# Shellder (Japanese) #078 — SI: Start Deck 100

## Summary

Shellder is a bulk common in the Japanese Start Deck 100 release, a slot where the appeal is the purple shell and that lolling pink tongue rather than any chase value. Released in December 2021, it trails the English Fusion Strike Shellder by about a month. The artwork drops it into swirling blue water, bubbles drifting around a small fish, a simple scene that suits a humble Water type.
