'''Misty's Gyarados''' (Japanese: '''カスミのギャラドス''' ''Kasumi's Gyarados'') was a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} adopted by {{an|Misty}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and her tenth overall.

===={{series|Advanced Generation}}====

=====Chronicles=====

When Misty returned to [[Cerulean City]] to fill in for [[The Sensational Sisters|her sisters]] as [[Gym Leader]] in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'', she found out that a newly-[[evolution|evolved]] {{p|Gyarados}} was on a rampage at the [[Cerulean Gym]]. Even worse, [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] inspectors were ready to condemn the [[Gym]] if there was no leader to keep Gyarados under control.

Panicking, Misty tried many attempts to stop it, including a reenactment of the water ballet show Gyarados participated in as a {{p|Magikarp}}. When none of these methods worked, Misty resorted to locking it in a cage. However, after the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]] had an unfair battle with Misty, they got their {{p|Tentacruel}} to attack it with {{m|Poison Sting}}. Misty then took the attack for Gyarados, causing Gyarados to earn her trust. Calmed, it finally allowed her to return it to its [[Poké Ball]].

===={{series|Sun & Moon}}====

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', where it was used to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. The two started with a collision of {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}}. {{p|Pikachu}} then rushed towards Gyarados and made a direct hit with {{m|Quick Attack}}, sending Gyarados flying. Pikachu then started charging up {{m|Electro Ball}} and Gyarados used {{m|Rain Dance}}, confusing everyone. Ash instructed Pikachu to ignore the rain and attack. However, Gyarados countered with a Rain Dance-powered {{m|Hurricane}}, which destroyed the Electro Ball and sent Pikachu flying. Deciding it was time to get serious, Misty revealed her [[Key Stone]] and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Gyarados into Mega Gyarados.

After Mega Evolving, Gyarados launched a Hydro Pump that destroyed the rock Pikachu was standing on, sending him flying into the water in the battlefield. Not letting up, Gyarados tried to attack Pikachu with {{m|Crunch}}, but was struck by {{m|Iron Tail}} after Pikachu got behind it. Gyarados dove underwater and used Hurricane, creating a cyclone of water around Pikachu. Ash ordered Pikachu to use Thunderbolt to break it up, but the strategy was unsuccessful. Misty assured Ash that no {{pkmn|Trainer}} had ever beaten this strategy. Ash instead ordered Pikachu to run on the electricity with Quick Attack, which allowed to Pikachu jump out of the cyclone. The two then performed their [[Z-Move]], {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}}. The attack hit Gyarados head on, defeating it and giving Ash the win.

At first, Gyarados was very angry and enraged, attacking every nearby [[human|person]] and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and not calming down for a second. This contrasts with its personality as a {{p|Magikarp}}, when it was much more relaxed and had once even participated in a water ballet with {{an|Misty}}. Its rage as a Gyarados even made it unwilling to go back into its {{ball|Poké}}, forcing Misty to confine it in a cage to avoid any further damage to the [[Gym]].

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===

Misty also has a Gyarados in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu|the manga counterpart to the anime]], but, unlike in the anime, it was the first Pokémon she ever caught. She trained it carefully until it evolved and, due to this, it's extremely loyal to its Trainer.

Gyarados appeared in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'' when [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] challenged the Cerulean Gym. At first Ash tried to send {{AP|Pikachu}} into battle but the Electric Mouse was too scared of the scary Atrocious Pokémon. When Ash tried to use his {{AP|Fearow}} it turned out to be sleeping. Next Ash tried to use {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, but it wasn't inside of its Poké Ball, having only left behind a note to explain its absence. Ash's only choice left was {{p|Metapod}}, which could do nothing but use {{m|Harden}}. For a moment it looked like Ash had lost but then his Metapod evolved into {{AP|Butterfree}}. Seeing his chance, Ash had Butterfree use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on Gyarados, putting the huge Pokémon into {{status|sleep}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

Misty's Gyarados, who was nicknamed '''[[Gyara]]''', first appeared in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''. It was stolen and used for experiments by [[Team Rocket]], causing it to go berserk and attack Misty. Then {{adv|Red}} appeared, recaptured Gyarados and returned it to her. Later, in ''[[PS025|You Know...Articuno!]]'', Red tried to get the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}} but it was accidentally destroyed, so Misty offered to trade Gyara with Red's {{p|Krabby}}, because Gyara already knew that move. Since then, Gyara has been one of Red's main [[party|team]] members.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===

Misty's Magikarp appeared in ''[[PZ03|Cerulean City]]'' where it was seen in her Gym.
