Released in 2015 as part of the Japanese Pokémon TCG XY “Rage of the Broken Heavens” (XY9) expansion, this Cloyster trading card showcases the classic Gen I Shell Pokémon in vivid underwater artwork by illustrator Saya Tsuruta. The detailed illustration features Cloyster navigating a swirling ocean scene with bubbles and rocky formations, all rendered in cool blue tones. This is a 1st Edition Japanese card (with the “1st Edition” mark) and is marked Uncommon, which adds to its collectible appeal for fans. While its gameplay stats are modest (100 HP and a 70-damage attack), it’s often appreciated more for its nostalgic value and distinctive art than for competitive play. Collectors will note its place in the XY era of the Pokémon TCG, adding a touch of retro charm to any collection.
