  • It really depended on how I felt at the time and if it was in a challenge or not. If I was feeling unsure about the Rocket hideout, I'd use it to storm the hideout. In my Solo Challenge with Luna(Gardevoir), I made it my whirlpool slave since I already made my other Gyarados a HM Slave(Surf, Waterfall, Strength, Rock Smash). In my flying monotype, it became one of my main fighters. If I felt like being silly, I'd just use it as a double battle partner. Usually, I'd box it to never see the dark of night.

  • Caught it, never used it again. Not that you shouldn't use it, it was just that I though it would be overpowered and ruin the game for some reason back then XD

    Mine usually ended up having a bad nature, so I've always just tossed it into a box. Also, I've usually already planned what Water-type to use beforehand, and it just so happens that I never really pick Gyarados (owing to how often I used it in earlier games).

    Surprised so many boxed it! Gyarados was very helpful in beating the league champion. Ice fang ko'd all three of lance's dragonite :D. And hydro pump was probably my only chance of knocking that houndoom off earlier.

  • It went into the magical black hole that was my PC box, never to see the light of the sun ever again in endless stasis.

    Boxed. But I occasionally use it in the Pokéathlon and Battle Frontier.

    That was something I actually used it for @ Pokealthlon, just to try it out. I found it did pretty well at jumping which is fitting given what it is based off. =p

  • I boxed it, which is odd, considering it never left my team in the original G/S/C. I guess I just wanted to branch out a bit, I dunno.
