Dark Gyarados (8/82) is a Water-type Stage 1 Pokémon card from the Celebrations set, released in 2021 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Pokémon TCG. With 70 HP, it evolves from Magikarp and features the Pokémon Power "Final Beam," which deals 20 damage for each Water Energy attached to it to the Pokémon that Knocked it Out, if a coin flip is heads. Its attack "Ice Beam" deals 30 damage and may paralyze the Defending Pokémon.

As a Holo Rare card in the "Classic Collection" subset, it is a reprint of the original Team Rocket set version, maintaining the same artwork by Kagemaru Himeno. It has a weakness to Grass (×2), resistance to Fighting (–30), and a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy. While not legal in Standard format, it is permitted in Expanded.

Distributed in booster packs and Elite Trainer Boxes, Dark Gyarados (8/82) is popular among collectors for its nostalgic value and connection to a fan-favorite card.
