Gyarados [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Legendary Collection reverse holo is a reprint of the original Base Set Gyarados, so collectors are chasing one of the earliest iconic Water-type holo designs in Pokémon TCG history with the added prestige of a later Wizards-era variant.
Set Lore
What makes this copy instantly recognizable is Legendary Collection’s exclusive fireworks-style reverse holo treatment, a foil pattern Bulbapedia notes was unique to this expansion and applied to every card in the set.
Artist
The artwork is by Mitsuhiro Arita, the same illustrator credited with Base Set Gyarados and several other cornerstone early holos, tying this card directly to the visual identity of vintage Pokémon collecting.
In-Game
Its attacks, Dragon Rage and Bubble Beam, are drawn straight from the video games, and Bulbapedia notes Bubble Beam was specifically a move Gyarados could learn in Generation I via TM11.
Cultural Impact
Gyarados’s enduring appeal comes from one of Pokémon’s most famous evolution stories: the seemingly useless Magikarp transforming into a city-wrecking monster, a contrast that helped make Gyarados one of the franchise’s classic power icons.
