Frequently asked questions

Does a Near Mint Shellder matter?

On its own, expect very little for a single copy. Shellder is a Basic Water Pokémon with 30 HP. Its weakness is Lightning ×2. Its printed text says "Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused". It evolves into Cloyster. Its retreat cost is 1. Its Supersonic attack costs Water. Printed 54 of 62 in Fossil, it carries the Common marking, drawn by Mitsuhiro Arita. It matters only when it fills a gap in a set or an evolution line, which is where the small premium comes from.
