The Cosmos Holo treatment elevates the card's visual appeal with its shifting, star-patterned foil that catches light at different angles, and the card's permanently fixed supply—combined with over 20 years of natural wear from the population of Hidden Legends cards that were opened, played, and traded in the mid-2000s—ensures that quality raw copies remain a steady target for both set completionists and players of Unlimited format tournaments who still appreciate the creative energy-stripping mechanics of one of the EX era's most strategically rewarding Psychic-type Pokémon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCard Number \/ Rarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2\/101 \/ Holo Rare\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCard Type \/ HP \/ Stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePsychic \/ 80 \/ Stage 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCard Text:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoke-BODY\u003c\/b\u003e Primal Pull\u003cbr\u003eAs long as Claydol is your Active Pokemon, each player's Evolved Pokemon pays 1 more Energy \u003cem\u003e(any type)\u003c\/em\u003e to use its attacks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttack 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e[P] Muddy Eye (10x)\u003cbr\u003eDoes 10 damage times the number of basic Energy cards attached to Claydol and the Defending Pokemon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeakness \/ Resistance \/ Retreat Cost:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eP \/ None \/ 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-details__price-guide\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"price-guide\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"price-guide__side-panel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"price-guide__near-mint-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"near-mint__header price-guide__near-mint__header\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"svelte-1fz0gqk\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Image(s) Shown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll cards are professionally rated for quality assurance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll cards come sleeved, cards above $5 in value come toploaded. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__item-details__description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor in hand images please reach out via contact form. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Near mint (NM)","offer_id":52823903437087,"sku":"528239034370_0751","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Light Played (LP)","offer_id":52823903469855,"sku":"52823903437087_LightPlayed(E5523","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moderately Played (MP)","offer_id":52823903502623,"sku":"52823903437087_ModeratelyPl3D2FC","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Heavily Played (HP)","offer_id":52823903535391,"sku":"52823903437087_HeavilyPlayeA9903","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Damaged (D)","offer_id":52823903568159,"sku":"52823903437087_Damaged(D)_9C12D","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/8006\/6591\/files\/Claydol2_101ReverseHoloPokemonEXHiddenLegendsRaw.jpg?v=1787940227","url":"https:\/\/curatedcollectables.ca\/products\/claydol-2-101-reverse-holo-pokemon-ex-hidden-legends-raw","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
