Who is stronger, Gyarados or Golduck?

Gyarados is generally much stronger and more versatile than Golduck due to its higher base stats (especially Attack) and access to the game-changing move Dragon Dance, allowing it to sweep teams, while Golduck struggles with underwhelming stats and is often outclassed as a pure Water-type attacker, though it serves as a decent early-game option with better Special Attack in older games before the Physical/Special split.

Is butterfly or freestyle faster?

Freestyle (front crawl) is generally faster overall because it's more efficient, but butterfly has faster peak speeds due to the powerful simultaneous arm pull, though its recovery phase slows overall pace, making it more exhausting and slower for long distances. For competitive swimming, freestyle is the fastest stroke overall, used in most races, while butterfly, though powerful, is second fastest but much more tiring.

Why isn't Gyarados a dragon?

Gyarados isn't a Dragon type primarily for game balance, as a Water/Dragon typing in Gen 1 would give it few weaknesses and make it overpowered; also, its lore emphasizes its destructive rage, contrasting with noble Chinese dragons, and the Flying type better reflects its origin myth of leaping over a gate, even though it learns no Flying moves initially. Game Freak used Water/Flying to give it a key Electric weakness, preventing it from being too broken, despite its dragon-like appearance.
