Hi,
I have a Gyarados 100% with Dragon Tail/Outrage, this is the best moveset for ir?

And I have a Flareon 93% level 30, with Ember/Flamethrower, I should use change only the fast attack or both?

It depends on your purpose. Gyarados has the strongest Hydro Pump, which is a fine moveset combined with DT or B.

If you wanna counter a psychic pokemon, Bite/Crunch is your choice.

If you wanna counter Dragons, go for DT/O

Basically, don't go for Bite/Outrage or Dragon Tail/Crunch

B/O is an okay offensive moveset against Dragonite if you want to dodge a bit easier.

Dt/C is an okay defensive moveset, but not something to strive for. Definitely a top list candidate for TMs. Nice thing is you can go either fast or charge TM to get something good.

"Best" moveset comes down to how you want to use your Gyarados.

DT O has the highest DPS in a neutral settting I believe, or very close to DT HP if not.

Good if you want it for sweeping gyms. For raids there are usually better Pokemon or better movesets

For example, Bite Crunch has a niche against a Mewtwo with Focus Blast because Gyarados' flying type resists fighting while Tyranitar is double weak and will probably get one-shot by it.

Flamethrower on Flareon is a great move. Even though does the lowest cycle DPS of the 3 charge moves, all of the moves are close in damage, but it has the advantage of hitting fast, having a low cooldown and being 2 bar.

Sometimes your Pokemon can faint during the charge move animation for a long move like Fire Blast or Overheat, or you faint before you reach 100 energy, where Flamethrower has the advantage, so I would suggest keeping Flamethrower but change Ember to Fire Spin, it's much better.
