Provenance

Where it came from

Released in early 2000, Base Set 2 was designed as a bridge for players who missed the initial launch of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It served as a compilation set, pulling popular cards from the original Base Set and the Jungle expansion to ensure that foundational cards remained accessible for deck-building and competitive play.

The Gyarados card featured in this set retains the iconic artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, which debuted in the original 1999 Base Set. Arita’s dramatic depiction of the Water-type Pokémon emerging from the ocean with its signature open-mouthed snarl was intended to capture the creature's fierce and intimidating reputation. As a holo-rare pull, the card remains a nostalgic touchstone for collectors who came of age during the height of the game's initial global popularity.
