Here are the best moves for Gyarados to learn:

• Aqua Tail
• Crunch
• Thunder Wave/Dragon Dance/Protect
• Earthquake

Aqua Tail provides a strong STAB physical attack option. Gyarados learns it at level 32. Before getting this, you can use Waterfall. Crunch is a powerful Dark-type move that gains STAB when Gyarados Mega Evolves.

For a non-damaging move, Gyarados should use one of these: Thunder Wave (paralyzes the opponent), Dragon Dance (boosts Attack and Speed by one stage), or Protect (blocks attacks). To wrap things up, you should have Earthquake on your Gyarados to take care of its Electric and Rock weaknesses

Best nature for Gyarados in Pokemon Legends Z-A

Gyarados should have Adamant (+Atk., -Sp. Atk.) or Jolly (+Spe., -Sp. Atk.) as its nature, as these help you make the most out of the creature's stats. The former is useful if you want to overwhelm your opponent with force, and the latter comes in handy when going up against spammy opponents.

Here's how to get each of these Nature Mints:

• Adamant Mint: Vendor sells the Adamant Mint at Rogue Sector 1
• Jolly Mint: Purchased at a store in Vert Sector 6
