Gyarados

Description

The Dragons Exalted Gyarados card, numbered 24, is a distinctive addition to the 2012 Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion. As a Stage 1 evolution of Magikarp, this Water-type Pokémon boasts 130 Hit Points, making it a resilient choice for deck construction. The reverse holo treatment adds a shimmering visual appeal that collectors appreciate for its aesthetic quality within the set. Gyarados offers versatile gameplay options with two distinct attacks. The first, WaterColorlessColorless, delivers 60 damage using Sharp Fang mechanics. The second, WaterColorlessColorlessColorless, utilizes Swing Around to deal 60 damage plus an additional 30 damage for each heads flipped on two coin tosses. This probabilistic damage potential allows for strategic play, while the 3 Energy retreat cost provides a manageable exit strategy during battles. Designed by Mizue, this card captures the fierce nature of the legendary sea monster. The reverse holo finish ensures that this card stands out in any binder or collection. Whether you are completing the set or adding to your Gyarados roster, this card represents a solid piece of Pokémon TCG history from the early 2010s.
