Cloyster [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Cloyster #8 is one of Expedition Base Set’s holo rares, placing it in the very first main expansion of the Pokémon e-Card era in English—a landmark set that brought the e-Reader dot-code design to the TCG.
Card History
This reverse holo comes from Expedition’s distinctive early e-Series treatment, where reverse holos used a plain refractor-style foil instead of the traditional starfield holo seen in earlier Wizards of the Coast cards.
Artist
Expedition Cloyster was illustrated by Kyoko Umemoto, whose clean, naturalistic style gives this card the sharp, specimen-like look that collectors often associate with e-Series artwork.
Card History
Cloyster has a memorable anime battling pedigree because Prima’s Cloyster defeated Ash’s Pikachu in "The Mandarin Island Miss Match," giving the species a real boss-battle aura for longtime fans.
In-Game
Cloyster is a Generation I Pokémon famous for its nearly impenetrable shell and spike volleys in the games, which makes Expedition’s attack names like Lick and Auto Fire feel especially flavorful for such a defensive, explosive species.
