Cloyster (32/62) from the Pokémon Fossil set is a classic Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon card that captures the essence of the early Pokémon TCG era. First released in 1999, this Uncommon card features the bivalve Pokémon known for its impenetrable shell and fierce defensive tactics. With 50 HP and evolving from Shellder, Cloyster is a resilient addition to any vintage deck or collection. Its striking artwork by Kagemaru Himeno showcases the Pokémon's spiky exterior and mysterious aura, making it a visually compelling piece for fans of retro Pokémon memorabilia.

The card boasts two powerful attacks: Clamp and Spike Cannon. Clamp deals 30 damage and has a chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon with a coin flip, while Spike Cannon flips two coins and deals 30 damage for each heads, offering high-risk, high-reward potential in battle. With a retreat cost of two Colorless energy and a weakness to Lightning-type attacks, Cloyster balances offense and strategy, making it a nostalgic favorite for players who appreciate the mechanics of the original base sets

Available in both 1st Edition and Unlimited printings, Cloyster (32/62) holds enduring appeal among collectors and players alike. The 1st Edition version, marked by the iconic "1" symbol, is particularly sought after due to its rarity and historical significance in the early days of the Pokémon TCG. Whether you're completing a Fossil set, building a retro-themed deck, or preserving a piece of gaming history, this card is a valuable and evocative addition to any collection.
