If the user stays underwater for a set amount of time, it creates a whirlpool where it surfaces, applying a continuous slowing effect to opposing Pokemon it hits. If the user stays underwater for an even longer amount of time, it creates a waterspout where it surfaces, throwing opposing Pokemon it hits.

How to Use Dragon Current

Initiate Fights

Dragon Current is a great way to start fights and give Gyarados' team a nice advantage to win it. Since Gyarados gains invincibility while it's submerged during Dragon Current, it can easily and safely get close to opponents and set up for its allies.

Maximize Time Submerged

It's best to wait until the third bar is filled up before resurfacing. Doing so creates a large waterspout on Gyarados' position that knocks up opponents and deals a ton of damage.

Watch Out for Walls

Walls on the map or created by opponents can block Gyarados' movement during Dragon Current, so it's best to go around them.
