Gyarados 11/144 · Skyridge

Gyarados is Pokédex #130, generation 1 (Kanto). Gyarados is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Magikarp. In this catalog that name is Magikarp (#129).

Gyarados sits at 11/144 in Skyridge, position 11 of 182. Before it is 10 Gengar, and after it is 12 Houndoom. The set belongs to the E-Card series. It was released on May 12, 2003. The printed size is 144. This checklist is longer, at 182 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Flame Vapor is listed as Poké-Power. When you play Gyarados from your hand to evolve your Active Pokémon, you may flip 2 coins. For each heads, discard an Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon. The attack Dragon's Vengeance lists 50 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. If Gyarados has 7 or more damage counters on it, this attack's base damage is 100. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

Gyarados (#130) has 56 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 39 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Gyarados 6/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kimiya Masago illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 52 other cards of Gyarados list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kimiya Masago. I count 24 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Skyridge set binder is where a full Skyridge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gyarados can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Magikarp and Gyarados. I still need this card.
