Where it came from
The Cloyster card (34/149) was released in early 2017 as part of the Sun & Moon base set, which marked the transition into the seventh generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This expansion introduced a new aesthetic direction for the game, featuring updated card templates with cleaner typography and a more modern look designed to reflect the tropical Alola region setting of the accompanying video games.
The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator Kouki Saitou, a long-time contributor to the franchise known for his dynamic and vibrant style. Saitou's depiction of Cloyster emphasizes the Pokémon's defensive, shell-based nature, fitting well within the set’s focus on showcasing the unique ecological traits of Generation VII creatures. Upon its release, the set was well received by the player base for reinvigorating the game's mechanics, specifically through the introduction of Pokémon-GX cards, which significantly impacted the competitive landscape.
