This classic Gyarados brings back all the mid-era nostalgia — a reimagining of the original Kanto sea serpent, towering out of the water with glowing eyes and a crackling Bubble Beam ready to go off. The dark water and city lights behind it make the holo look like Gyarados has just exploded out of a stormy harbour, which feels very on brand for the Atrocious Pokémon.
Handpicked from a carefully chosen mixed lot for the Mint & Meow singles collection, this Gyarados was pulled aside as soon as we saw how clean the holo and borders looked. It went straight into a fresh sleeve and secure storage, waiting for a new trainer who loves that old-school style with modern print quality.
Condition: Near Mint (NM)
Strong holo shine with only very light surface wear visible under close inspection
Corners and edges are in great shape, with minimal whitening
No creases, bends, or major defects spotted in normal lighting
Not a guaranteed grading candidate, but a beautiful copy for display, play, or a nostalgic binder page
Best for:
Trainers who grew up with the original Gyarados art and want a cleaner, modern print
Kanto collectors building a water-type or Gyarados-focused binder spread
Fans of XY Evolutions who love pairing classic artworks with newer Illustration Rares
Anyone who wants a dramatic, stormy holo to anchor their nostalgia row
Your Gyarados 34/108 Holo Rare will ship sleeved, toploaded & team-bagged, packed with Mint & Meow care 🐾✨
