This is an original 1999 Pokemon Trading Card Game Base Set Shellder card (#54/62), featuring the iconic Bivalve Pokemon. Shellder is a Basic Water-type Pokemon with 30 HP, equipped with two Water-type attacks: Supersonic (which can confuse the defending Pokemon with a coin flip) and Hide in Shell (a protective move that prevents damage on a heads flip). The card displays classic 1st Edition Base Set artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, showcasing Shellder's distinctive purple shell and expressive features in vibrant color. The card exhibits Good condition consistent with vintage 1999 base set cards, showing visible wear from age and play including potential light creasing, minor surface wear, and slight corner/edge wear typical of cards from this era. The print quality and image clarity remain solid despite handling, with no major damage or stains present. Centering appears slightly off as common with base set production. Shellder is a highly collectible Pokemon card sought by both competitive players rebuilding classic Water-type decks and vintage collectors pursuing complete Base Set collections. As a common-rarity Pokemon card from the foundational 1999 release, it remains popular for its nostalgic appeal and functional gameplay mechanics. Base Set cards in any condition continue to hold collector value.
