Unless he comes across a Skarmory. ;D
Plus, your taunt only works on one pokemon in double battles, so either wobbuffet is taunted or the perish songer is. And if the songer is faster the gyrados, the plan is ruined.

And if the songer is faster the gyrados, the plan is ruined. Oh in a double battle, gyara can just ignore wobby and just attack all of its partners till its the only one left. And against a skarmory, once again, taunt does wonders in keeping the pokemon from using spikes and toxic and any oppnent-switching moves. All it can do is attack, and with Intimidate lowering its attack plus any lack of effecticve moves to use on gyara (unless you've trained it especially with anti-gyarados moves like rock slide or something) then it won't inflict much damage, giving gyara plenty of time to DD and then OHKO it later on, unless the trainer switches out in frustration. By then though, even with only one or two DDs gyara is strong enough to OHKO ordinary pokemon. EDIT: Oh, and in most cases gyara will be faster than the perish songer. My old gyara from Ruby was a Jolly one

Gyrados would fail against a skarmory because its number 1 offensive move is drill peck, in the metagame any way, which does normal damage to gyrados. Also, intimidate will only work if they are the first ones out or if gyrados switches in, which gives a free attack to skarmory. Plus, Gyrados's HP flying is weak against skarmory's steel type and its huge defense, you'd never get enough DD's in before it died to do any real damage.

Because if that were true than how do you explain all those skarmories I've KO'd with gyarados in netbattle? Hmmmmmm?

Wa it 1v1 or did your other pokemon do damage to their skarmory before your gyarados engaged it?
