Gyarados is a Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon with 150 HP, weak to Lightning and a retreat cost of 4. It is card 078 of 286 in Genetic Apex, printed at Rare, and it turns up in the Pikachu pack. It evolves from Magikarp. 75 cards in the expansion are rarer than this one. Opening for it means about 390 packs to be reasonably sure of one, which at 2 free packs a day is 7 months. The art is by Mitsuhiro Arita, who has 9 other cards in the game.
Once it appears, it goes on a rampage. It remains enraged until it demolishes everything around it.
