#73 Grapploct - Shining Fates Shiny Vault (swsh45sv)
Grapploct is a Fighting-type Pokémon with 130 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It belongs to the Sword & Shield series, released in the Shining Fates Shiny Vault set on February 19, 2021. The card is numbered 73 and classified as a Rare Shiny, designed by artist Masakazu Fukuda. Grapploct has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its two attacks include Octolock, which costs two Fighting energy and prevents the Defending Pokémon from retreating or having its attacks cost additional Colorless energy until Grapploct leaves the Active Spot. The second attack, Tough Swing, requires three energy (two Fighting and one Colorless) to deal 130 damage and ignores Resistance effects. The card’s flavor text emphasizes its powerful grappling techniques, highlighting a muscular body that amplifies its tentacle-based moves.
