Artist
This card was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon designer, which gives Giovanni's Gyarados the unmistakable early-era look that many collectors associate with the franchise's foundational artwork.
Set Lore
Gym Challenge was released only in English in both 1st Edition and unlimited printings, helping 1st Edition holos like Giovanni's Gyarados feel especially iconic to vintage collectors.
