4th Gen Did you use the Red Gyarados?

By surfing into the middle of the Lake of Rage, the player will encounter a red Gyarados. Did you use catch the red Gyarados? Use is on your team? Maybe decided it wasn't a "real" shiny and decided to box it?

I got him and named him Fred to pair with my other Gyarados, George. :') What a cute majestic team

;') a pair of gyarados... what could go wrong aside from demolishing the entire game lmfao

i caught him and only used him maybe a maximum of one time. by the time i got to him i already had the specific water-type i wanted to use on my team. so sadly he sat and rotted in the pc :(

I normally save a spot for a Water-type and use the Gyarados. Sometimes I'll catch a Quagsire instead but I don't do that most playthroughs.

and omg fred and george the gyarados combo ^__^

Yes, I did. I can't remember where I last left him though. Probably in the PokéBank by now. . . I really should check up on it.

Yep... I did xD

I probably used it as an HM slave, to be honest.

I caught him and used him as a HM slave for the rest of the game I don't recall ever using him though.

I've never been a big fan of Gyarados, so while I did catch it I never used it.

I usually always use the Red Gyarados, it was super cool but very overpowered haha. I think my last playthrough of SS was the first time I didn't use it, with a Slowbro taking its place, a worthy replacement.

Once I have the games, I'll catch one and name it Vladimir. In Soviet Russia, Pokemon catch you!

Of course I did! It is not only a striking sight to see in crimson but Gyarados is one of the best Pokemon out there. With access to moves such as ice fang or outrage Gyarados is especially useful in HG SS if you're looking for a dragon slayer to check Lance and Claire. Since I always snag a Gyarados anyway, I certainly couldn't object to one in my favorite color. I collect these things! Chalice, Morai, Emperor and Pyke are my newest friends.

I didn't use him on my main team but I caught him because he was shiny probably like everyone else

I just banked them, I already had a shiny on one of my HG/SS teams anyway. I try not to use the 'event' Pokemon much unless I planed on that Pokemon being on my team.

Just make sure Fred doesn't faint! ;_;


As for me, never really used it as I always have Feraligatr anyway.

Since I starter with totodile I put it staight in the PC

I caught the Gyarados, named it Gyro(why did I name it this, the world may never know)
It proved a huge asset against Clair and Lance, also means I did not have to level up a magikarp.
