Gyarados EX 225/198

Gyarados ex 225/198 comes from the Scarlet and Violet Base Set, the opening main English expansion of the Scarlet and Violet era. With a card number of 225 against a set size of 198 shown on the card, this printing sits beyond the standard numbered run, which marks it as a secret rare.

The ex designation identifies a powerful Pokemon card that gives up extra prize cards when knocked out, a mechanic that returned with this era. Gyarados has been a fan favourite for years thanks to its imposing design, and the ex treatment pairs that popularity with a card that doubles as a collectible chase and a deck option.

As a secret rare ex, this version is found far less often than the regular cards in the set, which keeps it in demand among collectors completing the higher numbered cards from the Scarlet and Violet Base Set.
