Grapploct (SV073) is a Fighting-type Pokémon card from the 2021 Shining Fates set, specifically part of the exclusive Shiny Vault subset. Designed by Masakazu Fukuda, this Stage 1 Pokémon features a Shiny Rare holographic finish that makes it a standout piece for collectors of the Shining Fates era. Evolving from Clobbopus, Grapploct boasts 130 HP and brings a unique tactical presence to the TCG with its specialized moveset. The card’s abilities make it a compelling choice for players looking to control the battlefield. Its signature move, Octolock, forces the Defending Pokémon to pay an additional Colorless energy for attacks and prevents them from retreating until Grapploct leaves the Active Spot. This disruptive effect is complemented by Tough Swing, an attack dealing 130 damage that ignores Resistance, providing a reliable offensive option. The card’s design emphasizes its muscular, tentacle-based grappling theme, fitting seamlessly into the Shiny Vault’s aesthetic of reimagined Pokémon with shimmering treatments. For collectors, the Shiny Vault subset offers a distinct challenge, featuring cards numbered from SV001 to SV138 that are separate from the main Shining Fates numbering. Grapploct SV073 is highly sought after due to its unique placement within this subset and its visually striking Shiny Rare treatment. Whether you are building a themed collection of Fighting-type Pokémon or aiming to complete the Shiny Vault, this card represents a significant milestone. The combination of its strategic gameplay utility and its aesthetic appeal within the Shining Fates release makes Grapploct SV073 a notable addition to any TCG collection.
