Pokémon: Gyarados Series: Base Set (Shadowed) Set: Unlimited Card Number: 6/102 Rarity: Rare Grade: Raw Year: 1999 Illustrator: Mitsuhiro Arita Type: Water Gyarados 6/102 from the Pokémon Base Set is a Water-type Stage 1 Pokémon card. This card features Gyarados, a Pokémon known for its aggressive and destructive nature, as depicted in the Pokémon games. It was first released as part of the Base Set and was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. The card’s rarity is Holo Rare, making it a sought-after item among collectors. The card’s artwork showcases Gyarados in a menacing pose, reflecting its volatile personality. In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Gyarados can use moves like Dragon Rage and Bubble Beam, which are also illustrated on the card. These moves are significant as they are abilities that Gyarados can learn in the Pokémon games, adding to the card’s appeal for both collectors and players. Gyarados 6/102 is part of the Base Set, which was first released in the Japanese Expansion Pack. The card’s English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, while the Japanese entry is from Pokémon Red and Green. This card was later reprinted in the Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection expansions, but the original print remains the most valuable and sought after by collectors.
