The '''Gyarados archetype''' is a popular deck in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. After appearing sometime shortly after the release of {{TCG|Stormfront}}, the deck gained recognition and was played heavily during the 2009-2010 [[Play! Pokémon|Pokémon Organized Play]] season. It placed well in numerous tournaments but saw a decline in use as {{TCG|LuxChomp}} grew in popularity. Although its merits were frequently discussed, many players moved away from Gyarados as a competitive archetype in favor of decks requiring more finesse, such as {{TCG|Sablelock}} and the aforementioned LuxChomp. However, after the release of the {{TCG|Triumphant}} expansion late in 2010, Gyarados was seen as more viable than ever due to the inclusion of {{TCG|Junk Arm}} in the new set. | The '''Gyarados archetype''' is a popular deck in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
