Which booster pack is Gyarados ex in Pokémon TCG Pocket?

How to get Gyarados ex

Choose the Mew booster within Mythical Island; the pack name is more specific than the expansion name. Match A1a and collector number 18 when checking the card. The denominator 68 is its printed standard-set numbering, not a total including secret cards. A later expansion containing the same Pokémon name can be a separate effect or a reprint. Use the table to compare pack availability before spending resources on a particular booster.

Mew packs in Mythical Island (A1a); the A4b reprint came from Deluxe packs during limited runs.

How this Gyarados ex printing works

Deck choices and printing differences

Use the Water deck library and budget lists to compare support cards. These are browsing routes, not a claim that every deck includes this printing. Exact inclusion is established by the 20-card lists and their cited sources.

The printing table separates collector records, including alternate artwork where the database records it separately. A repeated name alone does not establish an identical attack or Ability. Match set, number, and printed effect before substituting cards. For rarity restrictions and eligibility, see the trading guide; being listed in a pack does not guarantee that every version can be traded.

Why can the same name appear in several packs?

Different artwork and effects can share a Pokémon name. Compare the set code and collector number using the printing table.
