Here's some trivia from Bulbapedia. - According to some Nintendo of America artwork, Gyarados was originally slated to have the English name Skullkraken, a combination of the words "skull" and "kraken" (a mythological sea monster). This name would be impossible due to a 10-character limit on English Pokémon names. - Despite being part Flying-type, the only Flying-type move it can learn is Bounce, which is only possible via move tutor in Pokémon Platinum. However, it has been seen flying in the anime.
