Gyarados-GX

Description

The Pokémon Gyarados-GX Rainbow Rare card, numbered 112, is a standout release from the 2017 Crimson Invasion set. Designed by 5ban Graphics, this card represents the evolution of Magikarp into a formidable Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon with 240 HP. Collectors value this print for its distinctive rainbow foil treatment, which sets it apart from the standard and reverse holo variants found in the base set. In gameplay, Gyarados-GX offers versatile offensive options through its attacks. The Waterfall attack deals 70 damage for two Colorless energy, providing an early-game threat. For more significant impact, the Draconic Disaster attack requires four Colorless energy but deals 100 damage plus an additional 100 if any Stadium card is in play, allowing the player to discard that Stadium card. The card’s most powerful feature is the Dread Storm-GX attack, which discards an Energy from each of the opponent's Pokémon. This ability can disrupt an opponent's strategy significantly, though players can only use one GX attack per game. The high HP and disruptive GX attack make Gyarados-GX a memorable piece of Pokémon TCG history. Its status as a Rainbow Rare card, typically found at the back of the set, adds to its desirability among completists and investors. The card serves as a key component for those looking to complete the Crimson Invasion set or add a high-profile GX card to their collection.
