Where it came from
The Cloyster card (20/83) was released in 2016 as part of the Generations expansion, a special set commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. This set was notable for its inclusion of the Radiant Collection, a subset focused on high-quality artwork and sentimental themes, which drew inspiration from previous successful sets like Legendary Treasures.
The card features an illustration by Midori Harada, a prolific artist in the Pokémon Trading Card Game ecosystem. Harada is known for her expressive, sometimes whimsical style, and for this entry, she captured Cloyster with a vibrant, watery aesthetic that aligns with the set's goal of celebrating the franchise's history. Upon release, the set was well-received by collectors who appreciated the nostalgic tribute to the original 151 Pokémon and the sophisticated card designs.
