Collector Insights

Carracosta is a Water-type Pokémon with 140 HP, featured in the Plasma Blast set from the Black & White series. It was released in 2013 and is classified as a Rare card. The card’s flavor text highlights its formidable strength, suggesting it can deliver devastating blows with its appendages. Carracosta has two primary attacks: Fossil Clutch, which costs Water and two Colorless energies to deal 50+ damage and allows discarding a Fossil-named Item card for extra impact, and Waterfall, requiring two Water and two Colorless energies to deal 80 damage. The Pokémon’s weaknesses include Grass-type attacks multiplied by two, making it vulnerable to such threats. Artist Mitsuhiro Arita designed the card, and it carries thedex number 565. The card’s retreat cost consists of four Colorless energies, reflecting its strategic gameplay considerations.

It could knock out a foe with a slap from one of its developed front appendages and chew it up, shell or bones and all.
