Cloyster Card Facts & History
4 facts about this card
Set Lore
Cloyster #42 comes from Expedition Base Set, the launch point of Pokémon’s e-Card era, which made this rare part of the first wave of English cards designed for Nintendo’s e-Reader technology.
Card History
This card stands out in Expedition because it gives Cloyster a swingy, coin-flip-heavy identity with Auto Fire, a very early-2000s design style that makes each attack feel dramatic at the table.
Artist
The artwork was illustrated by Kyoko Umemoto, an artist whose clean, storybook-style compositions helped give many early e-Card Pokémon a softer, more atmospheric look.
In-Game
Cloyster has long been defined in the games by its nearly impenetrable shell, with Pokédex material describing it as harder than diamond, which makes this defensive-looking Expedition artwork feel especially on-brand.
