Collector Insights
Giovanni's Gyarados is a Water-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless energies. It has a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30, and a weakness to Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card includes two attacks: "Summon Storm" and "Dragon Tornado." "Summon Storm" requires one Water energy and inflicts 20 damage to each other Pokémon if both coin flips result in heads, ignoring Weakness and Resistance. "Dragon Tornado" demands four energy—two Water and two Colorless—and deals 40 damage, forcing the opponent to switch their Benched Pokémon with the Defending one unless it is Knocked Out. The card belongs to the Gym series, released in the Gym Challenge set on October 16, 2000. It is classified as a Rare Holo card, with no regulation mark specified. The card's design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori.
