Tap to open
Gyarados needs no introduction, and this particular version, card #23 from the 2016 Japanese Triplet Beat set, is a nice one for fans of Shin Nagasawa's artwork. It's a Rare, not a chase holo or secret rare, which is exactly why its price stays approachable. If you're trying to figure out Gyarados value in today's market, the short answer is that raw copies sit at $2, making this a card people collect for love of the artwork and the Pokémon rather than for profit.

The collector's take on Gyarados
Is Gyarados worth grading?
Here's the honest breakdown on grading this one. A raw, ungraded copy books at $2, while a PSA 10 sits at $43, which works out to about 21.6x the raw price. That sounds like a big jump, and it is, but remember that grading companies charge fees per card and turnaround isn't instant, so you're paying money and waiting time for a shot at gem mint. A Grade 9 only nets $15, so anything short of that flawless PSA 10 barely covers what you spent to send it in. If you already own a sharp-looking copy and enjoy the process, grading Gyarados can be a fun bit of the hobby, just go in knowing the numbers are modest and there's no guarantee the card comes back gem mint.
How rare is Gyarados?
Across every grading submission on record, 372 copies of this Gyarados have been graded, and out of those, 295 came back as PSA 10. That's a pretty striking ratio, most graded copies land in that top gem mint tier, which tells you this print run holds up well under a grader's eye. It also explains why the PSA 10 price doesn't run away from the pack: when gem mint isn't especially hard to hit, the population stays healthy and the price stays grounded rather than spiking the way it does for cards where PSA 10s are truly scarce.
Where can you pull Gyarados?
We've tracked this Gyarados getting pulled 153 times across the sites we monitor, including courtyard, packs, collector-crypt, and tilt-rips, so it's far from a phantom pull. The biggest single pull we've logged for this card hit $7,100, a reminder that even a modest-value Rare can occasionally land in a box worth a lot more when the right box or promo timing lines up. If you're hunting for it yourself, it's shown up in Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, XY Evolutions, Water Pack, and Wildcard Basic Pack. Just keep in mind that pack odds are pack odds: most rips don't come close to that headline number, so treat pulling as part of the fun rather than a plan to make money.
Questions people ask
How much is Gyarados worth?+
A raw, ungraded Gyarados #23 from Triplet Beat is valued at $2. That's the number most casual sellers and buyers will be working from unless the card has been professionally graded.
Is Gyarados worth grading?+
It depends on your goals. The jump from $2 raw to $43 for a PSA 10 is about 21.6x, and since 295 of the 372 graded copies came back PSA 10, gem mint is achievable, but grading fees mean the math is tight unless you're doing it for the love of having a graded card rather than pure profit.
How much is a PSA 10 Gyarados worth?+
A PSA 10 Gyarados #23 is valued at $43. That compares to $15 for a Grade 9 and $2 for a raw copy, so the biggest value jump clearly comes at that top gem mint grade.
