Shadow Gyarados

GBL Note Analysis

Basis: PvPoke simulation · last-30-day field meta · S27 New Beginnings

✔ Strengths & how to use

• Its Lead · Switch role scores are all high, so it isn't tied to one slot and can flex across positions.
• It posts favorable results against current field-meta staples White Kyurem(#5) · Palkia (Origin)(#6) · Ho-Oh(#12), giving it real value as a meta counter.
• On defense it double-resists Ground · resists Fire · Water · Fighting · Bug · Steel, holding up well against those attackers.

⚠ Weaknesses & threats

• On defense it is doubly weak to Electric · is weak to Rock, so watch out for those attackers.
• It's notably unfavored into Zacian (Crowned Sword) (usage rank #2), common right now, so dodging that matchup is safer in the current meta.
