Generation VII
A tale is told of a town that angered Gyarados. Before the sun rose the next day, flames utterly consumed the town, leaving not a trace behind.
There are people who swear that any place Gyarados appears is fated for destruction.
It fires hyper beams in all directions, burning the surrounding area to ash. There are some regions where it’s called “the deity of destruction.”
The energy from evolution stimulated its brain cells strongly, causing it to become very ferocious.
Brutally vicious and enormously destructive. Known for totally destroying cities in ancient times.
Generation VIII
It has an extremely aggressive nature. The Hyper Beam it shoots from its mouth totally incinerates all targets.
Once it begins to rampage, a Gyarados will burn everything down, even in a harsh storm.
I suspect this Pokémon to be the true identity of a dragon written of in ancient texts, which claimed that it razed an entire village with white-hot beams from its maw.
