Shuckle 51/64 · Neo Revelation

Neo Revelation is a set in the Neo series. It was released on September 21, 2001. The printed size is 64. This checklist is longer, at 66 cards. Shuckle is 51/64, in position 51 of 66 on this checklist. Before it is 50 Remoraid, and after it is 52 Skiploom. The listed rarity is Common.

Shuckle is a Basic Fighting Pokémon with 40 HP. The card lists level 28. In the Pokédex this is Shuckle (#213), generation 2 (Johto).

Yuka Morii illustrated this card. The same name is on 204 other cards in the catalog.

Shuckle (#213) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Shuckle 72/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 40 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Yuka Morii illustrated this one. 17 other cards of Shuckle list a different HP.

Hard Shell is listed as Pokémon Power. Whenever an attack (including your own) does 40 or less damage to Shuckle (after applying Weakness and Resistance), reduce that damage to 10. (Any other effects of attacks still happen.) This power stops working while Shuckle is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Toxic Saliva lists no damage number. The cost is Grass, Grass. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. It now takes 20 Poison damage instead of 10 after each player's turn (even if it was already Poisoned). Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It stores berries inside its shell. To avoid attacks, it hides beneath rocks and remains completely still."

I keep a set binder for Neo Revelation, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Revelation set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Shuckle can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Yuka Morii clay cards. I still need this card.
