This card comes from the English Base Set, the release that launched the Pokémon TCG in the U.S. on January 9, 1999, making a 1st Edition copy one of the hobby’s foundational vintage chase cards.
Card History
Base Set Gyarados stands out as card #6/102, a Rare Holo Stage 1 with 100 HP, and its heavy Water costs plus Dragon Rage and Bubblebeam gave it the feel of a true early-game sea monster.
Artist
The artwork is by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the defining artists of the original Pokémon TCG, which gives this Gyarados instant pedigree alongside many of the most iconic cards from the hobby’s earliest era.
In-Game
Gyarados has been a symbol of one of Pokémon’s most famous evolutions since Pokémon Red and Blue, transforming the notoriously weak Magikarp into a powerhouse—a dramatic jump that helped make cards like this feel legendary to early players.
Card History
Gyarados’s destructive reputation in the anime was reinforced by the Johto arc around the Red Gyarados, where its rampage threatened a nearby town, echoing the card’s flavor text about destroying entire cities in a rage.
