'''Gyarados''', the Atrocious Pokémon, is encountered here in its famous red coloration. Disturbed by the radio waves at the Lake of Rage, this Shiny Gyarados is in a state of absolute fury and will crush any trainer who dares to challenge its dominion over the waters.

== Boss Encounter: Gyarados (Shiny) ==
This encounter features a high-speed physical sweeper. If allowed to set up even a single boost, its raw power combined with its "Legend" stat multipliers can quickly result in a total team wipe.

|-
| '''Unique Drops''' || Red Scale

|}

== Battle Strategy ==
* '''The Dragon Dance Threat:''' Gyarados will prioritize using '''Dragon Dance''' to increase its already formidable Attack and Speed. At +2 Boost Level, its base stats are significantly higher than a standard Gyarados, making its boosted attacks nearly impossible to wall.
* '''STAB Flinch:''' '''Waterfall''' provides high damage and a chance to flinch, which becomes a major issue once Gyarados has outpaced your team.
* '''Counterplay:''' A fast Electric-type with high-voltage moves is the most efficient way to handle its 4x weakness. However, trainers must be wary of '''Earthquake''' on the switch-in. Using '''Taunt''' to stop the initial Dragon Dance is highly recommended.
