What Is Gyarados Worth?
Gyarados (Unlimited_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Base Set (Shadowless), card number 006/102. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is a premium card whose value justifies professional protection and, often, grading.
Gyarados Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Gyarados (Base Set (Shadowless), 006/102) is worth around $118.38 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $118.38, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $22.40. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $118.38, Lightly Played $54.03, Moderately Played $35.11, Heavily Played $27.83, Damaged $22.40 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else.
