Is Starmie better than Gyarados in the Battle Frontier?
It has some coverage I am looking for like being able to learn BoltBeam as well as being a powerful special attacker.
I caught a Staryu with a Timid nature and about 15 SpA IVs and 6 Spd IVs. The only special attack I ran on my earlier Tower Gold Print winning team was Flamethrower on Infernape.
Also, is Hydro Pump necessary or is Surf with Choice Specs enough?
I am planning to EV train it
