# Gyarados #34/108 — Evolutions

## Summary

Gyarados is among the most beloved Gen I Pokémon, the payoff for hauling a Magikarp through hundreds of levels, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this reprint in the set that revisited Base Set-era designs. As a standard Rare it was a mid-tier pull whose appeal is nostalgia more than scarcity. The modelled guide sits at $8.60, down 2% over 30 days on 92 copies traded, with 85 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
