What Pokemon should I replace Gyarados with for my Sword/Shield team?

Question

I wanted to add a Pokémon with a type that I currently do not have in my team. I have dragon, ghost, rock, fire, grass, steel, flying, electric and poison and I used to have gyrarados with a water flying combo but I already have corviknight, so now I need a replacement. I was thinking inteleon but I’m pretty sure there are better options.

What do you want to do with this team? Do you want to battle other people, the Battle Tower, in-game trainers, or something else?

Answer 1

I guess you want a water type on your team and by looking at the typings I noticed you also don't have a ground type. Water ground is an good type combination with your only weakness being grass 4x. your other teammates cover that weakness very well with dragon - fire - grass - steel - flying and poison resisting it.
Water ground is a very defensive typing with gastrodon and quagsire. Between those two its just your personal prefence of which one you want to use.
