-Gyarados is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with serpentine bodies|serpentine}} Chinese dragon-like Pokémon. It is mostly {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|blue}}, with a yellow underbelly and yellow spots along its body. It has a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head and four white fins down its back. Its mouth, which is rarely seen closed, is very large and gaping, bearing four canine teeth. Like its pre-evolution {{p|Magikarp}}, it has one barbel on both sides of its face. The barbels are white on a female and the same color as the main body on a male. Its pectoral and dorsal fins also resemble Magikarp's. When Gyarados is forced to undergo evolution, it retains Magikarp's red coloring, leading to the phenomena of the [[Red Gyarados]].

-Like most dragon-like Pokémon, Gyarados' strength is mostly {{Stat|Attack|physical}}. It is one of the few {{type|Water}} Pokémon able to wield both {{type|Fire}} and {{type|Electric}} attacks. Its fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel. Unlike its docile pre-evolution, Gyarados is infamously known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies, and is attracted to violence. In addition, Gyarados are also notoriously difficult to tame even after they are captured by the {{pkmn|Trainer}}, usually requiring an exceptional amount of work in taming it until it can obey its Trainer.

 Gyarados usually live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|large bodies of water}}, such as lakes and ponds or even seas and oceans, though they are rare.
