CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

The Gyarados described by the Pokédex usually lives in deep water. Seeing it rise into the shallows, however, offers no promise of a peaceful encounter: several entries describe its fury and the destruction that follows. Once it starts rampaging, it devastates its surroundings until everything around it is demolished. Its marine silhouette heralds a power that these accounts credit with the ability to raze entire cities.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

An Ultra Moon entry offers an explanation for Gyarados's violence: the energy released during its evolution is said to have strongly stimulated certain brain cells. The Pokédex thus connects its temperament to the transformation following its life as Magikarp. This is the explanation given by that game, not a card effect.
