Gyarados
Evolved from weakness
Gyarados is a Pokémon—a serpentine, dragon-like creature that evolves from the weak, flopping Magikarp.
The dramatic transformation from useless fish to fearsome sea monster has made Gyarados a symbol of patience rewarded and potential realized: I'm still in my Magikarp phase, but someday I'll be a Gyarados.
