hi!
this is swordsman  i have some usefull advice in store for you pojo's first of all, I was wondering which was better, dark gyrados, or gyrados? I don't know, do you? while,
I will now compare them with each other ok here is the trile:

first, lets look at the hp now dark gyrados has 70 hp well, that's good enogh for a stage two pokemon barely now lets look at gyrados he has 100 hp great
that was short lets look at the results:
dark gyrados:0 gyrados:1
 and the point go's to gyrados! great!


Now, lets look at the resistanse and weakness
First, lets look at dark gyrados he has a resistance to fighting good he all so has a weakness to electric now let's look at old regular gyrados he has a weakness to electric and a resistance to fighting all so very good THAT'S BECAUSE HES THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now lets look at the results:
Dark gyrados:1 gyrados:2
They both get points, but gyrados still takes the lead


Now lets look at attacks and pokemon powers
First, there's dark gyrados he has pokemon power: final beam use this power when dark gyrados is knocked out flip a coin if heads do 20 damage for each water energy on dark gyrados to the pokemon who knocked dark gyrados out this power can't be used if dark gyrados is asleep confused or paralyzed awsome than he has ice beam it has flip a coin if heads the defending pokemon is now paralyzed it all so dishes 30 damage to the defending pokemon awsome too (it costs 3 water energys) than theres gyrados it has dragon rage for 3 water energys and dishes 50 damage than it has bubblebeam for 4 water energys it says flip a coin if heads the defending pokemon is now paralyzed it all so dishes an awsome 40 damage
Now lets look at the results
Dark gyrados:2 gyrados:2
Dark gyrados gets it because of its awsome pokemon power because even if gyrados would knock dark gyrados out dark gyrados would have killed it hand in hand
But it's a tie


 Now lets look at the retreat cost
Dark gyrados has a retreat cost of 2 and that very fact would make dark gyrados very solid if you just happen to have a dodrio on the bench than there's gyrados with a retreat cost of 3 uhhhhhh..... not exactly the champ mateariall we saw in gyrados's other facts.....
Now let's look at the results
Dark gyrados:3 gyrados:2
And the point go's to dark gyrados for its low retreat cost awsome! So now we have a card to really think about and dark gyrados wins for it's retreat cost and its pokemon power and it's attacks and....... Dark gyrados is too good for me to think about
I gave the last point to dark gyrados cause if gyrados got in trouble he would be nearly doomed even if you do manage to get gyrados on the bench and heal him he'd still have an energy drout when you do get him out plus it would take three or four turns or more if you have problems with drawing energy's
