Gorebyss

Description

Gorebyss, the Sea Bass Pokémon, appears as card number 52 in the 2015 Pokémon Primal Clash expansion. This Reverse Holo rare card is a Water-type Stage 1 evolution that evolves from Clamperl. Designed with a sleek aesthetic typical of the era, the card features artwork by Kouki Saitou and showcases the creature’s elegant swimming form. Collectors appreciate the reverse holo finish for its shimmering background that contrasts with the standard foil treatment found on other cards in the set. In gameplay terms, Gorebyss boasts 90 HP and a modest retreat cost of one colorless energy. Its primary attack, WaterColorless Psy Bolt, deals 30 damage and includes a powerful secondary effect: flip a coin, and if heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon becomes Paralyzed. This utility makes it a functional piece for trainers building decks centered around status conditions, even as the meta shifts over time. The card’s Pokédex lore notes its exquisite elegance and diet of seaweed, adding a layer of character depth for lore enthusiasts. As part of the Primal Clash series, this card represents a pivotal era in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introducing new mechanics and powerful Pokémon. The reverse holo variant is particularly sought after for its visual appeal and distinct texture. Whether you are completing a full set of Primal Clash cards or hunting for specific Water-type Pokémon, Gorebyss offers a blend of nostalgic design and strategic potential.
