Collector Insights

Kingler is a Water-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. It includes two attacks: Crabhammer, which costs two Colorless energy to deal 30 damage, and Scissor Blow, requiring two Water and one Colorless energy to strike for 80 damage. The Scissor Blow attack has a unique effect, inflicting 30 damage to Kingler itself if the defending Pokémon is knocked out. The card is part of the Diamond & Pearl series, released in Great Encounters, and is classified as a Rare card. Artist Mitsuhiro Arita designed the artwork, and the Pokémon’s flavor text highlights its immense strength, though its weight complicates precise aiming. It has a Lightning weakness with a +20 damage boost. The card’s number is 20, and it lacks any abilities or resistances. Its design reflects the Pokémon’s aquatic theme and mechanical precision.

The larger pincer has 10,000-horsepower strength. However, it is so heavy, it is difficult to aim.
