Cloyster 24/122 · BREAKpoint

Cloyster is Pokédex #091, generation 1 (Kanto). Cloyster is a Stage 1 Water Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Shellder. In this catalog that name is Shellder (#090).

Cloyster sits at 24/122 in BREAKpoint, position 24 of 126. Before it is 23 Shellder, and after it is 25 Staryu. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on February 3, 2016. The printed size is 122. This checklist is longer, at 126 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Sudden Grip lists 10 damage. The cost is Water. If this Pokémon evolved from Shellder during this turn, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Surf is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "Its shell is extremely hard. It cannot be shattered, even with a bomb. The shell opens only when it is attacking."

Cloyster (#091) has 13 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Cloyster 32/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Saya Tsuruta illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Cloyster list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Saya Tsuruta. I count 123 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

BREAKpoint set binder is where a full BREAKpoint set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Cloyster can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Saya Tsuruta cards. I still need this card.
