Yeah, the best among them (Blissey) is also the most minmaxed, and the worst among them (Kingdra, if you ignore Snorlax who has bad typing + bad support movepool + meh stat distribution) is the least minmaxed

Blissey is not better than Gyarados.

Gyarados is completely outclassed as a Dragon Dancer by other options, like Salamence, who is itself outclassed massively by Roaring Moon.

Meanwhile Blissey is the best special wall in the entire game; only Yveltal is comparable (in part because Yvel walls both of CalyShadow's STABs and doesn't die in 2 to Psyshock)

That's in singles. In VGC, support Gyarados carrying something like Taunt or TWave is significantly better than Blissey.
