An iconic Pokémon, Gyarados boasts impressive design and power. Its evolution from Magikarp embodies perseverance. Its versatile moveset makes it a battle favorite.

Milotic's elegance and strength are legendary. Its design draws inspiration from mythical sea serpents, embodying peace and harmony. Evolving from the elusive Feebas, Milotic is a prized asset.

Wishiwashi's unique form-shifting ability showcases the power of unity. Its School Form transforms it into a massive, powerful creature, while its Solo Form is incredibly weak. Its weaknesses to Grass and Electric types are exacerbated by its low speed in both forms.
