Origins and Trivia
Name origin: Gyarados may come from the Japanese gyakusatsu (“massacre”) or combine Gyaos and Rodan, two monsters from Japanese cinema. In French, it is called Léviator, from the Leviathan, the legendary sea monster, and “or” (gold).
A Chinese legend: Its line illustrates the legend of the carp that becomes a dragon by climbing the Dragon Gate waterfall: an image of effort rewarded, like the patience needed to evolve a Magikarp.
Did you know?: Despite its dragon look, it is a Water and Flying type. Its Mega Evolution, introduced in X and Y, turns it into a Water and Dark type.
The red Gyarados: In Pokémon Gold and Silver, a red, shiny Gyarados waits at the Lake of Rage: the first guaranteed shiny encounter in the series.
