Gyarawak v2

by Nnico Iosi

This team still functions essentially the same way as v1, but I focussed more on bulk, since Marowak didn't have use for the speed anymore. The gameplan shifted more towards paralyzing every opponent to let Maro/Lax/Meta outspeed. Gengar didn't seem that important, so I switched it out for Latios, another mon that could sponge some attacks directed at Marowak and would really take advantage of Gyarados setting up Icy Wind. I switched Endure for Protect on Starmie, since I didn't feel comfortable leaving it at 1 HP and thought it might naturally live attacks that could put it in Petaya range. I made Metagross bulky as well and gave it enough speed to outspeed 115s after 2 Icy Winds. I gave Snorlax Body Slam as another means of paralyzing, which this team relied on a lot. If you use this team, don't leave your Gyarados without Marowak on the field or it will get zapped immediately and protect with Marowak a lot, because that's how you give Gyarados more longevity and opportunities to slow down the opponent. Ultimately, I felt I needed Protect on Gyarados but wasn't comfortable dropping either Icy Wind or Leer and I'm not sure if I made the right decision by swapping Gengar for Latios and not keeping up with the Metagross speed wars.
