Dragon Dance Gyarados or Dragon Dance Kingdra?

Considering that gyarados has intimidate NOT moxie so please dont bring that up

They both learn good attacking moves that provide near perfect coverage(Waterfall and bounce only resisted by lanturn and empoleon and rotomw)(Outrage and waterfall only resisted by empoleon and ferrothron)Gyarados has much higher attack but kingdra has outrage which has much higher power than any of gyarados’s moves which basically makes them have equal powerKingdra has only 1 weakness while gyarados has 2 and one of them is a crippling electric weakness which is a quite popular attacking type in ou right now

So which one would work better?

Gyarados.

Creds to kyron for dis set:

Kingdra is UU for a reason. Swift Swim and Drizzle are banned. Kingdra’s use is Rain.

Well, you have mentioned some good points, and I would say Kingdra. As you said, that Electric weakness is pretty bad as of late. Kingdra also works better on a Rain team IMO, due to Swift Swim. Sniper is also a nice option to have.May I also add that Kingdra was blessed with even stats, making it quite possible for it to survive longer while setting up D-Dance. Gyarados just doesn’t have any Defensive Bulk.Edit: Just remembered Intimidate on Gyarados. Thought I should mention that that Attack lowering ability does nothing against Discharge.

Just as a side note, Bounce isn’t really a great move for competitive battling.

Kingdra in my opinion.It only has one weakness and has more coverage to me.Don’t get me wrong.Gyarados has awesome attack power,but if you are not fast enough to clear electric types goodbye gyarados.So in my opinion kingdra is a much better choice.
