    Who of you acually used the red gyarados and raised it in your party and beat the elite for with it, didnt coz that way i would have to get rid of one of my raised party memebers XD
     
    I attempted to SR for good IV's but I got so bored I just caught it and kept it in my pc box since I'm no fan of Gyarados anyway. Atleast its adamant natured and not TOTALLY useless. But blergh, he's not that awesome. XD
     
    I didn't use it, I just didn't want to replace on of my party members.xD
     
    i would never try to SF to get a good nature on the gyarados coz it crap on its attack thats it even though lance uses it and its not even dragon type

    Gyarados can be REALLY good actually, depends on if you play him right and use the right moves. True about Lance though. But I guess its the same as when some of the sinnoh gym leaders have "trump" cards like the ice leaders fighting type.
     
    Nah I didn't use it, I just left it in my PC. But now it is on my Pokewalker and having fun taking walks with my sister. Haha.
     
    Well some people like to have to it. Not many people before HG/SS could say they have a red Gyarados and now most people do.
    Besides there might be some kind of event out on wifi where you have to have the Gyarados on your team or somthing ;)
     
    having a gyarados has it advantages but not me mabyes ill train one just for the fun of it
     
    I caught it - Adamant nature with 31 IVs in HP, Attack and Speed. He's also got 23 in Defence, 28 in Special Defence and 29 in Special Attack. It only took me three soft resets so I was delighted! He remains untouched in my PC where he will stay for now. I'll probably EV train him and trade him off eventually. I'm not really into shinies unless it's a completely random encounter.
     
    I used it in my Japanese Soul Silver, but in my English Heart Gold it's rotting in my PC box, I like my party members too much to replace them.
     
    Anyone was that lucky like me and caught a jolly gyarados on the first try? :P

    Well, actually on the second try, I killed the first gyarados uninentionally :(
     
    I caught it but I won't use it. I was thinking of raising it a bit and using it for my battle against Clair but then realized I had a Lapras and decided to use Lapras instead.
     
    As a change, I caught it and raised it. SR'd for a adamant nature and decent IVs. Now it's lvl 74 and completely rolls the elite four.
     
    The thing was, I needed a physical water type for Waterfall.

    I had Qwilfish, and it was pretty beastly.

    Then I saw the huge stat difference between my Speed-deficient Qwilfish and my neutral Gyarados.

    Waaaay too big.
