#54 Shellder - Fossil (base3)
Shellder is a Water-type Pokémon with 30 HP. It features two primary attacks: "Supersonic," which costs a Water energy and forces the defending Pokémon to become Confused if a coin flip results in heads, and "Hide in Shell," which also requires a Water energy and grants the user protection from all damage during their opponent's next turn if a coin flip lands on heads. The card has no resistances but is weak to Lightning attacks, which deal double damage. Shellder’s retreat cost is one Colorless energy, reflecting its basic evolution status. The flavor text emphasizes its shell’s defensive nature, noting it can withstand attacks until its shell is open. Shellder is part of the Base set, released in 1999 as part of the Fossil theme. The card was illustrated by artist Mitsuhiro Arita, contributing to its distinct visual identity.
