Gyarados has two attacks: Full Retaliation, which costs two Colorless energy and deals 30+ damage, plus 30 for each damage counter on Benched Magikarp, and Thrash, requiring Water and two Colorless energy to deal 100+ damage with a coin flip effect that may add 30 damage or cause the Pokémon to harm itself. The card has no resistances but is weak to Lightning attacks, which deal double damage. Its retreat cost is three Colorless energy, and it has no listed abilities.
