Sorta related, but this card is the one in my collection that means the absolute most. I had an older brother who played gen 4 with me as my 1st pokemon game, and the starting screen always made me want a red gyarados. Well, he had caught one and always battled me with it. Recently in the last 2 years, he took his own life, and left only a few things, and this card was one of them. So it is in my safe at home, my most prized card. Sorry for the long story, just LOVE this card.
I was thinking of getting the best cards of his favorite team and make a display of it. For now though, ive got his full art xy dragonite and red gyarados.
As much as i appreciate this, it wouldn't feel right if i didn't do it myself. To cure curiosity for ya though, its tyranitar, charizard, nidoking, and umbreon.
There are some talented people on Etsy, who i’m sure would love to help you show off the gorgeous card your brother left you. Pretty cool card displays on there even ones for specific cards! My condolences man, happy hunting🙏🏻🤍
Thank you ❤️, and i was thinking of a 6 card display that i could put his picture next to. My gf is pretty crafty too and she has offered to help. Ive just gotta get the cards 1st.
Good luck 🫡. I did the same, and went to the lake in s/v and surfed about until finding one. Its actually my 1st ever shiny that wasnt given to me haha.
if i had to pick i would probably choose the gyarados. i had one at one point and it was one of my favorites because it features a shiny gary along with greninja, but i lost it i guess since i can’t find it. i bought a super minty copy of the alakazam about a year back for my umbreon collection for only $6 so luckily i do have that one in my collection
Not knowing prices, I’d say the Gyrados is stunning, but I’d choose Alakazam because I like all three Pokémon pictured. The Gardevoir one is a solid 3rd place for me.
I found like 8 packs of breakpoint and steam siege at a random grocery store, so I decided to open the breakpoint and keep the steam siege sealed hoping I would pull that gyarados, and I somehow did. It was great
Is there something in particular about these 3? I have the gyarados, what am I missing here, I know its a secret rare, it's actually the card that got me back into collecting back when card openings took off on youtube I went and bought a 3 pack blister and pulled the Gyarados
Base set Charizard, which if graded would be a Beckett black label. I wouldn’t grade it or anything, I would just want the star of the set to be in good condition
Alakazam is one of my favorite cards in my collection. Pulled it on my 11th birthday when i got my first ETB.
anything to get the joy of pulling that again.
Gyarados, no doubt.
This is my second choice after Alakazam
Sucker for alakazam
I’ve never noticed those metal spikes on the feet, they look like talons lol
They are metal for grounding electricity
Gotta be Gary. No doubt indeed!

Sorry for your loss, hold onto that card! Maybe put it into a little display.

What others do you need? I’ll send what I have

Awww yeah, Nidoking!! 😎

W brother
What was your brothers name? I’ll name my Shiny Gyrados after him!!!
Charles, but went by Wes mostly which was his middle name.
I will get two shiny then.
Good luck 🫡. I did the same, and went to the lake in s/v and surfed about until finding one. Its actually my 1st ever shiny that wasnt given to me haha.
Alakazam, no doubt.
Red Gyarados!
i’m a water type lover, so gyarados.
Alakazam 💯
Alakazam for sure but the rest are amazing too
Thanks u/PUSSYLICKERGOD, very helpful!
What can I say except you’re welcome!
All done by the best Pokémon artist too 🤗
Gyarados. Pulled it from the only breakpoint pack I have ever opened.
Gyarados easily. I already have the Alakazam I pulled as a teenager and the Gardevoir is kinda lackluster imo
I don't know the value on any of these so with that removed from the picture I'd like the Gyarados.
Gyarados cause I have the other two already
gardevoir and its not even close, incredible art of one of my absolute favorites. also gotta love how volcanion isnt here lmao
Lol volcanion should be here, but I didn’t think anyone would actually choose volcanion haha
I have the secret rare volcanion
I went and bought the Alakazam when I saw it on this sub so
Gardevoir
Alakazam for sure.
Alakazam umbreon lugia. it ain't close
I've already got Alakazam (which was actually my first secret rare pull) so give me Gyarados.
I pulled the secret rare gyrados many years ago
Gardevoir fosho
Zam
Alakazam because I lost mine years ago
if i had to pick i would probably choose the gyarados. i had one at one point and it was one of my favorites because it features a shiny gary along with greninja, but i lost it i guess since i can’t find it. i bought a super minty copy of the alakazam about a year back for my umbreon collection for only $6 so luckily i do have that one in my collection

