Misty's Gyarados

Description

Misty's Gyarados is a notable Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon card from the 2025 Destined Rivals expansion. Assigned card number 49 and finished with a rare holo treatment, this collectible captures the intense nature of the evolved Gyarados. Designed by artist GOSSAN, the card features a Pokédex entry highlighting its rampage when enraged. In gameplay, it evolves from Misty's Magikarp and boasts 180 HP. Its signature attack, Water Splashing Panic, allows players to discard the top seven cards of their deck to deal damage based on the number of Misty's Pokémon discarded. The second attack, Waterfall, provides a reliable 120 damage output but requires a high retreat cost of four colorless energy. Collectors of the Pokémon Trading Card Game often seek out cards from the Destined Rivals series for their unique character interactions and strategic depth. This card represents a key evolution in the Misty archetype, offering both thematic flavor and mechanical versatility for deck builders. The holo finish adds visual appeal, making it a standout piece for those completing the DRI set code collection.
