Pokédex description

Atrocious Pokémon
Standard Pokédex description
When Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, its brain cells undergo a structural transformation. It is said that this transformation is to blame for this Pokémon's wildly violent nature.
- Gyarados's cry
Mega Gyarados Pokédex description
It zooms out of the water at Mach speeds. Even large ships caught in its path are split cleanly in two.

Trivia

  • Normally, evolved stages of Pokémon cannot be shiny in encounter screen, but exceptionally during Lunar New Year 2020, and after, Gyarados could.
  • Before the release of Mega Levels, Gyarados could Mega Evolve into Mega Gyarados initially after being given 200 Mega Energy, and 40 afterwards.
  • Gyarados is a tier 3 Raid Boss most recently. However, it used to be a tier 4 before.
