Exoskeleton is listed as Poké-Body. Any damage done to Cloyster by attacks is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Double Bubble lists 10× damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. This attack does 10 damage times the number of heads. If either of the coins is heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

I keep a set binder for FireRed & LeafGreen, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the FireRed & LeafGreen set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Cloyster can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
