Fun Facts About Gyarados and Milotic:
  • Both evolve from a "Weak Fish" Pokémon and into a "Serpentine" Pokémon
  • Both have the same Base Stat Total (540), differing only in the distribution of their Attack, Special Attack, and Special Defense
  • Both have the same base stat total increase after evolution at 340 points
  • Milotic has the power to calm emotions, whereas Gyarados spreads further conflict and destruction
So will you lean more towards the Tender Pokémon or the Atrocious Pokémon?
 
Going with Milotic. It has a sleek colour palette and rather beautiful dragon characteristics.

As for the Kanto sea monster, I personally like Mega Gyarados more than the original Gyarados.
 
Love both, but I'll go with Milotic due to its elegance. Shame its movepool is so shallow.
 
I'd use Gyarados in a battle over Milotic but Milotic wins over in cuteness and grace in every way. Not like that was Gyarados' strong point(s) either, but still.

Actually, I do kinda miss using Milotic as part of a team because it was kinda fun. So Milotic wins this for me tbh.
 
yep, Milotic as well
so much cuter looking than Gyarados
I tend to favorite cuter Pokemon most times
 
There's nothing that strikes the feeling of a big and powerful but also aggressive fish other than Gyarados.
 
I like the chinese-dragon-esque feel of gyarados, particularly his mega form. It's also more fun to use than milotic imo, although a nice bulky milotic can still be very entertaining to sponge attacks with
 
Gyrados evolves from the Godly Magikarp, which I would definitely vote for if it was part of this poll. Also, the Water/Flying type compliment each other nicely, Water filters out a weakness to Rock, and Flying filters a weakness with Grass. Plus, it's immune, and super effective against Ground Types. The only major weakness is Electric, and some Fully-Evolved Electric Types such as Ampharos and Eelektross are in PU tier, according to Smogon. Also, it has a Mega, which makes it much more Competitively viable. Even if the Water/Dark typing makes it weak to Milotic's array of Fairy type moves, you can't deny that Gyrados is much better in Comp compared to it's more tedious to obtain cousin.
