Strategy & play
How Cloyster δ plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥35 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Shellder; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
How to beat Cloyster δ
- Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥35 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
