#23 Barbaracle - Fates Collide (xy10)

Barbaracle is a Water-type Pokémon with 100 HP. It features the Claw Slash attack, which costs two Water Energy and one Colorless Energy to deal 70 damage. The card requires three Colorless Energy to retreat, reflecting its strategic balance. Barbaracle possesses the Hand Block ability, preventing opponents from attaching Special Energy cards to their Pokémon if a Stadium card is in play. This ability introduces a defensive mechanic tied to the game's Stadium rules. The Pokémon's flavor text describes its limbs acting independently while generally obeying the head's commands, hinting at its autonomous nature. It was released in the XY series as part of the Fates Collide set on May 2, 2016. The card is classified as Rare, underscoring its collectible value. Artist Shin Nagasawa designed the artwork, contributing to its visual appeal.
