Gyarados (Japanese: ギャラドス Gyarados, German: Garados, French: Leviator, Korean: 갸라도스 Gyaradoseu) is a Water/Flying-type Pokémon. It is fairly easily obtained (through evolution) in every Pokémon RPG except Pokémon Colosseum.
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.

- Pokémon LeafGreen

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. It's French name is a corruption ofleviathan.
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or sea serpent. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that lept 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.
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).
