The Dark Gyarados 8/82 in context
Why collectors care
Dark Gyarados is among the most demanded cards in Team Rocket after Dark Charizard, carried by Gyarados's standing as a fan-favorite and by artwork that suits the set's villain theme unusually well.
How to identify it
Number 8/82 in the alphabetical Dark holo ordering. The "Edition 1" stamp separates 1st Edition from Unlimited.
Common mistakes
Do not confuse it with the Shining Gyarados from Neo Revelation (65/64), a much scarcer and more valuable card that is also in this catalog.
Grade considerations
Centering and foil scratching limit most copies. Demand is strong enough that the spread between mid-grade and gem copies is wide for a non-Charizard Team Rocket card.
