4th Gen red gyarados

Yeah, it's in my party.

I didn't have many good pokemon in my party, so Gyarados was a shoe-in to replace my Weepinbell...
 
I don't like the idea of having a shiny Gyarados in the game. It cheapens the shiny version of it to practically nothing.

I didn't end up using it because it had too much redundancy with Feraligatr (moveset and type) and Luxray (physical sweeper)
 
actually...

i actually used Reddie (nicked!) as an HM slave ...
 
well i caught it and used it until i beat the whole game with it
i think i mainly kept it because

1)i had a spare place in my party at the time
2)i found it funny how the massive thing could follow you without water and how it could fit through doors and houses XD
 
Gyarados is a great sweeper in competitive battling. If anyone is stupid enough to let him get a Dragon Dance in let alone 2+ then its pretty much game over right there. He covers a wide type variety with Waterfall, Stone Edge, and Earthquake and he can do much needed damage. He isn't worthless at all. Whoever is saying that clearly needs to learn their pokemon :p.
 
Red gyaradose is on my main team, I needed a water pokemon and who better than a shiney powerful one? The people who don't have gyaradose in their teams are fools! FOOLS I TELL YOU! haha jokes.
 
I used it for the elite four.. but it wasnt one of the main pokemon i used, i gave it up after defeating Lance.
 
I caught it, but sadly, I didn't use it =( It had such a bad nature, I think it was something like raising def/sp.def and lowering attack o.o Sometimes I wish there were no natures in the in-game part.... I didn't have any luck with one of my favorites, Suicune, either. It had impish nature x.x

I will catch it and train it a bit, but mainly it'll be an HM slave. Btw, if you have any ideas for an HM slave for Surf before I get Gyarados, please PM me.
 
I'm using Kingdra instead.
 
I'm just planning on capturing it, and hopefully get a good nature and then put it on my PC. Maybe I might EV train it later.

This is in-game we're talking about, pal. Yes, it's a powerhouse in competitive battles, but anyone that is even stupid enough to let it Dragon Dance more than once, like you said, is idiotic and doesn't deserve to be a competitive battler. It's like TTar.

In-game doesn't equivalate to competitive.
 
I loved the Red Gyrodos but not as much to keep it in my party.
 
that red gyarados would ov been exellent for my team but meh decided to toss it away like and old piece of food i also like gyarados's dragon breath and rage attacks
 
i caught mine, its lvl 41 now 3rd stronges behind tyhplosion n lugia. usin its ice moves 4 elite 4
 
Yer, the red gyarados does have some great fetures and attacks who would not love it
