Gyarados is a rare holo Pokemon card from Pokemon Ancient Origins, card 21 of 98, released August 12, 2015 in the XY series. The illustration is by TOKIYA.

VALUE

What is Gyarados #21 from Ancient Origins worth?

Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Gyarados #21 (Ancient Origins) carries a market reference of $65.33 USD for the holofoil printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - our own graded marks for this card are charted and tabled below, per grader and grade. Both are references, not offers. The graded copy in our machine carries a Rip Station estimated slab value of $617.00 (PSA 9).