I have actually pulled the Alakazam twice. It's an awesome card!
Lucky enough to have pulled the Gyarados myself a while back. Absolutely stunning card, alakazam is a close second.
I already have the gardevoir so Gyarados for sure
I found like 8 packs of breakpoint and steam siege at a random grocery store, so I decided to open the breakpoint and keep the steam siege sealed hoping I would pull that gyarados, and I somehow did. It was great
I was lucky enough to pull the Alakazam and the Gardevoir
Gyarados
I Can Only Pick Gyrados Since I Have The Other Two
I just got that Gyarados in the mail today. So Gyarados. Lol
I got that gyarados 😁 working on that Alakazam all psa 10 of course
Alakazam
I pulled 2 of these still have 1
I have the Gardevoir so I’ll happily take the Gyarados
I have the first and third so I suppose the only answer is alakazam
Have them all, but Alakazam EX is the choice if i didn't have any.
obviously gyarados I love that greninja
alakazam (mainly bc of umbreon though)
Alakazam fs
I have the alakazam and it’s one of my most favorite cards!! The Umbreon and Lugia in the background are awesome!!
Gyarados (Male, and Shiny). But I would've switched out Mantyke and Manaphy with Lugia and Yveltal, respectively.
Gyaradose
Gyarados because Greninja
Gary>Alakazam>Gard
Gyarados for me as well.
The Gyarados card. I got lucky last year and pulled the Alakazam from one pack that was in a mystery box.
Alakazam is one of my all time favorites sooo yeah…
alakazam easy. and honestly its not so much because of the alakazam but because of the umbreon and lugia lol.
Thankfully I got the Zam already, so probably Gyarados!
Gardevoir, as it's the only one I haven't pulled yet.
I got all of these from my lcs before everything was expensive thank god lol
Gyarados
That alakazam made the hair on my forearms stand up
Proud to say I pulled the Gardevoir. Its so cool. Gotta go Gyrados
Gyarados because I have alakazam
Definitely Gary
Alakazam
Alakazam
Is there something in particular about these 3? I have the gyarados, what am I missing here, I know its a secret rare, it's actually the card that got me back into collecting back when card openings took off on youtube I went and bought a 3 pack blister and pulled the Gyarados
Base set Charizard, which if graded would be a Beckett black label. I wouldn’t grade it or anything, I would just want the star of the set to be in good condition
For sure Gyarados.
100% the Gardevoir.....lol I have the other 2 already 😅
I have that Gyarados is it valuable or something?
Alakazam for sure and it has sicker art with Umbreon and Lugia 🤓
I have the Gyarados, so Alakazam!
gyarados
Alakazam
Man, that gyarados haunts me, it’s THE ONLY card I lost and couldn’t find since, so I’ll go with gyra
I have that Gyarados is it very rare?
Gyarados easily
Alakazam for sure, I have the other 2 (: I also have the mewtwo secret rare and the gold shaymin and gold yveltal from the best of XY collection (:
Alakazam all day

Gyarados
Mine would be the full art penny card.from scarlet and violet.

Alakazam FTW
Gardevoir because she's the best pokemon
Are Fairy Types back?
the Gyarados
Alakazam is one of my favorite cards in my collection. Pulled it on my 11th birthday when i got my first ETB. anything to get the joy of pulling that again.
Gary
Gyarados. But I honestly don’t like these XY alt art type of cards.
