Gyarados V 171/203

Gyarados V comes from Evolving Skies, one of the most popular sets of the Sword and Shield era. V cards were the core of that period's higher rarities, representing a single powerful Pokemon with a larger health pool and stronger attacks than basic cards.

This is the Full Art printing, numbered 171/203. Full art V cards use an illustration that fills the entire card, with the Pokemon shown in a detailed scene and a textured finish that sets them apart from the standard framed version. The number sits below the set total of 203, so this is a full art from the set's higher rarities rather than a secret rare. These are pulled at a lower rate than the regular V, which gives them strong collecting appeal.

Gyarados has been a fan favourite for decades, and the full art treatment in Evolving Skies gives this version a striking presentation. It suits collectors completing the set's full art run as well as anyone building a focused Gyarados collection.
