Gyarados (Japanese: ギャラドス Gyarados) is a Water/Flying-type Pokémon. It is fairly easily obtained (through evolution) in every Pokémon RPG except Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
Gyarados comes with the Ability Intimidate, which lowers opponents' physical attack rating one level when it enters battle.
Gyarados evolves from Magikarp starting at Level 20.
Biology
Physiology
Gyarados is a large dragon Pokémon most similar in appearance to those seen in Chinese mythology. Its serpentine body is largely blue, but its underbelly is yellow and its fins are white. It has four such white fins down its back. Its mouth is very large and gaping, but bares some semblance to that of its pre-evolution Magikarp. Like Magikarp, it has barbels on the its face.
Gender differences
A female has white barbels.
Special abilities
Gyarados, like most dragon-like Pokémon, has a high attack stat, relying mostly on attacks than specials. Dragon Dance appears to be its signature move, increasing its already-high attack, and its speed. Dragon Rage also seems to be one of its older signature moves.
Behavior
This Pokémon bares little resemblance to its docile pre-evolution. Gyarados is infamously known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. Once it has worked itself into a frenzy it will not calm until everything around it is destroyed, this is attributed to the dramatic structural changes its brain undergoes during evolution. It seems attracted to violence: although this Pokémon is vary rarely seen in the wild, they appear during times of human conflict Gyarados are said to appear, burning entire cities down to the ground.
Habitat
Gyarados are extremely rare, and usually not seen in the wild. They usually live in large bodies of water, such as lakes and ponds. The Lake of Rage is a known nesting area for a red Gyarados.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
Gyarados was first seen in Pokémon Shipwreck. James was frustrated with his Magikarp and kicked it into the water. That Magikarp evolved into a Gyarados.
A Gyarados was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by Mewtwo in Mewtwo Strikes Back.
Trinity used a Gyarados in her battle against Misty in the Whirl Cup in The Perfect Match.
Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution and Rage Of Innocence focused on a red Gyarados. It was on a destructive rampage until Lance captured it. This Gyarados appeared again in Gaining Groudon and The Scuffle of Legends to stop the feuding of Groudon and Kyogre.
Misty obtained a Gyarados after passing the PIA test in Cerulean Blues.
A Gyarados appears in DP047.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Special manga
Gyarados debuts in the Red, Green & Blue chapter in its own round, Gyarados Splashes In!. Here, an enraged one attacks its own trainer, Misty, but is recaught by Red and supposedly gived back to her. The drastic change of attitude of the Pokémon was the result of a Team Rocket experiment as is shown in Raging Rhydon.
Later on, Misty traded this Gyarados to Red in exchange for Red's Krabby.
Gyarados is later seen with Lance, using its Bubblebeam to shield him from the lava of Mt. Cerise.
A Red Gyarados was seen in the Lake of Rage 3 years later, but it was caught by Silver. It had the ability to control the other Gyarados in the lake.
When Red borrows Green's Charizard to travel to Mt. Silver, he temporarily trades his Gyarados to Green. It later appears as one of Green's Pokémon in Template:PSV, used against Entei and later, part of his revealed team during the Gym Leader faceoff. Prior to the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Green returns Gyarados to Red.
Both Gyarados have remained on their Trainer's teams to this day.

Trivia
- According to some Nintendo of America artwork, Gyarados was originally slated to have the English name Skullkraken, a combination of the words "skull" and "kraken" (a mythological sea monster).
- Oddly, despite being part Template:Type2, it isn't able to learn Flying-type moves. However it can learn certain Template:Type2 moves, such as Dragon Rage, Twister, and DragonBreath. There is some speculation that its secondary type was supposed to be Dragon instead of Flying. Also its dual Water/Flying type could of been given to "tone it down" because it is a powerful Pokémon but it does quadruple damage if hit by a Template:Type2 move.
- In Generation II, it became the first and only shiny Pokémon to be integrated into a game's plot, along with being the only 100% certain shiny encounter.
Origin
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or sea serpent. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles.
Name origin
Gyarados's name may be derived from a combination of 虐殺 gyakusatsu massacre/slaughter, and 逆境 gyakkyō, hardship/adversity. Both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. The dos may just indicate that it's the second in its evolutionary line.
