Don't forget:

>great shiny
>memorable, old TCG cards with great art
>only non-legendary with major plot relevance in the game
>great basis/background with the story of a carp that jumped over a waterfall and became a dragon
>solid, memorable anime appearances

Gyarados is easily the most undersold Pokemon in the franchise.

I guess they made Tyranitar the "Godzilla" of pokemon for a reason.

Imagine if it got a better hidden ability than Unnerve. My vote would go to Solid Rock.

Isn't it actually coming close to falling down to UU? Or it's been on a decline in any case. When the fuck is it going to get Knock Off?

Imagine it get worse? You realize sand increases it's Special Defense by 50% because it's a Rock-Type, right? It's basically autoing a half Eviolite on it's lower defensive stat while still holding an item and not being NFE and also doing chip damage to most things but you think taking that away would make it better.

Intimidate might see usage in VGC go up but it wouldn't be better as a whole with another ability.
