Provenance

Where it came from

The Cloyster card (32/146) was released as part of the XY base set, which debuted in early 2014 as the first expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game to feature Generation VI Pokémon. This set marked a significant transition in the game, introducing the Fairy-type to the card game mechanics and updating the card layout to feature the iconic blue border designs that defined the XY era. It served as a bridge between the legacy of the Kalos region and the established strategic depth of the long-running franchise.

The artwork for this specific card was rendered by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran of the TCG since its inception. Arita is celebrated for his ability to emphasize the unique, armored anatomy of Cloyster, focusing on a dynamic, intimidating pose that highlights the shell’s jagged edges. As a Rare card within the XY base set, it was designed to appeal to both players interested in Water-type synergy and collectors seeking to document the introduction of newer generations into the classic competitive framework.
