Gyarados-GX is a Stage 1 GX Water Pokémon with 240 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).
5ban Graphics illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,629 other cards in the catalog.
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 is named Gyarados, while this one is Gyarados-GX. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 240 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo GX. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 52 other cards of Gyarados list a different HP.
The attack Waterfall lists 70 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Draconic Disaster is another attack lists 100+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. If there is any Stadium card in play, this attack does 100 more damage. Then, discard that Stadium card. Dread Storm-GX is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Discard an Energy from each of your opponent's Pokémon. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The card text says: Pokémon-GX rule: When your Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.
I keep a set binder for Crimson Invasion, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Crimson Invasion 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.
