Clamperl

Description

Released in 2008 as part of the Great Encounters expansion, the Pokémon Trading Card Game card numbered 64 features Clamperm, a Basic Water-type Pokémon. Illustrated by renowned artist Ken Sugimori, this Common rarity card offers collectors a nostalgic piece of the mid-2000s TCG era. In terms of gameplay, this card provides strategic options through its attacks. The Colorless Clamp attack allows players to flip a coin; if successful, it paralyzes the opponent's active Pokémon, while a failed flip results in no effect. Alternatively, the WaterColorless Sparkling Pearl attack deals 20 damage, offering a consistent damage output. With a modest HP of 40 and a retreat cost of just 1, Clamperm is designed for versatility in deck construction. Collectors often seek this card to complete the Great Encounters set or to appreciate the distinct aesthetic of Ken Sugimori’s early 2000s Pokémon illustrations. It remains a foundational piece for those interested in the history of the Pokémon TCG and the diverse roster of Water-type Pokémon available during this period.
