About this card
Gyarados rears up out of the dark with its jaw wide open, and the orange belly scales are the only warm color in the frame. It evolves from an ordinary Magikarp, because the set prints no Dark Basic Pokémon at all. Every card with Dark in its name is a Stage 1 or a Stage 2, and the twenty three that go without are all Basics, so a deck has to raise the plain form into the corrupted one. Final Beam answers after the fact, since a coin flip on the knockout sends 20 damage back for each Water Energy that was attached.
