Gyarados
I suspect this Pokémon to be the true identity of a dragon written of in ancient texts, which claimed that it razed an entire village with white-hot beams from its maw.

RED GYARADOS (色違い / "Akai Gyarados") — factory red repaint of the classic Gyarados mold, on its blue wave base. ✏️ CORRECTION (Jul 2026): this entry previously stated "lottery was HG/SS — paired with Shiny Magikarp." What is documented is different: MyFigureCollection (item 412903) catalogs it as Monster Collection DP "Shiny ver., Akai Gyarados" — JANUARY 2010, campaign gift for PURCHASING 5 MonColle figures (not a lottery), 38mm, barcode 4904810372189. It is indeed from the HG/SS era (the red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage), but NO MonColle figure of gold Magikarp exists as a pair for that campaign: the gold+red pair people remember are the Pokémon Center PLUSH toys (Dec 2009). The only MonColle gold Magikarp is the 2005 grail (grail-gold-magikarp). Rarity: it's the "most common" Tomy shiny (Shiny Garden); the community 1st-gen guide marks it HTF (hard to find). 💰 References: a 色違い lot including this Gyarados closed at ¥75,000 (~$500 USD) (Yahoo, 2026); MonColle Gyarados max ¥38,000 (~$253 USD). ⚠ The gyarados-tomy-shiny entry in the catalog is this SAME figure (duplicate pending merge).

Gyarados from the "コイキング・ギャラドスセット" (Koiking·Gyarados Set, 2 MS-size figures, together with Magikarp) set. ¥1,430 (税込), release 29-Aug-2026. Detected by the monitor 2026-07-20; curated against the official lineup 2026-07-20 (product page magikarp_gyarados_set).
AMERICAN box in English (red lettering) from 2nd gen MonColle, covering dex 1-251 (vs the Japanese split black 1-151 + yellow 152-251). Documented from the PokéShiny Finds physical collection — the website only documents 4 of these (Golem/Jolteon/Magmar/Snubbull); all 251 are a verified personal contribution.
White stripe box (1-151, different manufacturing run). Recolor documented between manufacturing runs (tomydatabase catalogs it as a "color-tone variant"). The white stripe corresponds to one of those runs — the exact paint difference is a contribution from the physical collection (the site catalogs the existence, not the detail).
