The Jarvan IV versus Gragas matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Jarvan IV deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Gragas deals primarily magic damage (84.54%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Jarvan IV is higher farming statistics (ranked 36th among role champions) (versus 40th for Gragas), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.8 versus 3.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Jarvan IV player to maintain constant pressure on Gragas, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
