You people can advocate Moxmence all you want but Gyarados can single handedly annihilate teams with just 1 Dragon Dance, although 2 is preferred. While Gyarados is weak to electric, Breloom and Latios should be able to help with taking electric moves, and Gyarados is not weak to Ice, something that your team appears to have trouble with. Gyarados can take Fire moves for Breloom, Fighting moves aimed at Cloyster, and Ground and Water moves directed at Heatran.

Leftovers is perfectly viable but having Gyarados hold a Water Gem gives your first use of Waterfall a 50% boost, helping to get the intial KO needed to set the ball rolling for Moxie, allowing you to use the resulting attack boost to further your sweep and so on. Dragon Dance is essential for raising your Speed to adequate levels, and while 1 Dragon Dance is usually enough, if you are given the chance to set up another, take it. Waterfall is STAB and at +1 with a Water Gem boost you’ve got a high chance of going to +2, if you know what I mean. Ice Fang hits Dragon types and Earthquake covers steel types. Gyarados is not a sweeper to be underestimated, as it can relentlessly pulverize unprepared teams (And some that are), with relative ease. Just make sure you get at least 1 Dragon Dance up or you will usually be revenged.

Salamence for coverage or your team will be vulnerable to lightning with the exception of Breloom.

Plus Salamence has better overall stats.

~ Dragon Dance~ Outrage / Dragon Claw~ Earthquake~ Fire Blast / Hydro Pump / Flamethrower252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 SpeFeast your eyes on one of the best Dragon Dance users in BW2 OU. With Dragon Dance, Moxie, and Outrage now legal on the same set, this already powerful set is now so powerful it’s ridiculous. Outrage at +1 already hits everything that isn’t a Steel-type hard, so how about a +2 Outrage, or even a +3 Outrage? Despite the sheer power behind Outrage, Dragon Claw is always a viable alternative in order to avoid being locked into your STAB move against a Steel-type. For covering said Steel-types, Earthquake is used for hitting Heatran and Jirachi, while Fire Blast is used in order to hit Skarmory, Forretress, and Ferrothorn. However, if Salamence is being used on a Rain team, Hydro Pump is an option to OHKO Gliscor after Stealth Rock; additionally, Hydro Pump still hits Skarmory and Forretress on their weak Special Defense.
