What Is On This Card?

Evolves from: Magikarp

Pokémon Power

Final Beam

When Dark Gyarados is Knocked Out by an attack, flip a coin. If heads, this power does 20 damage for each Water Energy attached to Dark Gyarados to the Pokémon that Knocked Out Dark Gyarados. Apply Weakness and Resistance. This power doesn't work if Dark Gyarados is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Attack · 30 damage

Ice Beam

Water + Water + Water energy. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

Normally found only in the deep ocean, it has recently been seen in shallow waters as well.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Team Rocket set name, and 8 / 82 collector number. Those identifiers matter more than the character name alone because the Pokémon TCG can reuse names across reprints, promos, alternate artwork, and later expansions.

Next, match the finish and condition. A holofoil, reverse holofoil, unlimited, or first-edition listing may carry a different reference price even when it belongs to the same card printing. Grading adds another layer: raw marketplace references should not be treated as prices for PSA, Beckett, or CGC slabs.

Finally, compare the visible update date with current marketplace listings and recent sold results. MonZap gives you a fast catalog reference, set context, and scanner workflow, while the linked marketplaces help you check what is available right now.
