Gyarados-Mega works to weaken the foe's team by removing items from its foes, which allows it to punish Imposter on the switch-in, while providing a free switch-in opportunity for Groudon. With Mortal Spin afflicting Imposter, and any Pokemon that lost their Covert Cloak due to Knock Off, Groudon serves as a way to remove hazards, spread status, and break past Fur Coat Pokemon like Dondozo, thanks to Solar Beam. Gyarados-Mega also appreciates Groudon being able to tank Electric hits. Fishous Rend also lets it serve as a powerful sweeper, with Magic Bounce and Covert Cloak shrugging off status moves and secondary effects. Lastly, Groudon's Bitter Blade is a cruel 202.5 Base power under the sun, and allows it to recover quite a lot of damage, whereas it would otherwise be forced to use its PP on Heal Order and lose momentum. Both bulky, and strong, each is built to last.
