Item Condition
Gyarados from the original Pokémon Base Set is here as a foil single, showcasing that iconic holographic treatment that made these cards the stuff of schoolyard legend. The card is in the condition noted in this listing, and the image shown is a standard catalog representation of this card and printing rather than a photograph of the specific copy in hand. This card's condition is as described in the listing.
Item Description
Long before ex, VMAX or special illustration rares, the holographic Gyarados in the original Base Set was the sea monster every kid wanted to pull. It sits at number 6 of 102, inside the run of sixteen holo rares that open the set, and it was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, the artist who also painted Base Set's famous Charizard. The serpent rears up against a shimmering holo background that still looks fantastic in a binder page.
On the card itself, Gyarados is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon that evolves from Magikarp, a pairing that made the transformation from the game's most useless fish into a 100 HP monster feel huge. Its attacks hit hard for the era: Dragon Rage deals 50 damage for three Water Energy, and Bubblebeam does 40 with a coin flip to Paralyze the Defending Pokémon. Its Pokédex entry calls it rarely seen in the wild and vicious enough to level entire cities in a rage.
Base Set launched the Pokémon Trading Card Game in North America in 1999, and its holo rares are the cards that defined the hobby for a generation. This listing is the Base Set holo rare Gyarados, card 6/102, a cornerstone for anyone rebuilding the original holo set or chasing Gyarados across the franchise's history.
