#8 Dark Gyarados - Team Rocket (base5)
Dark Gyarados is a Water-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy cards. It possesses the Ice Beam attack, which requires three Water Energy to use and deals 30 damage, with a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon. The card includes the Final Beam ability, which activates when Dark Gyarados is Knocked Out by an attack, dealing 20 damage per attached Water Energy to the attacker. This ability is conditional on the Pokémon not being Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. Dark Gyarados has a Resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30, and a Weakness to Grass-type attacks, which deals double damage. The flavor text notes its recent sightings in shallow waters, contrasting its usual deep-ocean habitat. Designed by artist Kagemaru Himeno, this card is part of the Team Rocket set, released in April 2000. Its thematic color scheme aligns with the Water-type association, reflecting its aquatic nature.
