Dark Gyarados is card #8 of Team Rocket (2000), a Rare Holo Pokémon, illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno.
Dark Gyarados appears in 5 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Team Rocket (2000) #8 card is one of 5 printings spanning 1997–2021. Other Dark Gyarados printings sit at Rare, Classic Collection, Uncommon rarity tiers, so this Rare Holo Team Rocket card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 70 HP, while other Dark Gyarados cards in the catalogue range from 70 to 80 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Dark Gyarados hub page.

“Normally found only in the deep ocean, it has recently been seen in shallow waters as well.” — Pokedex entry, National Dex #130
The 1 in 57 pull chance is calculated from the Team Rocket rare-slot composition modelled in PackRip's pack generator. Because rare slots are split between Holo Rare, Pokemon-ex, Secret Rare, Shining, Crystal and Gold Star tiers (depending on the era), individual ultra-rare odds can run an order of magnitude lower than headline 1-in-3 holo-slot rates.
The TCGplayer market price for Dark Gyarados Team Rocket #8 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $69.79 USD, which puts it in the mid-tier bracket. Graded copies sell for more than raw, but PackRip holds no grading-population or auction data, so no graded figure is estimated here. This snapshot is also what the in-game sell price is derived from.
Rather than chase the pull, you can craft this card for 150 Pack Dust from the Team Rocket dust pool, which fills as you open Team Rocket packs.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Dark Gyarados or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
Card data and card images come from the open-source Pokemon TCG API; pack art and set logos from ptcg-assets; market prices are a bundled snapshot of TCGplayer data. Pull rates shown on PackRip are the simulator's own published rate table, not official figures.
