Where it came from
The Gyarados 21/98 card was released in 2015 as part of the Ancient Origins expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set served as the seventh entry in the XY series, reflecting the mechanics and aesthetics established during the X and Y video game era. The card features a holofoil treatment characteristic of the era's rare cards, designed to emphasize the dramatic, aquatic nature of the Pokémon as it rises from the depths.
The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Kouki Saitou, a prolific artist in the Pokémon TCG space known for a clean, dynamic style. Saitou's illustration captures Gyarados in a classic, intimidating pose consistent with its lore as a destructive force of nature. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players and collectors for its utility in gameplay and its high-quality foil finish, becoming a recognizable staple of the Ancient Origins set.
