Do you guys think gyarados is worth using on my team in gold? I caught the red one at lake of rage. I’m still going to get lapras and probably evolve my Eevee into a Vaporeon so I feel like that would be too many water types. Unless you are doing a mono Water type team I'd highly recommend not using three full/part Pokemon of any one specific type.
All three of those Waters are great but I think Lapras would be the best choice overall. It gets STAB on Ice Beam which is rare in this generation since they don't have Ice Beam as a TM (just Crystal move tutor move for 4,000 coins which is some BS since you can't clone spam it on people!). Vaporeon would be second imo since in Gen 2 all Water moves go off of Special Attack and Vaporeon has much higher Special Attack (110 vs 60 *high Special Attack is also good for using Bite and Aurora Beam or whatever Ice move you get*).
Thanks! Think I’ll leave off gyarados entirely then and maybe look into a different evolve form for eevee.

Yeah Espeon is the best Eevee evolution in Gen 2 since you don't need to wait forever to get the stone to evolve it and Espeon is just easier to use in the actual game than Umbreon.
EDIT:
I forgot to note in here that I caught my third shiny Mankey today. So not the best shiny for me but I'll take it.

Lost to Claire twice in Gold, lol. Can't beat her even using potions and revives. My current team is:
Eevee- 45 Typhlosion- 42 Lapras- 23 (caught late in the game so it's underleveled)
Probably going to add a couple of more pokemon to my team and grind everybody up more before fighting claire again. Definitely need an electric type still and to evlove Eevee.

Got a Shiny Terrakion in Ultra Moon at 455 resets to complete the Swords of Justice in shiny form. Also got a Shiny Trapinch at 65 SOS encounters and Shiny Phantump at 250 SOS to complete that line.

How has your Eevee not evolved yet?
I think if you train Lapras up to like 30-35 you should be good but you really should catch some more people.
Her Kingdra is a b*tch so you need a Grass Pokemon since they resist Surf and can probably paralyze/sleep it and maybe Leech Seed it.
Tangela, Weepinbell, and Jumpluff seem like your best choices. All get Sleep Powder and Stun Spore but only Jumpluff gets Leech Seed.

Her Kingdra is most definitely a bitch, lmao. Plus she used a hyper potion on it in the second battle right after I ran out of healing items. Eevee can evolve anywhere from level 42-46 from what I googled, so it's should be next level.

When you finally beat her you will confirm what I'm telling you lol.
I should note that I caught a shiny Murkrow in Pokemon Go so that was cool. It doesn't have good IVs or a strong CP but I'll take it. I've been looking for one forever now.

Really wanted to do a playthrough of Red with Charmander as my starter. Was finding it really difficult putting a team together though. I settled on this one. I have 4 badges so far and my team at the moment is:
Charizard Clefable Gloom Vaporeon Dodrio
Gonna go and grind on the trainers below Lavender Town to get my Gloom to learn Petal Dance do I can evolve it. Last team member will be from the Safari Zone, never used Rhydon in Gen 1 so thought that could be fun.

Shame Charizard can't learn Fly on R/B but if you can trade I wonder if you can trade it to Yellow and teach it there and trade it back?
Gloom sticking around til level 38 is kinda rough but then again your future Rhyhorn will have to wait to evolve til level 42 so it might be fine.

Got my copy of Pokemon Sun in the mail yesterday, there’s a few hunts I want to do island scan wise that aren’t available in Ultra.
Well I just made it to the third island and was purposely grinding my team on Route 11, in the hopes of getting a shiny Komala. I’ve done this two or three times in my Ultra games and had no luck but tonight was the night. Was nearly finished training and boom it appeared!
So happy, it’s one I’ve wanted since the games came out and never hunt for since you can’t SOS it. Very pleased 😊

Finished Pokemon Sun tonight. All prepared for shiny hunting now, even did my first SOS chain for Sandile and got it in under 50 encounters. Doing the second one now, at 200 for a second Sandile (I need 3 for the whole line for my living dex).

Enjoying this event already, scored a shiny Lotad. Hoping I manage a shiny of pretty much anything else that’s spawning with the event... Omanyte, Tangela, Aerodactyl. Or a Kabuto since the mini nest where I live is currently spawning Kabuto.
Side note: Not sure why the announcement for the event says “If you’re lucky, you may even run into a Shiny Lotad!“ Yeah, Lotad and all the others mons that can be shiny. Lotad has been shiny eligible for a while.

I really want a shiny Lotad, Tangela, and Aerodactyl.
I did get two shinies yesterday which was cool even if I already had them.
One was a shiny shadow Ekans from Jessie. The second was my 3rd shiny Sneasel. The park where I walk my grandma's dog is a Sneasel nest atm so I got lucky.

Got my 3 Shiny Sandiles so I have the whole line. Also got a Shiny Cottonee and evolved it so that lines complete now too. Started hunting on Omega Ruby for a bit, but I might play through Ultra Sun for a bit as there’s a few Shiny Legendarys I need in that.

I also caught my first shiny Lotad in my friend's house before AEW's All Out started so that was a welcome surprise.
The poor thing sucks IV wise but whatever.
