Gyarados

Gyarados is a species of Pokémon, that first appeared in Pokémon Red and Blue, and every non spin-off game from then on. It is found almost anywhere in every region when fishing with a super rod.

Creature description

Gyarados is a colossal blue sea serpent with an intimidating, whiskered face. As stated in the Pokédex, when Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, its brain cells undergo a structural transformation, which is said to be blamed for its wildly violent nature. Brutally vicious and enormously destructive, it can rampage for an entire month and can totally annihilate an entire major city with its Hyper Beam battle technique. Once it goes on a rampage, its ferociously violent blood not settle until it has razed the fields and mountains around it and demolished everything. It is rarely seen in the wild, but appears whenever there is world conflict, burning down any place it travels through with intensely hot flames. They say that during the past wars, it would appear and leave blazing ruins in its wake, and it has destroyed cities in ancient times.

A powerful Pokemon, it ironically evolves from Magikarp, one of the weakest Pokémon in the series, similar to Feebas evolving into Milotic. It is a Water/Flying type, and its ability to use many terrain-crossing moves called HMs combined with its power and easy availability (evolves from a common Pokemon, Magikarp, and evolves at a low level, 20), it is often on many Pokémon teams in the Kanto region. It has been in every regional main series Pokédexes from its conception. It will often have a short temper, so it will attack anything it's mad at.

There is also the legendary red Gyarados. At the beginning of Pokemon Daimond and Pearl, Your rival says that he wants to go with you to catch it. It evolves from a golden Magicarp.
