HP would be kinda nice to have on G-Dos. The attack doesn't seem too low to me. But you could strive for 29-31. XD.

Well with the EV spread 214 HP / 16 ATTACK / 180 DEFENSE / 100 SPEED, its meant to switch into Heracross and Garchomp, and take as little damage as possible.

well yours will have around 353-354 HP at level 100, its max is 384, so its your call.

Only problem is that with max att and max speed EVS, it can no longer switch into Garchomp and Heracross etc.




EDIT : Ok sims ill start the breding straight away, it takes what 250 steps for Magikarp eggs to hatch lol ??

Thanks to Dark, I got these IV's:

Magikarp 1(FEMALE)
HP:21
ATK:31
DEF:10
SP.ATK:X
SP.DEF:31
SPD:24

Magikarp 2 (MALE)
HP:24
ATK:24
DEF:19
SP.ATK:X
SP.DEF:30
SPD:28

Which should I use? The first seems tempting, but she will fall a bit easier to Stone Edge. Then there #2, noticably inferior ATK, but better elsewhere.

It should be told I wanted a female Gyarados, but I'll be flexible.

Looks like the Gyarados i gave ya helped lol

Id say second one, its more Bulky so it would be perfect for Bulkydos.

However first one could be a Choice Band or Scarf Monster.

My Gyarados goes


HP - 31
ATK - 31
DEF - 9 (Intimidate)
SPD - 31
SAK - 29
SDF - 28

It's one of my spectacular breeds, in Emerald :P (Next to Gengar who wins because of HP Ice)

It needs to have a very defensive IV setup, mine lacks what Intimidate covers, but.. YOU NEED MORE HP!

oh, I'm sorry, I was referring to the first one with 1 HP IV, good luck with that XD

As for the other ones, they look rather fine actually, Intimidate covers the Def. IV

EDIT:
I best breeder bow down to me you minion

uh oh.. that defense IV O_O

1tz t1m3 f0r pWn4g3!!!!111

*goes breeding some magicrap magikarp*

My brother and I work as a team on breeding, he finds the best Swamperts fer me lol

The ultimate Intimidate on Gaia rocks, especially if he can't switch! MOCK GAIA MOCK!

For the moves on Gyara... lacking a STAB is not instant death. Earthquake and Ice Fang has a good coverage already

EDIT: I almost forgot! My Gyara VS Dark Azelf's Gyara! Intimidate annoyance! W00T!
