Gyarados - How to Get and Location, Evolution, and Research Tasks
Gyarados benefits most from the Adamant Nature. The increase in Attack allows Gyarados to better utilize its physical offense. Since most of its attacks are physical, it won't mind the drop in Special Attack.
While a speed increasing nature is often considered for battles in mainline Pokemon games, it doesn't play as big of a factor in Legends: Arceus due to every Pokemon's access to the Agile and Strong Styles. Make up for lower speed by planning around your turn order.
Agile and Strong Styles: How to Master Moves
Unfortunately for Gyarados, it doesn't have as good of a learnset in Legends: Arceus. However, it still can take advantage of its high Attack Stat with strong physical moves.
Aqua Tail and Outrage are the most reliable moves for Gyarados with decent power, accuracy, and PP. The Water/Dragon type combination is unresisted by every Pokemon in the game bar Empoleon, guaranteeing a strong hit no matter what you hit. Bulldoze offers good coverage allowing it to hit Steel-types and a way to fight back against Electric-types in a pinch.
This moveset also proves useful against the most difficult battles in the game. Gyarados has key resistances against Volo's Lucario and Arcanine. It can also pack Iron Head for Togekiss or Ice Fang for Garchomp and Giratina.
