What's the difference between Milotic and Gyarados?

I mean, they both look almost the same as the pre-evolution, but are they any different now? And what’s the deal with the whole “lets just change how Feebass evolve?!?” Did they change any other Pokemon’s evolution style?

First of all, they’re different Pokémon.(Yay obvious statements)

But really, they’re quite different and similar. They have different battling roles and while magikarp is everywhere, feebas can be a bit more tricky to find. However, they do have many similarities.

Even though both have the same BST, Speed, Defence, HP, base happiness, are evolved from fish, are “bad Pokémon” that evolve into “good Pokémon” and perhaps more, Gyarados is definitely a physical attacker, while Milotic is more on the specially attacking and defending side.

Feebas is also harder to obtain than the numberous magikarps in, well, just about every body of water. It’s also harder to evolve, you either have to trade with an item or max out its beauty. With magikarp, just levelling it up to lv 20 is enough.

I doubt that they “changed magikarp’s evolution style” to get feebas and milotic, since they have a lot of important differences. They are similar, but I’m pretty sure that they didn’t mean for them to be almost exactly the same. Maybe they decided, “let’s make another Pokémon like magikarp and gyarados!” but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t want them to be copies of each other.

Other differences:-Milotic has anerratic growth rate, compared to Gyarados’sslow growth rate-Gyarados isWater/Flying, Milotic is justWater-Milotic’s egg takes21 cycles, Gyarados only needs6 cycles-Speaking of eggs, Gyarados is in theDragon and Water 2egg groups, with Milotic inDragon and Water 1-Different movepool-Different weaknesses, abilities, weights, heights, etc.
