Gyarados was first seen in the first generation games and was compared to looking somewhat like a dragon although it actually wasn't a dragon Pokemon. It is a powerful Pokemon possessing a great attack stat and is mainly used for its physical offense in battling. It is a flying water typed Pokemon and is evolved from the Pokemon which is considered to be ultimately useless. This Pokemon is called Magikarp. In Pokemon Silver, Gold and Crystal the player had the chance to catch them self a shiny Gyarados from the lake of rage. Despite constant speculation, Gyarados never was, and never will be, a Dragon type Pokémon, despite Lance using him in the Pokémon League.

In The Anime

Gyarados is seen in the anime a couple of times, mostly in an angry state. James of Team Rocket owned a Magikarp that evolved into Gyarados as he kicked it just before releasing it. Gyarados is also a pokemon that Misty obtains. She finds it back at her gym, and befriends it by the end of the Pokemon Inspection Agencies tests.
