Gyarados ex is card #109 of FireRed & LeafGreen (2004), a Rare Holo EX Pokémon, illustrated by Hikaru Koike.
Gyarados ex appears in 7 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The FireRed & LeafGreen (2004) #109 card is the earliest of 7 printings (2004–2023). Hikaru Koike only illustrated this FireRed & LeafGreen version; other printings credit 5ban Graphics, Eske Yoshinob, Ryo Ueda. Other Gyarados ex printings sit at Double Rare, Ultra Rare, Rare Ultra, Rare Secret rarity tiers, so this Rare Holo EX FireRed & LeafGreen card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 130 HP, while other Gyarados ex cards in the catalogue range from 180 to 300 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Gyarados ex hub page.

The 1 in 54 pull chance is calculated from the FireRed & LeafGreen 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 Gyarados ex FireRed & LeafGreen #109 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $237.60 USD, which puts it in the high-tier collector 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 200 Pack Dust from the FireRed & LeafGreen dust pool, which fills as you open FireRed & LeafGreen 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 Gyarados ex 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.
