	Member: Pokemonvacation24 I have 2 Gyarados, 1. Gyra(SHINY) 2.Gyarados Lv.100 (BOTH) move set: HyperBeam AquaTail HydroPump HyperBeam IceFang HydroPump Flamethrower IceFang 22 Oct 09 22:54 0
	Member: bladekin99 ok i raised my gyarados ever since it was a level 20 magikarp and man did it take it's time to level up but it's worth it here are my moves: Surf(double battles) Waterfall(relies on attack not special attack so does more damage than surf) Hyper Beam(Does a ton of damage) Ice Fang/Ice Beam(flying types) ice fang has a better chance of freezing the oppenent than ice beam and waterfall is my main attack move since it's more poerful than surf because surf relies on special attack and waterfall relies on attack and gyarados has higher attack and very low special attack. 12 Oct 09 12:21 0
