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

The earliest other card is Gyarados 6/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. 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.

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.

I keep a set binder for Skyridge, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Skyridge set binder. 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.
