Wasn't Gyarados great in Gen 3?

Always fun to look through the dex for interesting mons to use and and finding a dual type whose stabs are both playing off the wrong stat.

I literally can't play pre Gen IV games anymore because of this. I learned how to play "properly" only in Gen IV, when I played the previous games I was the kid with a starter with 3 STAB moves and and HM.
