Collector Insights
Cloyster is a Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring two distinct attacks. Its first attack, Lick, costs two Colorless Energy and deals 10 damage. When used, it flips a coin, potentially paralyzing the defending Pokémon if heads. The second attack, Auto Fire, requires Water and two Colorless Energy, dealing 20 damage multiplied by the number of heads from four coin flips. This attack emphasizes probabilistic damage scaling. The card was released in the Base Expansion Pack on December 1, 2001, as a Rare card. Artist Kyoko Umemoto designed the artwork, contributing to its visual identity. The card’s mechanics focus on strategic risk-reward decisions through its dual attack options. It remains a notable entry in the Pokémon TCG’s early expansion sets.
