Gyarados is the Atrocious Pokemon — the furious Water/Flying serpent that a lowly Magikarp becomes, one of the most iconic and feared creatures in the franchise. Its cards are a who's-who of grails: the Gold Star delta, the Base Set holo, and the legendary blood-red Shining Gyarados.
Gyarados is a grail line top to bottom — the Gold Star delta tops $1,500, with the Skyridge holo, the Base Set holo, and the famous red Shining Gyarados all clearing $570. One of the deepest top-10s in the entire dex. Ranked by verified sold price.
This is the grail: a Gold Star (star) Gyarados with a delta-species twist, from EX Holon Phantoms (2006). Gold Stars were the ultra-rare chase of the EX era — roughly one per box — and this alternate-colored Gyarados is among the most coveted, crowning the line above $1,500.
