Collector Insights

Gyarados is a Water-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. It possesses two attacks: Dragon Rage, which costs three Water energy to deal 50 damage, and Bubblebeam, requiring four Water energy to inflict 40 damage and potentially paralyze the defending Pokémon. The card has a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30, and is weak to Grass-type moves, which deal double damage. Its design is attributed to artist Mitsuhiro Arita, and it is part of the Base Set 2, released in February 2000. The card’s flavor text describes it as a rare, destructive creature capable of devastating cities. With a rarity of Rare Holo, it is a notable inclusion in the Base series. The card’s thematic color scheme aligns with its Water-type identity, reflecting a deep blue tone.

Rarely seen in the wild. Huge and vicious, it is capable of destroying entire cities in a rage.
