Milotic or Gyarados?

I love Milotic, it's so beautiful.

buuuuuuut...

Gyarados makes a great pokemon to battle. Better stats, better results. Nuff said.
It's sort of hard for me to pinpoint my favorite because both have things about them that annoy me.

I can't stand how you have to max out Feebas's beauty just to evolve it. I really can't explain to you how frustrated I was after leveling up a Feebas past 50 thinking, "Oh it will evolve at some point." just to find out the sad truth. ;o; Although according to Serebii you can now evolve Feebas by trading it with Clean Scales? Sounds better then maxing out beauty, but I can't stand trading either. :D

The only thing that bothers me about Gyarados is the fact that it's a physical attacker. I like all my water types to be special attackers because they benefit a lot more off of Surf (a move I pretty much equip any water Pokemon with on my team) then a physical Pokemon does. Dumb reason, I know, but it still bothers me to some extent.

I guess after really thinking about it I like Milotic more. I prefer the design and the stat distribution much more so then Gyarados. It's just the whole finding a Feebas and evolving it part that's a pain.

I tend to be more about offence than defence, so I'd have to say Gyarados. He was always my favorite water Pokemon and always one of the only water Pokemon I actually liked. I've beaten a great many Pokemon Leagues and gyms with him on my team. ;3

I don't like Milotic at all. I don't even think Milotic is that nice looking.

This is a tricky one...I'll go with Milotic. Why? Well, I like both designs, but Milotic is the ugly Pokemon that became a Pokemon of beauty, and requires a lot more work to obtain than simply levelling a fish to level 20.

Gyarados, mainly because I never used Milotic before in battle. (And because Cynthia's Milotic would annoy me in D/P/P)

This is a tough one because it is dead difficult to choose between two remarkable Pokemon. But I went for Milotic in the end because of its defense. Milotic is a total headache for your opponent if you can make full use of its potential. A nice moveset and Milotic is yet another match winning Pokemon. Same goes for Gyarados as well.

Appearance wise, Milotic looks better than Gyarados. A mysterious yet sleek design is absolutely enthralling.

which wateropokemon has aqua ring and gets bnetter after being tortured by a toxic or falme? and uses recover and waterfall or surf when it's in trouble, well it's hands down right

Milotic is a lot better plus it's harder to get and kill, and it's more worth training.

gyrados, because i prefer attack vs. defend

If you think about it the difference usually is from gender preference, where gyrados is bulk and strong focus, while milotic focuses more on beauty.....

Milotic looks a lot nicer and doesn't have a 4x Electric weakness. Easy choice for me.

This is a hard one. Well based on looks of course Milotic will win. In battle both of them wins, but it came close and I perfer Gyarados over Milotic, just by a hair. Come to think of it......could Milotic be considered a "dragon"?

I gotta vote for Milotic. I love its design. =] And yeah, as Elite Overlord LeSabre™ stated, Gyarados has that weakness thing going on, so... Milotic. ^..^

I like both of them but Gyarados is better for me because it's a good attacker and competitive battler. Milotic does look a little better than Gyarados though.

Well I like both of them, but I have been liking Gyarados longer... :P
I really don't know which I'd prefer, but I'll go with Gyarados.
