Pokémon Power ⇢ Shell Armor
You may reduce all damage done by attacks to Misty’s Cloyster by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). (Any other effects of attacks still happen). This power can’t be used if Misty’s Cloyster is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
{W}{W}{C} → Triple Cannon : 20×
Flip 3 coins. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads.

The first time I saw this guy.
“Finally a Cloyster card that at least acknowledges his defensive capabilities in the games”
This guy probably wouldn’t mind getting a Metal Energy drooped in for that Colorless on Spike Cannon. Sure, it’ll lose a bit of it’s bite, but that minus 20 damage.

Cloyster’s Pokémon Power will go unused for years – at least by name – until finally showing up again on BW Samurott. This is a case where something does seem to have made its debut in the TCG before the video games, as the original name of the Power, [シェルアーマー 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐫], is the same as the name of the Ability that first appears in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. (It’s all the more likely when you consider Cloyster is capable of having the Ability.)
