Broken Pokemon of the Year

First Mewtwo, then Zacian, and now Gyarados. I tried it in a bot match and everyone was dead in a grand total of two seconds. What are your thoughts?

    I haven't played Gyrados yet, so I dunno.

    Gyrados is, unfortunately, hot #️⃣#️⃣#️⃣#️⃣. While it does level early if it has a good teamate, it has to rely on said ally teammate as a Majikarp, and good luck if your paired with bottom Cinderace or something.

    (Yes, it's forced to level. No, it doesn't help because it's Unite is so pathetic I don't even remember what it does and im a Unite vet. Seriously, what happened here.)

    @Kieraste Dragon Current basically makes you charge up and release, dealing damage in an area. There are some other features about it that I don’t remember. And it doesn’t evolve at a certain level, it evolves when its “Effort Meter” is full.
