Collector Insights
Grapploct is a Pokémon card featuring the Fighting type with an HP of 130. It was released as part of the Sword set on December 6, 2019, and is classified as a Uncommon rarity. The card is numbered 33 and illustrated by artist Shin Nagasawa. Grapploct has two attacks: Octolock and Tough Swing. Octolock requires two Fighting energy to use and imposes a restriction on the Defending Pokémon, preventing it from retreating and increasing the cost of its attacks by Colorless energy until Grapploct leaves the Active Spot. Tough Swing demands three energy—two Fighting and one Colorless—and deals 130 damage while ignoring Resistance effects. The card’s design emphasizes its ability to disrupt opponents through strategic energy manipulation. Its effects are limited to the duration Grapploct remains in play, ensuring a temporary but impactful advantage. The card’s balance of offensive and defensive mechanics reflects its role in competitive play.
