4th Gen Will you use the Red Gyarados?

[Lycaeus]

Yeah, it's a good HM slave and it's powerful, so why not.
Even though my starter is Totodile, it still worked through my Crystal runthrough.
Team will probably be: Feraligatr, Arcanine, Fearow/Noctowl/Pidgeot, R. Gyrados, Electric Type, Whatever I happen to fancy
​

 

[RivalGator]

More than likely I'll end up trading it. I like to use Pokemon that are completely regular in my group. But we'll see whenever I get the game.

 

[MasterChaos45]

Not sure depends If I have a good Water type by then.

 

[The Goggles]

Even though shiny pokemon are fun and all, I doubt it. Shiny pokemon are rare, but Red Gyarados isn't, so what's the point?

 

[560cool.]

Probably no , as flying type I'll have a Pidgeot and Water Type my Quagsire ...

But I'll surely train it then use it at the Pokethlon to show off 1 :]

 

[Telarus]

Eh, probably not. I'd like to use a vaporeon or some other one.

 

[arcanineflames23]

Considering that it will be one of my only shinies ( other than gamestp pichu ) I will defenitly use it!

 

[Blazing Charmander]

Totodile is going to be my starter, so with my policy of not doubling up on types in my party, I doubt i'll use the Red Gyarados in my in-game team. However, I may very well train it in my post-badge/Red quest.

Thinking about it, I never really used the Red Gyarados in Silver or Crystal apart for making up the numbers on a usually paper-thin team or using it as a HM slave. Its lack of any Physical stat also made it an unappealing choice (well, so did Feraligatr I suppose lol...), but I expect it to be a BEAST when I utilise it at some point in SoulSilver.

 

[TechnoSparkX]

im gona SR for it being adament then trade it over to platinum clone it send the original back use that and use the clones for trading

 

[Silhouette]

Probably not. It's possible that I do use it, though. However, I'm not going to get rid of it. Perhaps I'll leave it in my box for future use if I don't use it.

 

[Houndoom19]

If I don't have an awesome water type by then then I'm probably mono-typing. Either way, I won't be using it. The only way I would is if I was mono-watering, but that's unlikely.

It was cool the first time round, but the novelty's worn off now so I won't bother.

 

[Yamikarasu]

I'll probably use a different water type like Poliwag/Poliwhirl/Poliwrath instead of the Red Gyrados.

 

[RCMF13]

I don't know.

It depends on what my team turns out to be by the time I catch it.

 

[Honest]

I probably will if I ever get the game. >_<

It's a free shiny up for training. To good of an offer to pass out on. xD

 

[Bwazzam]

I most likely won't.

Since everyone else has one, it's not rare. o3o

 

[Dudypokefan89]

Back when i had the gold and silver cartridge, i used it as my main defense pokemon when going up against the rockets and others.
on my ROM versions, and on crystal ROM, i pretty much catch it for Pokemon sake.

 

[Zet]

I'll use Red Gyrados, saves time finding and catching a regular Gyrados. And it's sure to come in handy for my 8th gym battle with Clair.

 

[Amore]

Nope.

I'll catch it, but unless it's got brilliant IVs and nature or something, i'll just store it away, possibly use it for a laugh sometimes. I'll probably be using a Politoed for my water-type, and no doubt i'll catch me a Dragonite for my flying-type, so i doubt it

 

[~Gary~]

well umm

i will level it up
and then trade it for starters

 

[Masterge77]

In the original GSC, I used red Gyarados, but it's really nothing more than a shiny Gyarados, it's not like it has any special abilities distinct from any other Gyarados, really, it's just simply a Gyarados, only a diffrent color, and yet you all treat Red Gyarados like it is Lugia or some other uber-legandary, I will still catch it, but only for novelty purposes, not to be a powerhouse on my team
