Great Encounters

Claydol 15/106 · Great Encounters

Claydol, Great Encounters #15

Claydol is Pokédex #344, generation 3 (Hoenn). Claydol is a Stage 1 Fighting Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 45. The card says it evolves from Baltoy. In this catalog that name is Baltoy (#343).

Claydol sits at 15/106 in Great Encounters, position 15 of 106. Before it is 14 Butterfree, and after it is 16 Dialga. The set belongs to the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on February 1, 2008. The printed size is 106, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare.

Cosmic Power is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may choose up to 2 cards from your hand and put them on the bottom of your deck in any order. If you do, draw cards until you have 6 cards in your hand. This power can't be used if Claydol is affected by a Special Condition. The attack Spinning Attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless. Weakness is Grass +20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "An ancient clay figurine that came to life as a Pokémon from exposure to a mysterious ray of light."

Claydol (#344) has 23 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 20 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2004 to 2026. The earliest other card is Team Magma's Claydol 8/95 in Team Magma vs Team Aqua (2004). That card is named Team Magma's Claydol, while this one is Claydol. Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Zu-Ka illustrated that card, and Midori Harada illustrated this one. 15 other cards of Claydol list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Midori Harada. I count 352 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Great Encounters set binder is where a full Great Encounters set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Claydol can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
