It is illustrated by Satoshi Shirai and carries the number 57, classified as a Rare card. The Pokémon’s flavor text describes it as protected by a hard shell, using its claws to skewer prey. Armaldo has two attacks: Rushing Water, which costs one Colorless Energy to deal 40 damage and moves an Energy from the opponent’s Active Pokémon to one of their Benched Pokémon, and Guard Claw, requiring one Fighting and two Colorless Energies to deal 100 damage while granting resistance to damage during the opponent’s next turn. It has no resistances but is weak to Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s retreat cost is two Colorless Energies, and it has no listed abilities. Armaldo’s design emphasizes its defensive capabilities and predatory instincts through its attacks and thematic description.
