>>28261499I remember trying to raise a Gyarados in Pearl a man did he really pay off. He stayed top of the game throughout most of my journey after he evolved, was able to overcome Wake's and Cyrus' Gyarados and even managed to faint Cynthia's Garchomp. That intimidate and dragon dance really helps you out in tight situations and aqua tail is not bad, but eventually you'll get the waterfall HM. Man Gen 4 really did Gyarados a favour with physical and special split.
