Overview |
Gyarados are powerful and ruthless Pokémon whose fangs can crush boulders and whose scales are as hard as steel. When Magikarp evolve into Gyarados, their brains signals for more production of a hormone that causes them to become more violent. Gyarados are known for their destructive tendencies. When angered, raging Gyarados will destroy nearby fields and cities, not stopping until everything they can see is in ruins. They will fire the devastating move Hyper Beam to burn forests and buildings to the ground, even in torrential storms. The flames their attacks create take huge amounts of water to extinguish. Their rampages can last as long as a month. Gyarados have been mentioned in many pieces of ancient literature, appearing during war and other times of conflict and destroying everything indiscriminately. It is sometimes referred to as "the deity of destruction" in these texts. These stories often end with both sides of the feud being forced to unite to defeat the Gyarados. Gyarados are very difficult to tame, so it takes an especially courageous and determined trainer to raise one successfully.
