I usually box him, though I think I used him once on my team, and once as an HM slave. The reason I usually box him is 'cause I mostly use Slowbro as my water type.

I used him in my original run through but I hate the fact everyone gets a Shiny Gyarados, it was put into Gold to show off shinies and be unique but in this day and age I wish it were a normal one. :(

I usually only train it when I feel like it, so it's not a regular member of my party. Still, I like it too much to use it as my HM slave. It's a friggin' Red Gyarados, after all.

Well, on my Heartgold, I used it as a HM slave and in the Pokeathlon (Did I spell that right? Does anyone even do the Pokeathlon for that matter?), because his nature SUCKS and he had extremely bad IVs (Like, he had 2 IVs in Attack bad)

On Soulsilver, he has a Jolly Nature with some DANG good IVs in Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. I think he has 31 in Speed, at least, that's what I remember last time I checked. He is still at Lv. 30, waiting on me to get a new DSi so that I can EV train him and DESTROY my friends. Been wanting a good Gyarados for my wifi team.

I caught for pokédex data, then I sent it to rot in the PC. Fortunately, It's now rotting in my White version.

In Crystal and the original Gold version, it was a member of my team since shiny Pokémon still seemed incredibly exotic back then. In Heart Gold, I boxed it since I already had a reliable water type (Feraligatr).

Any time that I need to use Waterfall or Whirlpool, I have the Red Gyarados in my party. Other than that, it's just sitting in my box.

I personally go for the catch. I actually used him as a team member, since I really needed a Pokemon that can use Surf if I didn't have Pokemon that can use Surf by that time. Even though Gyara isn't really a Surf user in the competitive scene, in-game it seemed to work out fine.

Never really liked Water types to much, but I used him as a HM slave. With the water types I had, I never really was keen on giving it both Surf and Waterfall, so that's where it came in handy! :)

He became enslaved to me, doing grueling work such as climbing waterfalls, moving boulders, smashing rocks, and demoted to being a ferry.

As you can see in my sig, I made him part of my main team! The only reason it's blue in my sig though is because I couldn't find the shiny animation.

I migrated her (yess...) to my Pokemon White at level 77.
She's still a good lead Pokemon in White.

Well, although I've never used it in a team (other than one time where I had a two-gyarados red-and-blue team for doubles in the Battle Tower), I've found it's a good pokémon for Jump in the Pokéthlon.

The fact that everyone gets a Shiny Gyarados in the game kind of ruins the appeal, and I feel a Shiny Gyarados is even less awesome than a regular Gyarados, who I've never used. I catch it for the same reasons I catch legendaries, and box him forever. Every time.

Well, being a Gyarados, a Pokemon I rarely use on my team, I boxed it, I already had a few water types on me anyway.

Boxed him. I -hate- the fact we all get one. It means if you ever get a Golden Magikarp you break down and physically weap.
