    Probably as an HM slave. I know, it's a major waste of such an awesome looking shiny, but I dunno... I tend to use it for Surf, Waterfall and Whirlpool. It depends, though- if I find another decent HM slave (or perhaps 2), then I'll (attempt to) EV train it, and not touch it otherwise, for fear of ruining it's epicity, lol.

    Nope, I already have a normal Shiny Gyrados and he is perfect already. No need for a lame one that everyone else will have.

    I'm probably not going to use mine when I get HeartGold, primarily because it's an overrated shiny. If I soft reset a lot and get one with good natures, IVs, etc. then I might use it. But most likely, it'll be UT.

    I'd be keen to make sure it has great IV and a great nature, so I could use it later on. Clearing EVs is easy, so I may just SR for it, use it in the game, then re-EV it and use it on a Wifi or Battle Frontier team.

    I'll safe before catching it to try and get one with a decent nature, and I'll most likely EV train it at some point. But for the actual play-through, unlikely.

    Lol.I'll catch it.

    I'm not sure what pokemon to use, i was thinking about just using freebies in-game, however i don't want an Eevee.
    To tell the truth, i hate most Johto pokemon, so i'll probably use it, as i like Dragoney pokemon.And i am guaranteed to have a Dragonite, so they'll go as a good pair. I might have it follow me around:P

    Well, if it considered Shiny, I am going to slaughter it and walk away.
    No Gyrodos is going to ruin the rarity of my Shiny Gyrodos in Diamond. D:
