Gyarados 30/181 · Team Up

Gyarados is Pokédex #130, generation 1 (Kanto). Gyarados is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 150 HP. The card says it evolves from Magikarp. In this catalog that name is Magikarp (#129).

Gyarados sits at 30/181 in Team Up, position 30 of 198. Before it is 29 Magikarp, and after it is 31 Lapras. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on 1 February 2019. The printed size is 181. This checklist is longer, at 198 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Distilled Blast lists 30+ damage. The cost is Water. Reveal the top 7 cards of your deck. This attack does 30 more damage times the amount of Water Energy you find there. Then, shuffle those Energy cards back into your deck and discard the other cards. Hyper Beam is another attack lists 100 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Water. Discard an Energy from your opponent's Active Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "It fires hyper beams in all directions, burning the surrounding area to ash. There are some regions where it's called "the deity of destruction.""

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 Hasuno illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 55 other cards of Gyarados list a different HP.

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

Team Up set binder is where a full Team Up 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.
