History

Red, Green & Blue arc

With Misty
Gyara enraged

Gyara debuted inGyarados Splashes In!, attacking his original Trainer,Misty. Red shows up and decides to help by sending outSaur. Saur, alongsideMisty's Staryu, manage to weaken him enough to be recaptured byRed, who returns him to her.Later on, it is revealed that the drastic change in his attitude was the result of aTeam Rocket experiment, whereKoga makes a shameless remark about howTeam Rocket shouldn't be expected to know about every Pokémon they experiment on, earning Misty's rage.

InWhat a Dragonite, Gyarados is sent out by Misty to fight against a wildDragonite that was attacking Red underwater. Gyarados manages to distract Dragonite long enough for Misty to get Red to the surface. Once the two dragons emerge the Dragonite shoots off aHyper Beam, and Red has Gyarados counter back with his own. As the smoke clears from the clashing attacks, Dragonite falls back into the waters, defeated.

With Red
Gyara meeting his new teammates

InYou Know...Articuno!, Misty offers to give Red Gyarados in exchange for hisKrabby since Gyarados knew how to useSurf, which Red accepts. Although Red was happy to have obtained him, his earlier ferocity quickly gets him isolated from Red's other Pokémon. When they ran into Team Rocket again, Gyara was forced to relive some painful memories of his experimentation. Red had his other Pokémon help him through that traumatic experience and after that he was broken into the group, resulting in Red's Pokémon trusting him more.

InHoly Moltres, Red faced against theLegendary birdMoltres, which was under the control of Team Rocket. Despite the type advantage Gyara was unable to defeat the Flame Pokémon, andBlaine realized that to stand a chance against theFlying-type Pokémon, they needed a Flying-type of their own. When seeing Red's Old Amber, Blaine sent him to the Island'slaboratory, with Gyara staying behind to stall Moltres. Blaine and Gyara were soon overwhelmed, but were saved when Red arrived withAero.

As revealed inQuilava Quandary, Gyara was a part of the team Red used during thePokémon League.

InCan You Diglett?, Gyara is shown in a flashback fighting againstBruno'sOnix. Gyara attacks with multipleHydro Pumps, but Bruno'sOnix dodges them all by twisting its snake-like body. Onix gets close and usesBind, immobilizing Gyara. Red sees that Gyara can still use his head and has him attack withBite. Onix thenDigs underground in order to avoid the next attack. After seeing this Red recalls him.Soon after Gyara, alongsideSaur andSnor, were called out to battleLorelei, Bruno, andAgatha. With the power of the Badge Energy Amplifier, theElite Four's Pokémon do a combination attack ofIce,Fighting, andGhost powers, knocking the three out.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

Intimidate activated

InRed and Blue Make Purple Opponents, Gyara battled alongside Snor in a Double Battle against Blue and hisGolduck andPorygon2. Gyara starts the battle off with hisAbilityIntimidate, and Blue responds by having Golduck useIron Tail and Porygon2 useTri Attack on Red's Pokémon. Red then has Gyara counter attack withBody Slam on Porygon2, while Snor attacks Golduck withStrength. Gyara next uses Hyper Beam on Golduck, and Golduck usesDig to hide and avoid further damage. Red counters by having Snor useEarthquake, dealing damage to Porygon2, twice the damage to Golduck due to him being underground, which causes him to faint, and Gyara being unaffected due to him being partFlying-type. As Red celebrates he notices that Gyara had been paralyzed by the effects of Tri Attack. Gyara is then attacked byScizor'sSteel Wing and defeated.

InDon't Doubt Deoxys, Gyara is used to battle againstOrganism No. 2. Gyara was later nearly killed along with Red's other Pokémon while defending his Trainer from Organism No. 2'sPsycho Boost.

InDistant Relation Deoxys andStorming the Forretress, Gyara was seen joining Red's other Pokémon, Blue's Charizard, andChuchu to take down the tenForretress thatCarr had placed inside theTeam Rocket airship.

InPhew for Mew Gyara and Red found themselves petrified bySird, along with the four otherPokédex holders and their Pokémon.

InThe Final Battle VII, Red checked on Gyara and the rest of his team to ensure they all survived the petrification caused byMewtwo andDarkrai.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

Gyara appeared in a flashback inAll About Arceus IX, whenHirō explains that he basedProteam Omega off of Red's team after watching himtrain onMt. Silver.

Personality and characteristics

When Red first met Gyara, he displayed typical characteristics of hisspecies. He was depicted as angry and enraged, attacking every nearby person and Pokémon and not calming down for a second, although this was due to his rage atTeam Rocket for experimenting on him. AfterMisty reclaimed him, he calmed down and turned out to be a very friendly and helpful Pokémon, eager to make friends with others. LikeVee, Gyara developed a slight trauma from his experimentation, though he was able to work through it thanks to his new teammates.
