Gyarados 33/147 · Burning Shadows

Burning Shadows is a set in the Sun & Moon series. It was released on 5 August 2017. The printed size is 147. This checklist is longer, at 177 cards. Gyarados is 33/147, in position 34 of 177 on this checklist. Before it is 32 Magikarp, and after it is 34 Marill. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Gyarados is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 150 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).

so-taro illustrated this card. The same name is on 18 other cards in the catalog.

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 lists 100 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and so-taro illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 55 other cards of Gyarados list a different HP.

The attack Venting Anger lists 50× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 50 damage for each Magikarp in your discard pile. Splash Burn is another attack lists 160 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 30 damage to each of your Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "A tale is told of a town that angered Gyarados. Before the sun rose the next day, flames utterly consumed the town, leaving not a trace behind."

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