The attack Wriggle lists no damage number. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin for each of your opponent's Pokémon. If that coin flip is heads, this attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Dwindling Wave is another attack lists 100- damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless, Colorless. Does 100 damage minus 10 damage for each damage counter on Gyarados G. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 3.

Gyarados (#130) has 56 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 38 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 is named Gyarados, while this one is Gyarados G. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kent Kanetsuna illustrated this one. 56 other cards of Gyarados list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kent Kanetsuna. I count 74 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Platinum set binder is where a full Platinum 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.
