 Wow, I have been waiting for people to start using this 
						card everywhere… I guess I will have to keep waiting. 
						120 HP is beautiful, especially on a stage 1. 3 retreat 
						cost… Dang, that is quite a bit of retreat cost; let’s 
						just hope you have a warp point or switch (Or Tuesday’s 
						COTD.) -20 resistance is nice as Mario decks are lots of 
						play. The weakness is ok, not the most used, not the 
						least. The attack is great, 80 plus it discards a card 
						for each heads (out of two coins) The confusion is a 
						setback, but it can be played around. Now the poke-body, 
						that is where this guy shines. Able to not only use 
						attacks of the Magikarp below it, but it also does 30 
						more damage. There are only two useable Magikarp for 
						this. The MT one and the HP one, DO NOT USE THE HP ONE… 
						IT ONLY HAS SPLASH… ABUSE THE FLAIL. That is all.
 
 Pros –
 120 HP on a stage 1
 80 damage for 2(w) and 2©
 Dragon DNA rocks!!!
 
 Cons-
 3 retreat
 4 energy needed for Enrage
 
 Unlimited - Stage 1 is nice right? Not 1/5
 
 Modified – someone will use this card, with good results 
						4.25/5
 
 Limited – massive damage for only 1 energy? Count me in 
						4.75/5
 
 I still like the whole 120 HP on a stage 1 thing,
 
 “Please do not throw cigarettes butts into the toilet... 
						They become hard to light.”

						This 
						is all about the pokebody how good is it going to be ? 
						
						This question is answered by the 
						magicarp. as the serie does not exist in Denmark yet  I 
						haven’t seen the magikarp so ill let the others tell you 
						about that 1. 
						
						  
						
						
						Classic 2 
						
						
						Modified 3

						NO 
						don’t use this its pokebody is awfull useless for most 
						parts. 
						
						
						Attack bad as well

							Gyarados Lv. 49 
							  
							This Gyarados has 
							an amazing ability. Dragon DNA let's you take 
							advantage of Magikarp's Flail ability. Being able to 
							hit for X amount of damage counters +30 is 
							ridiculous. However, The Magikarp is a very easy 
							target for sniping Pokemon. 30HP is very low. 
							Therefore, playing Gyarados is very dangerous. It 
							has an awesome resistance, but a bad weakness. Both 
							Lightning and Fighting are two top tiers right now 
							with Electivire and Lucario... 
							  
							Modified 
							3.5/5...Its only problem is Magikarp, but you've got 
							to use the flailing one simply because the only 
							other is from Holon Phantoms and has 30HP as well, 
							with a bad attack. Otherwise, Gyarados could be a 
							4.5... 
							  
							Limited 
							4.5/5...Totally a beast in limited. You get this, it 
							usually means win. |  
              | Olly | Gyrados 
 unlimited 4/5
 
 a very good card because virtually every magicarp has 
						the attack flail
 
 modified 4/5
 
 I don't see it becoming a deck to be feared with but 
						it's still good. I remember people used to play gyrados 
						with a magikarp with flail and adding memory berry so 
						you can use flail for some massive damage but now you 
						don't have to!
 
 limited 4/5
 
 don't see anything wrong with it so play it

              | Tiberius | Gyarados, LV. 49 
 120 HP
 
 * Poke-Body Dragon DNA: Gyarados can use any attack from 
						its Basic Pokemon. (You still have to pay for that 
						attack's Energy cost.) if Gyarados uses any attack from 
						its Basic Pokemon, that attack does 30 more damage to 
						the Active Pokemon (before applying Weakness and
 Resistance) *
 
 (WWCC) Enrage (80) Flip a coin until you get tails. For 
						each heads, choose 1 card from your opponent's hand 
						without looking and discard it.
 If the first coin is tails, Gyarados is now Confused.
 
 3 retreat
 
 weakness to electric, +30
 Resistance to fighting -20
 
 to realize the worth of Dragon DNA, you have to see what 
						magikarp's attacks are:
 (C) Flail (10x) Does 10 damage times the number of 
						damage counters on Magikarp.
 (WW) Dragon Rage (60) Flip 2 coins. If either of them is 
						tails, this attack does nothing.
 
 well, with that said, take a look. even if you have a 
						single energy, you can flail, and it will do at least 
						30. put some damage on him and it will be even stronger. 
						now, to do dragon rage is just about a waste of a turn. 
						you will have only a 25% chance of doing 10 more than 
						Enrage (counting D. DNA). Flail is much the better move. 
						so all in all, its a useful move, specially if you 
						didn't have much energy on him before you had to send 
						him out. great for limited.
 
 that said, look at Enrage. you could end up discarding a 
						lot, but you might confuse yourself. too bad. but still, 
						even with the possible hand destruction, its too 
						expensive, and a rather slow attack. if you consider 
						yourself really lucky, you could play this, and totally 
						trash their hand, but thats probably not going to 
						happen.
 
 all in all, this probably isn't the card you want to 
						play. if you're doing hand trashing, use walrein 
						instead, works much better, and if you want beating 
						power, use something else. in limited, though, this card 
						earns some redemption. hand discarding could kill their 
						energies, and Dragon DNA allows for a power sweep even 
						if you only have one.
 
 Unlimited: 1/5 ouch...
 
 Modified: 2/5 could be a helluva lot better
 
 Limited: 4/5 it shines!
