Gyro Ball Competitive Analysis

Gyro Ball is a strong damaging move that increases power the slower your Pokemon is. This move is often paired with a Pokemon that thrives under Trick Room as it allows you to deal massive damage while going first.

How to Build a Trick Room Team

Steelix is a notable Gyro Ball user as it can also learn Curse. Curse lowers your Speed while boosting your Attack and Special Attack by one stage each.
