07Why Collectors Want It

A Gold Star (★) and a Delta Species (δ) Gyarados — re-typed, shiny-style art, with the EX era's ~one-per-box pull rate.
Secret-numbered #102/110 in EX Holon Phantoms (2006).
The δ Gyarados stands out among Gold Stars for its dramatic alternate coloring.
Verified at ~$1,550 raw, but PSA 10 copies realize ~$80,520 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — a ~52x gem-mint multiple, one of the largest on the site.
That enormous spread reflects how rarely the gold foil survives in flawless condition.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Gyarados with 80 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Spiral Growth Cost: Fire + Colorless · 20 damage

Flip a coin until you get tails. For each heads, search your discard pile for a basic Energy card and attach it to Gyarados Star.

All-out Blast Cost: Fire + Fire + Fire + Fire · 50+ damage

Discard cards from the top of your deck until you have 1 card left. This attack does 50 damage plus 20 more damage for each Energy card you discarded in this way.

Weakness: Lightning ×2
Retreat cost: 2

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$80,520 against ~$1,550 raw (PriceCharting realized, May 2026) — roughly 52x.

Gold-star foil whitening and centering are brutal on this card; the tiny gem-mint population is exactly why the PSA 10 premium is so extreme.

Other graders: PSA 10 is the benchmark for this card; BGS and CGC gem copies trade well beneath it.
