Hey Pojo, I'm writing this article to help try to clear up confusion
between which is the better card, Dewgong or Gyrados. First, let's take
a look at the stats:
Dewgong:
Gyrados:
Winner:
Stage 1- evolves from Seel Stage 1- evolves from Magikarp
Dewgong
This one is easy. Magikarp could be called worst card in the game, while
Seel is so-so.
Dewgong:
Gyrados: Winner:
80 HP
100 HP Gyrados
20 more HP can be invaluable at times when facing a Chansey, Arcanine,
etc.
Dewgong:
Gyrados:
Winner:
WWC-Auoroa Beam-50 WWW-Dragon Rage-50
Dewgong
The energy difference really doen't matter in mono-water decks, but can
be critical in two-type decks.
Dewgong:
Gyrados:
Winner:
WWCC-Ice Beam-30-flip a WWWW-Bubblebeam-40-flip a
TIE
coin, heads, paralyis coin, heads, paralyis
Although Gyrados does more damage, Dewgong is MUCH easier to charge up.
Dewgong:
Gyrados:
Winner:
Weakness: Electric Weakness: Grass
Gyrados
No electric weakness makes Gyrados much more favorable in a Raindance.
Dewgong:
Gyrados:
Winner:
Resistance: None Resistance: Fighting
Gyrados
This is the point where Gyrados makes up for having such a bad basic.
Resistance to what is arguably the most common type is impeccable.
Dewgong:
Gyrados:
Winner:
Reatreat Cost: CCC Retreat Cost: CCC
TIE
Not much to say.
Dewgong:
Gyrados:
Winner:
Uncommon
Rare Holographic
Dewgong
Nice advantage of the Big Seal. He's about 15 times easier to get.
Final Results:
Wins For Dewgong:3 Wins For Gyrados:3
Ties:2
A TIE!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry people, but there is just no way to put one over the other. Until
one is proven better ust this rule of thumb: Mono deck(Raindance)- Use
Gyrados, Multicolor deck- Use Dewgong. Thanks for reading!!
