When everyone discovered that Gyarados is a flying/water type, there was some confusion. It isn't a dragon type and that saw some people discard it. Those people were wrong. Gyarados is a powerhouse. No evolutionary line is so different than Magikarp to Gyarados. It can learn a variety of strong attacks and can take quite the hit.
