[SET]

move 2: Bounce/Stone Edge
move 3: Waterfall
move 4: Thunder wave
item: Leftovers/Life Orb
nature: Adamant
EVs: 120 HP/128 Atk/76 Def/184 Spe
Why this set deserves to be on-site:
-This has been proven successful
-Everyone can counter standard DD Gyara, but this version is unexpected.
-Abusing Gyarados in a new way.
-You can use the extra power of Adamant with this set because you still outspeed everything after a TW.
Additional Comments:
-156 HP / 88 Atk / 96 Def / 168 Spe and Jolly nature allows you to outspeed Jolteon after a DD
-Ground pokemon (Who are immune to thunder wave) such as Flygon and Gliscor don't generally switch in, as they're afraid of a powerful STAB waterfall.
-When using Adamant nature, use this EV spread 120 HP/128 Atk/76 Def/184 Spe
Teammates and Counters:
-Is stopped by Scarfed Rotom forms that avoid a TW, and Jolteon can be a problem.
-Choice Band Scizor and/or Tyranitar with Pursuit makes a good teammate, and they can trap and kill Rotom.
-Slower pokemon such as Machamp do well along with Gyarados, as Thunder Wave helps them a lot.
-Sub-thunder wave Jirachi makes a great teammate, as the help each other out.
