Collector Insights

Cloyster is a Pokémon TCG card with 80 HP, featuring a dual-type Water/Steel composition. The card was released in the Shining Darkness set on July 5, 2007, as a Uncommon rarity card numbered 33. It is illustrated by artist Ken Sugimori and belongs to the Pokémon supertype. The card includes two attacks: Withdraw and Spine Missile. Withdraw requires no energy cost and involves flipping a coin to potentially prevent all damage to Cloyster during the opponent's next turn. Spine Missile demands two energy costs—Water and Colorless—and inflicts damage based on a coin flip outcome. This attack allows the player to target multiple opponent Pokémon, dealing 20 damage per heads result. The ability to bypass Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon adds strategic flexibility. Cloyster's design emphasizes defensive and offensive capabilities through its unique attack mechanics.
