Collector Insights

Gyarados is a Water-type Pokémon with 150 HP and a retreat cost of four Colorless energy. It features two attacks: "Venting Anger," which costs two Colorless energy and deals 50 damage for each Magikarp in the discard pile, and "Splash Burn," requiring two Water and two Colorless energy to deal 160 damage while also inflicting 30 damage to all Benched Pokémon. The card’s flavor text recounts a legend of a town destroyed by Gyarados’ wrath, emphasizing its destructive nature. It belongs to the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Burning Shadows set, released on August 5, 2017, and is classified as a Rare Holo card. The artwork is credited to artist so-taro, and the card has no resistances but is weak to Lightning-type attacks with double damage. Its design highlights a thematic connection to elemental fury and environmental devastation. The card’s strategic value lies in its ability to leverage discard pile resources and target multiple opponents simultaneously.

A tale is told of a town that angered Gyarados. Before the sun rose the next day, flames utterly consumed the town, leaving not a trace behind.
