I didn't ask for sass you know. Nor did I think Gyarados was a god sweeper. One, I personally just love Gyarados. Even if it was weak as shit, I'd still want it because Gyarados is baller as frick. It's just so amazing looking. Two, I wanted to use him as a survival tactic since I know that no matter how I personally raise him, he won't be able to sweep a god. I don't care for EV training. It's too hard and honestly, it takes the fun out of the game for me.
Mostly though I just wanted to have him cause I love him. Who wouldn't? Haha. But I can understand the reason why the event itself wasn't axed from what you said. Still Vinny, I didn't need the sass in there. Like I said I will just figure out a new team and go with that. I might even take to where you suggested to get team advice.
