It's absolutely clear who in this thread has faced a d-max gyarados in singles vs. who hasn't. There is no strategy around this mechanic. Your "counterplay" is always "try to stall out as many turns as possible so they only end up killing 1 or 2 of your pokemon instead of 3", unless it's Gyarados or any hyper offensive mon. Then it's just "d-max your own pokemon and hope that they were stupid enough to do it while you had the type advantage, because there's no switching in to a +1 speed Gyarados in the rain".
