Every Gyarados card

The short version

Gyarados has nine printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across five expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Mega Rising. It is a Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon printed at between 130 and 180 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 3. They run to six rarities — three Rares, two Double Rares, one Art Rare, one Super Rare, one Shiny and one Shiny Super Rare. The hardest to pull is the Shiny Super Rare from Wisdom of Sea and Sky, at about 1 in 479 packs, or 1,350 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 1,103 packs, which is about 1.5 years at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of five different packs. The most recent is Gyarados #051, from an expansion that shipped in October 2025. That printing attacks with Hammering Tail for 100. The card’s own words: “It appears whenever there is world conflict, burning down any place it travels through.” It has been drawn by six artists, PLANETA CG Works more than anyone else with four cards.
