About this card
This is the iconic Japanese Base Set Gyarados Holo, featuring Mitsuhiro Arita's dramatic artwork of the fearsome sea serpent lunging against a dark, cosmic background. The card showcases the classic gold-bordered holo treatment unique to the Japanese Base Set printing, with a shimmering foil background that makes Gyarados pop beautifully. As one of the most recognizable holographic Pokémon from the original 1996 Japanese Base Set, this card holds strong nostalgia and collector appeal. The Japanese version predates the international release and is a staple for vintage Pokémon TCG collectors.
